I have an Animal Science degree from Michigan State University. Since then, I have spent many years caring for various animals on farms. This helped me learn how to understand what others need, even when they can’t say it, which translates well to coaching humans and the practice of BDSM.
Additionally, I have 12 years of experience in medical sales and management. I’ve attended many corporate training and leadership classes, learning to manage time, set goals, and lead others. I am almost done with my second bachelor’s degree, this time in Psychology. I have always been fascinated by human behavior and the complexities of the mind.
I have immersed myself in the practices of BDSM for the past ten years. There is great joy in playing with my shadow self, acting out behaviors that are the parts of me I choose not to express daily. To bring this gift to others is a privilege. Life authentically without shame.
Tantra and BDSM may seem like two distinct practices, but they can be combined for a unique, intimate experience.
1. Tantra: Tantra involves using sexual energy for spiritual growth. It encourages mindfulness, deep connection, and the prolonged, heightened enjoyment of sensual experiences.
2. BDSM: BDSM is a form of consensual power play in sexual relationships, often involving role-playing, bondage, and dominance-submission scenarios.
When combined, Tantra and BDSM can create a deeply intimate and intense sexual experience. Here’s how:
1. Mindfulness and Presence: Both practices require high awareness and presence. In BDSM, participants must be acutely aware of their partner’s boundaries and responses. Similarly, Tantra encourages mindfulness and focus on the present moment.
2. Connection: Both Tantra and BDSM require deep trust and connection between partners. In BDSM, this is necessary for safety and consent, while in Tantra, it enhances spiritual and emotional intimacy.
3. Energy Exchange: In both practices, there’s a significant focus on the exchange of energy. In BDSM, this takes the form of dominance and submission. In Tantra, it’s about the mutual flow of sexual energy.
4. Exploration of Pleasure and Pain: Both Tantra and BDSM explore the boundaries of pleasure and pain. BDSM directly incorporates elements of pain as part of the sexual experience, while Tantra teaches practitioners to embrace all sensations – including those we might typically perceive as ‘pain’ – as part of the spectrum of human experience.
So, when used together, Tantra can add depth and intimacy to BDSM practices, while BDSM can add intensity and excitement to Tantra.
I am Goddess Viktoria Sway, a Dominatrix, Tantra practitioner, and life coach. My methods are based on empathy, authenticity, and somatic processing when faced with the uncomfortable. My passion is helping you become comfortable in your skin. Transformational BDSM isn’t just about dominance and submission; it’s about helping you find your inner truth and feel good being you. I want to bring calmness to your life when things get tough and help you grow and find satisfaction in yourself.
Throughout my years of experience, I have worked with individuals from all walks of life and backgrounds. This has given me a deep understanding and empathy for the struggles that people face in their daily lives. I have also witnessed firsthand how powerful it can be for someone to have a supportive and non-judgmental guide on their path to self-discovery.
I have spent the last ten years as a student and practitioner of both Tantra and BDSM. Combined these two activities facilitate a deeper understanding of self and start to free you to a more peaceful life.
Outside of my professional endeavors, I am an avid equestrian. I ride, train, and compete in eventing three days a week. As a player and a devoted hockey fan, I cheer passionately for the Red Wings. My love for the vibrant energy of the big city is insatiable—from its diverse food scene to captivating music, mesmerizing shows, and enlightening museums—I relish it all.
