​
​Dr. and Mistress Chi is the author of The Dominatrix Archetypes®: Become a Multidimensional Dominatrix in the Art of BDSM FemDom, presenting a psychologically-based, systematic approach to mastering the Art of Female Domination. This book offers a holistic, comprehensive, and cohesive guide for professional and lifestyles Dommes of any experience level. Male and nonbinary Dominants, and submissives can gain great value from this book, as well.
She is the founder of The Evolutionary Dominatrix® Academy, where she personally mentors women, online worldwide, in the art of Conscious Female Domination with her self-developed psychologically-based methodology and domination framework, The Dominatrix Archetypes®, as well as an in-depth focus in submissive psychology. The marriage of her psychological background and passion for the BDSM arts and D/s dynamics gave birth to her evolutionary teachings, taking FemDom to a new level of excellence, connection and joy.
​Dr. and Mistress Chi is the host of “Lightworkers Who Play in the Dark” podcast, which provides a glimpse into the real world of BDSM, kink and erotic domination and the intricacies of the lives of people who live in it. Dominatrices, when playing consciously, are Lightworkers—healers in service to the well-being of their submissives. If a Domme can see and accept her subs for all of who they are, if she can meet them in their darkness and celebrate it with them, she can transmute pain into ecstacy, shame into acceptance, fear into love.
