Lightworkers are healers who transmute darkness into light. They are those who walk among us who make you feel better, just from being in their presence. Can a Dominatrix really be a Lightworker? Yes - if she is playing consciously, in service to the well-being of her submissives. If a Domme can see and accept her subs for all of who they are, if she can meet them in their darkness and celebrate it with them, she can transmute pain into ecstacy, shame into acceptance, fear into love. This is the role and mission of The Evolutionary Dominatrix™.
BDSM is an artform, healing modality and energy exchange relationship that is widely misunderstood and misrepresented in the media as abusive, comical or sick. People judge or ridicule that which they do not understand. Representations of kink for the purpose of entertainment don't do justice to the beauty and totality of this unique connection, based on trust and mutual respect.
In this podcast, Mistress Damiana Chi, Ph.D., provides a glimpse into the real world of BDSM, kink and erotic domination and the intricacies of the lives of people who live in it. These are usually intelligent people with a high level of self-awareness and psychological health. They are professionals, parents, artists, technicians...people you know and talk to on a daily basis. Here, they will have open and honest conversations about why BDSM is such a big part of their lives and how they benefit from this unique lifestyle.
Mistress Damiana is a professional and lifestyle dominatrix who has held a full-time practice for over 2 decades at her elegantly-appointed BDSM studio in Los Angeles, the Chi Temple. She holds a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, a Masters degree in counseling psychology, and a Bachelors degree in behavioral sciences. She is also a certified sexologist, specializing in kink-centered life coaching.
Mistress Damiana is the founder The Evolutionary Dominatrix™ Academy, in which she personally mentors pro and lifestyle Dommes, in all parts of the world online, in the art of Conscious Female Domination with her self-developed psychologically-based methodology. The marriage of her psychological background and passion for the BDSM arts and D/s dynamics gave birth to her evolutionary teachings, taking FemDom to a new level of excellence, connection and joy.
Mistress Damiana is also the creator of Conscious Kink Community – a private social network that is exclusive to personally-vetted members only who are a right fit for this special community. These are kinksters who share a like-minded consciousness about being respectful and supportive of one another, in a safe container where we can share and connect about anything kink related.

The following is the recording of a Conscious Kink Q&A Zoom Call that I hosted for my Patreon community. I’m sharing it to this podcast to educate, and raise awareness and understanding about Conscious Kink, Conscious BDSM and Conscious FemDom.
I had planned to host these calls once a month, but I took many months off to write my book, The Dominatrix Archetypes: Become a Multidimensional Dominatrix in the Art of BDSM FemDom. Now that the book has been launched, I will be going back to a more regular schedule. If you are interested in participating on these calls, you are welcome to join my Patreon community.
There were so many great questions on this call, like these:
What’s the best first step to get into the professional FemDom Industry? Can you tell me more about working in a dungeon?
How many years has it taken for a sub to become your full time slave, and have you terminated any of those relationships because it wasn’t working anymore?
How does one enter the world of FemDom and find partners that are safe and knowledgeable?
Can you give some examples of how BDSM can be healing for Dommes and for subs?
Why do you think some people who were raised in highly religious households are drawn to kink?
My partner wants me to choke him during sex. Choking seems to be a form of breath play. My hesitancy is safety. What do you suggest?
It is an honor to provide education to my Patreon community and to share it with the wider kink community and the public. It is so important to share this information to dispel misunderstandings and misrepresentations of what true BDSM is. BDSM is about love, trust, acceptance, openness, sharing, and intimacy. Anything else that feels self-serving, harmful, or negative is not true BDSM. Please share this information with anyone who is interested so we can spread knowledge and understanding about this beautiful artform and deep level of connection.
This podcast is fully supported by my Patreon members - your patronage is so appreciated. As a member of my Patreon community, you will be able to connect with me in fun ways. Become a member by going to patreon.com/damianachiphd.
