Have you ever wondered what it feels like to be tied and held in the embrace of rope?

Shibari, the art of rope bondage, can be a deeply emotional, meditative, and healing experience. It offers a way to drop into the body, release tension, and explore intimacy, trust, and surrender.

Before any session, it is essential to agree on the intention, set clear boundaries, and discuss aftercare since communication can become more challenging once you’re in rope.

While floor-based ties can be intuitive and sensual, suspension work requires in-depth knowledge of anatomy to avoid nerve damage or injury. That’s why we always recommend working with a skilled and caring rigger who can create a safe, attuned experience tailored to your needs and desires.

If you’re in Berlin or just passing through and curious to explore Shibari, here are some trusted and experienced Sensualists to discover.

For Coco, rope is not just a tool for restraint, but a language of connection: to hold, to regulate, to release. Her sessions weave together floor play, suspension, impact, and massage, always guided by breath, presence, and conscious touch.

Using elements like incense, sound bowls, and mindful bodywork, she invites honest, embodied experiences with no pressure to perform, only permission to feel. Coco also offers introductory rope workshops for couples who wish to explore Shibari in a safe and playful way.
