How would you describe yourself in 3 words?

Sensual. Hypnotic. Playful.

Tell us more about yourself and what you do…

I’m Katarsis, a dominatrix, shibari artist, and erotic educator.

I treat the body like a gallery: lines, breath, light, and shadow. Rope is my calligraphy; posture and pace are my choreography.

I guide people to explore desire with precision and care—whether that looks like meditative stillness in rope, a fiercely held power exchange, or a performance that blurs art and arousal.

I love rendering someone beautiful even in intensity—holding them so precisely that pain tilts into poise and the scene becomes living sculpture. Everything I do is rooted in consent, clarity, and exquisite attention, with deliberate negotiation and devoted aftercare.

What services do you provide on Sensuali?

Shibari sessions — erotic or non-erotic; floor work and suspensions when appropriate.
Shibari classes — foundations, safety, and creative flow for duo or small groups.
BDSM sessions — tailored scenes focused on sensation, power dynamic, and exploration.
Tantric massage — breath, presence, and slow touch to restore beauty from the inside out.
Performances — shibari, domination, and lap dance for curated events, art-driven pieces designed to be felt and remembered.

What turns you on?

Beauty in devotion and the courage to be curious. When someone softens into trust and lets creativity lead; when a body organizes itself around a rope and becomes pure line. Breath turns into a metronome, a difficult posture grows luminous, and the image says everything words can’t. That precise moment—where surrender meets elegance—undoes me every time.

What was your journey into this world?

I first stepped in through Paris’s swinger scene—curious, though it wasn’t quite my flavor.

Everything shifted when I met Maylis Castet, a dominatrix who became my mentor. She taught me how to be playful and commanding at the same time, and how to think visually—composing sessions so the body becomes an image, a mood, a moment of beauty.

From there I moved into the sex-positive community, where I finally felt at home: consent-centered, embodied, and creative. It’s also where I met my life partner, David Marius; together we explore kink, study ropes and deepening our skills.

He also introduced me to erotic hypnosis, a niche discipline in which he’s a known figure. That lineage—mentorship, community, partnership—shaped my practice: art-driven, consent-led, and devoted to turning sensation into living sculpture.

What do the first 60 minutes of your day look like?

Meditation, a few sun salutations, then a swim in the sea. Salt water resets me, I love starting the day rinsed clean, mind fresh, body awake.

What is an unexpected pleasure you discovered in your work?

Knife play. I adore sculpting tension: the whisper of steel, the shiver of fear meeting trust.

Perhaps not so unexpected, I was a dental surgeon in a former life, so I’ve always had an intimate relationship with sharp tools, steady hands, and calm intensity.

Why do you do what you do?

Because desire deserves beauty… and honesty. I’m endlessly curious about how people love, what opens them, and the stories their bodies carry.

My work is to make space for sexploration: to witness, to guide, and to craft clear, consent-led containers where people can meet themselves with delight and courage.

I’m here to co-create experiences where you’re held, seen, and sometimes made into art. When we compose a scene with care, even ferocity becomes graceful. That alchemy keeps me devoted.

What should more people know about your work?

Shibari isn’t synonymous with sexuality; it can be a deeply meditative, self-centred practice—a way to drop inward and listen to yourself again.

I compose each scene to your needs, from devotional stillness to unapologetically intense or performative play.

Kink can be playful, ceremonial, tender, or fierce; all of it is welcome when it’s consensual and conscious.

Consent, presence, safety, and aftercare—always. I treat rope as composition as much as sensation, so the result is beauty you can feel, not just see.

What’s your superpower?

Sculpting bodies into a living piece of art and making people cry with bliss in my ropes.

We love vices. What’s yours?

Sunrise naked swims. Dark chocolate. Collecting beautiful ropes. Predicaments that make you choose.

Who are your sensual inspirations?

Nature, sun, waves, wind, water, rock. Also mythic women and huntress energy.

Closing thoughts?

Come as you are—curious, enthusiast, excited. We’ll map your desires, set clear boundaries, and then play inside them with reverence and mischief. Consent is sexy. Aftercare is sacred. The rest is your adventure.

Discover the breadth of your pleasure. Browse and book a sensual experience in Ibiza.
