Natalie Rose
Portland, Oregon rope educator and lifestyle coach who offers private lessons and the Bondage Soup cohort program and describes a platonic approach to rope.
Natalie Rose is a rope educator in Portland, Oregon. The home page of the personal site presents the work under the labels Lifestyle Coach and Kink Educator, with sessions that are platonic and rooted in trust. The site says the approach centers consent, connection, body awareness and skill-building, cites more than ten years of experience, and offers progressive learning, private lessons and tying sessions in a discreet space in Portland.
Teaching
The Shibari Study Podcast show notes for episode 41 describe a practice centered on platonic kink, with rope suspension a special interest, and say private tuition is offered in Portland. The site’s Work with Me page sets out two paths: a New to Intermediate track and an Intermediate to Advanced Plus track. The first covers foundational ties, rope handling and tension, and communication between partners. The second adds training for speed and consistency, refining structure and line direction, and building scenes from start to finish. The page also says private tying sessions are becoming more limited and that focus is moving toward education, private lessons and Bondage Soup.
ROpenSpace and Bondage Soup
The site presents ROpenSpace as a class space inside a residential community, open to people of all backgrounds, and as the home of Bondage Soup, a twelve-month progressive program for pairs that runs from January to December. A second program, Test Kitchen, is listed as a six-month course running February to July. The team page names further instructors connected with the ROpenSpace classes and the Bondage Soup cohort, including a graduate of the program who also teaches in it.
