Meet The Team
Reese
I started Pleasured Play just over three years ago with a simple mission: to create more in-person educational opportunities and safe spaces for the Phoenix community to learn about kink without the pressure to hook up. When I became open about my own kink journey, I quickly realized how few options existed for people who were simply curious—who wanted to explore, connect, and grow in a supportive environment.
To deepen my understanding, I took a second job at Peaches, an adult store in downtown Phoenix. That’s where I met my partner, Ko. Ko had been practicing and teaching Shibari for years, and our shared love of kink sparked an immediate connection. Together, we created our first Shibari 101 Workshop, which has since grown into a wide variety of offerings: group classes, private sessions, suspension and Kinbaku experiences, and community events.
My personal approach to rope is grounded in connection—physical, mental, and emotional. Rope is simply the medium I use to help people slow down, breathe through challenging moments, and find new ways to feel seen and accepted. I’m passionate about holding space for vulnerability, teaching safe practices, and guiding you toward deeper self-discovery through this art form.
Whether you’re brand new to kink or ready to take your skills further, I’m here to help you explore with curiosity, courage, and compassion.

With nearly a decade of experience as a Shibari rigger and rope top, my practice blends technical precision with intuitive presence.
I offer sessions that range from one-on-one explorations of embodiment and surrender to couple-focused work that nurtures intimacy, trust, and communication. Rooted in somatic awareness and ritual, I approach rope as a language of connection—where each session becomes a ceremony of breath, sensation, and emotional depth.
Whether the focus is sensual, therapeutic, or relational, my work is grounded in attunement, care, and a deep respect for the body’s wisdom.

My obsession with shibari runs deep, fueled by raw connection, unshakeable trust, and being fully present. Rope isn’t just a tool to me; it’s a fierce language of its own. With every knot and twist, I dive into the depths of intimacy, vulnerability, and the seductive dance of restraint. My practice is a slow burn—deliberate, instinctive, and all about the shared experience, not some flashy show. Each session ignites my curiosity, wrapped in profound respect, as I strive to craft spaces that are not just safe, but utterly transformative.

With nearly seven years of rope experience from bottoming, to self tying, and rigging others, my journey with rope has lead me through many roles.
I offer private sessions that focus on the basics and safety with a perspective that has all participants and roles in rope in mind - with a focus on empowerment, safety, playfulness, and connection.
My sessions can range from beginner courses for those who have never touched rope, to more intensive series that can work up to learning suspension in a safe, structured environment.
Whether learning solo or with a partner, I’m excited to share my passion for Shibari and kinbaku with the community.
