Dominatrix, erotic artist & somatic healer: meet Lady Leah Lorette

Can you describe yourself in 3 words ?

Priestess to Eros

I am a multidimensional and multimodality sex worker, performer, and erotic artist combining sex work with healing work, Eros Embodiment with bodywork therapy, exotic dance and BDSM with somatic experiencing, and eroticism with creative expression for sensual and sexual healing and liberation with my trademark EroSoma Method.
I have been in the adult industry for 15 years now working across ‘modalities’ from stripping to escorting, webcam modeling to ProDomme work.

I’m also a naturopathic wellness practitioner specialized in sexual and reproductive health with a background in midwifery.

Right now I am focusing on offering ProDomme and EroSoma sessions, holistic sexual health and wellness support and education, sustainable business and lifestyle coaching to other industry workers, as well as mutual aid and community care work through my sex worker collective.

I provide erotic bodywork, ProDomme sessions, and EroSoma coaching sessions for individuals and couples exploring Eros Embodiment, reclaiming their sensuality and connection to their erotic self after birth and during parenthood, and who are new to exploring Tantric practices, BDSM, and ethical nonmonogamy.
I also teach educational classes and facilitate LGBTQ-centered kink events, salons, and erotic performances.

Sensuality—exploring taste, touch, light, fabrics, beauty, sound, visual eroticism. Also group sex or erotic play parties and everything about it: the voyeurism, the exhibitionism, the sensuality and eroticism of it all is a huge turn on for me. Oh, and hairy armpits and happy trails on femmes.

I started in the adult industry at 18 when I needed a night job while going to massage school, and I loved it so much I never left the industry even while I pursued other “vanilla” educational pursuits or work.

Sex work has been the most accommodating to my needs as a chronically ill, dynamically disabled, Queer and AuDHD woman—and the least exploitative—of all of the jobs I’ve done in my life.

I am now blending my “vanilla” work with my sex work, as I’m old enough and experienced enough to decide that I no longer want to compartmentalize myself or hide who I am as a person, as a healer, as a community member and that feels both terrifying and liberating.

I live on a small homestead, so I will have a bit of social media scroll in bed time then my morning bathroom routine, get my caffeine, tend to all of my animals and maybe see what new plants are coming up outside or harvest a few, and then typically start work on a creative project or work-related activity.

I believe that many of our societal issues arise from the condemnation of the erotic self and our sensual nature. We are constantly told to avoid “the sins of the body” and prevented from being (or traumatized to not be) fully present in this world, in this life, in this body.

We are shamed for our bodies, our sexualities, our desires around sex and intimacy.
Sex work, somatic sex education, bodywork therapy, conscious kink and BDSM, and sensual explorations for Eros Embodiment I truly believe are personally healing and societally liberatory practices that I am here to facilitate and hold space for transformation through to make the world a better place.

The pleasure I find in facilitating a discovery or reconnective experience for another person and witnessing how it changes them and the joy and liberation they get from it.

What should more people know about your work?

My work helps you to let go of societal expectations for your whole self, your lived experience, and your body.

It helps you to find ways to liberate yourself from the bonds of patriarchy and colonialism and heal the harms that arise from their impacts on each of us, reintegrating all parts of your whole self.
It helps you to reconnect with your sensual, animal body and reclaim your sacred erotic self as this is foundational to living an embodied, liberated, creative life—and is a direct action against the powers that be who want you to stay numb, inactive, disassociated, and complicit in their crimes against humanity.
Erotic work is liberatory work, sexuality is sacred, and these practices are spiritual.

My intuition, pattern recognition, and systems design.

I’ve been trying to quit them for years, but V8 Energy drinks.

As a writer, poet, queer nonmonogamous and sensually erotic being, Anais Nin is probably my ultimate sensual inspiration.

I relate to her and her work so much and she has inspired a lot of my own work and creative writings over the years.

I use she/her and vae/vaer/vaem pronouns.
