Erik was the first person to introduce me to Shibari and has been such a good person to learn and grow artistically with. I would recommend Erik a thousand times over as a rigger, especially if you don’t have much experience in ropes, or are still learning how to communicate boundaries/consent. I really enjoy tying with somebody like Erik who is trauma informed, and really takes the time to make sure you are feeling comfortable in their space."

My rope experiences with Erik were overwhelmingly positive. Erik was very conscientious and I felt thoroughly respected and taken care of, I always felt safe. Erik abided within my comfort levels for all ties and touches, and I enjoyed my time in our sessions, and I felt satisfied with the resulting pictures. It was a fun and novel experience that I look back fondly on. Thanks for the memories!

Hi Erik, I just wanted to say thank you for hosting (rope workshop) yesterday. I had such a wonderful experience. I'm only recently exploring intimacy and with that, the interests/intrigues i've always held..
I'm also not much of a group activity person, but the container you cultivated between the language used, intention communicated, environmental set-up, community welcome, and your instruction, really helped to zone me. all this made for an EXCELLENT first experience and provided much somatic regulation and embodied participation. Thank you.

Erik provided a safe space, with lots of open communication and made sure I was comfortable before coming into the space. They checked with me throughout the whole session. Making it a wonderful and positive experience.
