Authority and Tenderness are Not Opposites.
About Domina Saige
My training spans two worlds that rarely meet: the clinical and the sacred. As a Master of Social Work with specialization in trauma and mental health, I bring rigorous, evidence-informed lens to intimate human experience. As a BDSM-certified guide trained through The Tantra Institute, I bring earned knowledge of power, surrender, and the erotic as a path to wholeness.

What is intimacy coaching?
Intimacy coaching is a guided, educational process for exploring your relationship with desire, connection, and the erotic — with yourself and with others. It is not therapy, and it is not a sexual service. It is a space to ask questions you haven't been able to ask elsewhere, to understand your needs and patterns more clearly, and to move toward the intimacy you actually want. Sessions may include conversation, reflection exercises, somatic awareness practices, and guided exploration of what you want to change or deepen.
What is sacred kink guidance, and how is it different from BDSM play?
Sacred kink guidance is educational, relational, and exploratory — it is not a play session or a scene. We may talk about power dynamics, dominance and submission, sensation, ritual, and the erotic — but the work happens through conversation, reflection, and sometimes guided somatic practices. I bring both clinical training and formal kink certification to this work, which means I can hold the psychological complexity of what you're exploring while also speaking the language of the kink world fluently. Sacred kink guidance is for people who want to understand their desires more deeply, build skills and knowledge, process experiences, or prepare for kink relationships and dynamics in an informed, intentional way.
Is This Space For You?
This work was built for people who have spent too long looking for a space that could hold all of them at once — their desires and their wounds, their curiosity and their complexity, their hunger for something they may not yet have words for.
You are welcome here if you are:
Navigating desire, kink, or power dynamics and want guidance that is informed, intentional, and free of judgment.
New to this territory or deeply experienced within it.
Carrying shame around your sexuality, your body, or what you want — and ready, even tentatively, to set it down.
Healing from something that happened in an intimate or sexual context.
Exploring your gender, your orientation, or your relationship to power and surrender.
In a partnership — traditional, non-monogamous, kinky, or otherwise — and seeking support for what lives between you.
Someone who has tried therapy and found it couldn't go where you needed to go.
You are welcome here regardless of your gender identity, sexual orientation, relationship structure, or the specific nature of your desires. This is an explicitly affirming space for LGBTQ+ and queer individuals, trans and non-binary people, those in ethically non-monogamous or polyamorous relationships, and practitioners of all consensual kink dynamics — from the vanilla-curious to the deeply experienced.
There is no hierarchy of desire here. No dynamic that needs defending. No identity that requires explanation before we can begin.
The only requirement is that you arrive with some willingness — to be honest, to be curious, and to be met.
A note on kink and power dynamics
I work with the full spectrum of consensual kink — dominance and submission, bondage, impact, sensation, service, devotion, humiliation, and beyond. If your practice is niche, edge-play adjacent, or rarely discussed in polite company, you will not spend our time together justifying it. We begin from the assumption that what you do consensually and with care is valid — and move from there into whatever you actually need.
Working with couples and partners
Couples and partnered pairs are welcome. Whether you are looking to deepen an existing dynamic, explore kink or power exchange together for the first time, navigate a shift in your relational structure, or simply create a held space for a conversation you haven't been able to have alone — there is room for that work here. Sessions with couples are available in-person in Boise and virtually. Reach out to discuss the right format for where you are.
