Why does a message pop up when I open the Secure Application Form?

Click "yes" to messages from Hush Communications in order to use the Secure Forms on this site.  For your confidentiality, I use PGP encryption on all forms, powered by Hush Communications.  Clicking "yes" to messages from Hush enables the Hush encryption engine, which encrypts your information immediately upon hitting the "send" button.  I am pleased to offer my clients the highest possible level of information security.

Who is your ideal client?

My ideal client is bright, gracious, and open-minded.  He is either accepting of his alternative desires or is ready to become so.   He enjoys the physical side of play, but finds even greater satisfaction in psychological elements.  My client not only desires fulfilling activities, but also longs to form a bond with someone to guide and share those experiences. He is a down-to-earth person who enjoys my accessible personality, but also values professionalism and finds the structures and boundaries of my practice appealing.  I especially enjoy articulate individuals who thrive on stimulating conversation.

What is D/s?

D/s stands for domination and submission.  These letters are part of the acronym BDSM, which stands for Bondage/Discipline, Domination/Submission, and Sadism/Masochism.  D/s describes activities, scenes, and relationships that focus on submission to control, including ongoing training.   I have a broad range of interests, but D/s is one of my favorite dynamics.

Why have you chosen to offer an exclusive service?

There are many wonderful dominants offering quality services.  Clients have numerous options.  I have chosen a niche practice, oriented around in-depth experiences with a limited number of people.  I find this to be a natural fit for my interests and style as a domme.  I have dedicated my practice to meeting the needs and expectations of an exclusive clientele.  In this way I create the conditions under which I can give my best while enjoying myself most.

Is your companionship available to clients who don’t want to act or feel submissive during social time together?

I am open to companionship with individuals who prefer to interact as equals during our social time.  In this scenario, good manners and deferential behavior will substitute for submission.  I am certainly a caring person, an attentive listener, and eager conversationalist, but my role does not revolve around being merely decorative and flattering.  My companionship will be most appreciated by those who appreciate a woman of depth and substance.

You require an in-depth application process and an initial induction session.  I’m an experienced player.  Are these still required?

Yes.  The application and induction processes are important in creating a quality experience from the very first encounter.  I have received feedback that my professionalism is appreciated and helpful.  If you do not share that view, it may be a sign that you would find better compatibility elsewhere.

Can I speak with you over the phone?

Initial contact will be made via the secure online application form. If you are an applicant under consideration for an appointment, we will arrange a phone interview after your application is complete.

What do you wear during our time together?

My wardrobe is large and diverse, containing both traditional fetish items and many gorgeous pieces that defy the dominatrix stereotype.  I especially love vintage looks and elegant garments.  My shoe and boot collection is extensive.  When in public, I am always tastefully and appropriately dressed.  I do not accept costume requests, but if you have a particular fetish that I might use to my advantage, I would be interested in hearing about it.

Do you accept gifts or gratuities?  What kinds of gifts do you enjoy?

Gifts and gratuities are appreciated but never expected, and do not alter the experience I offer.  You may pamper me with gift certificates to a quality spa, book store, or boutique.   Kabuki Springs Spa in San Francisco or Etherea Salon Spa in Seattle are favorites.  Please remember to leave the name section of gift certificates blank.

I'm interested in a form of play you don't list on your site.  May I enquire about other interests?

Yes.  On the application form you may ask about interests not listed on the site as long as they are consistent with my boundaries.   When I respond to your application I will let you know if your unique interests are compatible with mine.

If we meet in another city, will a well-equipped playspace be available?

Yes. Although my private chambers are located in Seattle, I have access to beautiful spaces in San Francisco, New York and London.  With advance planning I may be able to secure a high-quality facility in other cities as well.

Do you see women, transpeople, or couples?

Although I designed this site for the male client, please know that I am very excited to welcome female and trans clients, as well as couples.  In a male/female couple, I ask that the female member of the couple initiate contact. I am educated about and aware of trans issues.

Can I read reviews of you on internet message boards?

I have a strong policy against message board reviews for reasons of confidentiality.  Testimonials are available on this website.

What is your nationality?

I am second generation American of Russian Jewish ancestry.  I have had clients from nearly every continent and from every major religion.  I respect diversity and welcome clients of all backgrounds.

Is your facility available for rental?

Unfortunately not.  I wish I could share my space with the community, but circumstances do not allow it.  I am happy to network with dominants in other ways.

Do you offer training or apprenticeship to new professional dommes?

No, I do not.  There are many fantastic educational opportunities available within the community, some of which are listed on the links page.

Are you looking for a personal submissive, play partner, or houseboy?

I am dominant in my personal life, but my professional relationships do not become personal.  I will not respond to email requests to serve me on a personal basis.  Requests from existing clients for a personal relationship are regarded as inappropriate.

Do you attend BDSM community events where I can meet you?

The proper way to introduce yourself to me as a potential client is through this website.  I am a private person by nature and not interested in being a public figure in the scene.  I do attend educational workshops regularly, and I enjoy making supportive connections with other dominas.  If you are a domme and you see me at a public event, please come say hello.
