Their approach to teaching is an eclectic mix and knowledge of various Japanese rope bondage styles. This informs their own unique style of facilitating to deliver their insights into the deeper meanings behind the practices of Shibari/Kinbaku.
Teaching the 'why' we do what we do to consider safety and technical engineering. She believes in a 360 degree learning experience, workshopping ideas, focussing on model led teaching, and embodies the somatic aspects to rope bondage.
Jess is a registered, trauma trained psychotherapist using an integrative approach with the modality of DMT (dance movement therapy).
Juliette
PRM Instructor
Barefoot Juliette is an international Shibari artist and instructor based in Naarm, Australia, who has trained extensively with various Japanese and Australian Shibari teachers since 2020. She is fascinated by the many unique ways Shibari connects people through the medium of rope, in a manner that explores, transcends and challenges our pre-existing notions of what it means to relate with another human being.
Juliette’s love for consensual sadomasochism and energetic communication through rope always tinged with a touch of the Wild Feminine - shines through in her performances and teachings.
Juliette loves sharing her passions and knowledge with others and brings over a decade of education and group facilitation experience to Peer Rope Melbourne.
