Described by Playboy as “equal parts Betty Grable and ‘90s Ani DiFranco,” Mistress Couple is a Sexual Empowerment Coach known for class, professionalism, and a forward thinking mindset. In addition to Playboy, she has been interviewed as an authority in the field by Cosmopolitan, VICE, People Magazine, The Daily Beast, Huffington Post, and countless other media outlets. Couple is best known for her psychological approach to intimacy and alternative relationship models- specifically BDSM and power dynamics. She comes to the field with a diverse background and draws from the skill-sets that she has accumulated through her education in psychology, time as a competitive ballroom dancer and instructor, and through serving as the Head-Mistress of a world-renowned BDSM training center, to provide a well-rounded perspective.
In November 2018, Mistress Couple released her first book- The Ultimate Guide to Bondage: Creating Intimacy Through the Art of Restraint. The book has been lauded by the Long Island Institute of Sex Therapy as a text that could “easily be used in an academic course” and as a “comprehensive [guide] for those personally and professionally interested in bondage.” Couple’s progressive approach is clearly on display in the book, which utilizes supporting evidence from developmental, trauma and attachment therapies to convey the importance of bondage as a tool for self-exploration, healing, and intimacy.
Mistress Couple’s interest in normalizing modalities of connection that have been obscured, ridiculed, or simply misunderstood is unceasing. She welcomes individuals, couples, and even polycules in her practice. Above all else, Mistress Couple values providing space to build trust so that clients feel comfortable with sharing insight into their relationships and receiving feedback. Her ultimate goal is to help empower people to create the relationships they crave.
