Individual Coaching for Rope Bottoms 

with Natasha NawaTaNeko

My coaching is designed to help you rediscover your natural embodied wisdom by creating an empowering space where you can trust your body’s cues and deepen your connection to yourself.

The focus lies in exploring your physical sensations and emotional responses through practices that are conscious, safe, and intentional—allowing your rope experiences to become more grounded, fulfilling, and transformative.

What we can learn from rope bottoming

Generally speaking, I don’t believe a formal education is necessary to enjoy ropes. From birth, we all carry the natural capacity to sense what is happening, to enjoy what feels good, and to refuse what doesn’t. We intuitively send out non-verbal communication cues, and our partners naturally pick them up. In an ideal world, bottoming workshops would not be needed.

But in reality, many of us have lost touch with this natural ability. Growing up, we learned to override our body’s wisdom—to comply and tolerate, to suppress our emotions, to control, to resist the flow. Many of us carry memories of trauma in our bodies.

My work—whether in group settings or private coaching sessions—is about creating a space where your body’s wisdom is valued and heard. A space where you are supported in unlearning what no longer serves you, and in reconnecting with what does. I place the body at the foundation of rope bottoming: by deepening awareness and cultivating trust in yourself, your rope experience can become more conscious, internal, and safe.

Natasha NawaTaNeko

Natasha NawaTaNeko is a Russian-born, Berlin-based rope bottom, performer, and educator — and the female part of Discover Kinbaku. In her practice, she seeks true emotion and authenticity, viewing rope bondage as a deeply intimate and erotic art with profound potential for personal transformation.

Drawing on her background in Sexological Bodywork, more than a decade of rope bottoming experience, and studies in bodywork and movement, Natasha integrates somatic elements such as breath, sound, posture, non-verbal communication, and focused attention into her teaching.

My offer for rope bottoms

Whether you want to refine your rope bottoming skills, navigate challenges in rope relationships and communication, or simply need a safe space to reflect, I offer personalized coaching to support your journey. I guide you in listening to your body, moving beyond old habits and learned behaviors, and bringing more awareness to your rope experiences—making them safer, more fulfilling, and more attuned to your own desires.

My approach is non-dogmatic: it’s not about doing things “right,” but about discovering what works best for you to achieve your goals. When helpful, we use somatic exercises with breath, movement, sound, and focused attention to bring you deeper into your body, enhancing awareness of what’s happening inside.

Curious about working together? I invite you to book a free 30-minute introductory call. It’s an opportunity to connect, share what you’re seeking, and explore how I can support you on your path.

„Natasha NawaTaNeko has authored a beautiful book which takes a unique, holistic approach to self-education for rope bottoms. With a foreword by Red Sabbath, this small volume contains 12 questions intended to guide rope bottoms through an exploration of their feelings and desires. Something less than a map, but more than bare questions, this book offers a serious and well reasoned approach to topics every rope bottom is sure to encounter“ Kinbaku Today

„This is the first book on rope bottoming I’ve found that was just as useful to me as to the bottom. I heartily recommend riggers to read it too“ WykD Dave

„Natasha gave voice to an internal conversation – sometimes more conscious, sometimes less so – that many of us have had and are having. Until I read this wonderful book, I didn’t realise how important it is to verbalise, discuss and pass on these internal lessons“ Anna Noctuelle

„Somatics for Rope Bottoms would make a great addition to any rope top’s kinky educational arsenal. Just as there is much for rope bottoms to dive into and explore within its pages, Somatics offers a great deal for riggers to benefit from…“ Demasque Magazine, Issue 12

„Natasha Nawataneko is an accomplished Kinbaku model and Certified Sexologocal Bodyworker who does not give us easy answers or create a how-to manual. Instead she delves into the metaphysics of it all, and provides us with an enhanced vocabulary for us to understand this journey and find our own deeper meanings“ Darkside Magazine, Issue 32

„The book is a fellow companion for rope bottoms exploring what makes their experience meaningful, and the answer is often found in the body“ Andy Buru
