Shakti Bliss
The Rope Doula (She/Her/They/Them)
Sacred (s)Witch, facilitator of conscious, ritualistic kink + devotional worship

Shakti Bliss is an intuitive, somatic healing guide, full spectrum midwife and indigenous witch from the lands of the Apache and Kickapoo (post colonized: Austin, TX).

Bliss has been involved in the rope community for almost a decade, and began teaching body awareness, mobility and yoga to the rope community before shifting her focus to bottoming education. Throughout the years, Bliss has become a competent rigger/(sWitch) with a focus on intimacy, connection, liberation and consent as the journey in her ropes. Bliss truly believes in reclaiming wellness and authentic self expression as our collective birthright and uses consensual touch and intimacy as pathways to self knowing and liberation. Bliss has years of training and education in hatha yoga, tantric philosophies, mindful movements and various aspects of BDSM and kink. A cornerstone of Bliss’ work is increasing visibility and representation for Black people in kink, sex education and tantric studies and to present a fresh perspective to the ritual and art of interpersonal connection.

Bliss currently owns and operates The [ _ ] Space studio in Austin, TX which specializes in cultivating community through movement and adult education which includes BDSM/ kink and sex ed. When she is not teaching, tying ropes (or in ropes) is providing full spectrum reproductive justice and support as well as homebirth midwifery care in central Texas
