Kasia is a trailblazer in the world of self-suspension Shibari, known for her dynamic, expressive style.
First introduced to ropes in 2011 as a model, she began tying and self-suspending in 2012. She has 14+ years of experience as a rigger, performer, and rope educator.
Her journey includes collaborations with practitioners such as Kinoko Hajime, Saki Kamijoo, Fred RX, WykdDave, Garth Knight, and Esinem. Kasia’s multidisciplinary background—aerial dance, theatre, pyrotechnics, yoga, and sports therapy—deeply informs her approach to rope, emphasizing anatomy, movement, and emotional storytelling.
She has performed at major international events including Torture Garden (London, Tokyo, Berlin, Rome), Edinburgh Fringe, Rope Spirit Prague, German Fetish Ball, Wasteland, and more. Her self-suspension shows have captivated audiences across Europe, Japan, and beyond.
Kasia’s workshops are known for their empowering energy, technical depth, and creative freedom.
Kasia holds a Diploma in Sports Therapy and is a current student of BSc Sports Rehabilitation at Queen Margaret University, and Psychology at the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI).
She is a certified Yoga Teacher and Self-Suspension artist with over 15 years of experience. She combines her expertise with a passion for holistic wellness to support clients' physical health and recovery.
As a teacher and artist, Kasia deeply understands human body and psyche, and how these two influence each other. She believes that in order to heal body or mind, you need to look at the person holistically .
She invests herself fully into exploration on the subject of human body, mind, movement, emotions, and connections we have with one another, and with nature.
