Initially introduced to a small segment of the vast world of alternative lifestyles back in 1981, I was introduced more in depth, back n 1984. Like my parents before me, the many options to choose from to better myself and my relationships has kept me devoted to my alternative lifestyle choices ever since.

I consider myself to be a student. I’m proud to be a continuing, growing, and evolving seeker of education, knowledge, and experience who is also a respected coach, educator, presenter, and performance artiste. There’s no question that I am a Fetishist, Dominant, Sadist, Kinkster, Rope Artist, and Bondage Enthusiast. I am also honored to be the partner, as well as wife, slave, property, and wench only to ShamanAKADaddyJeff. Together, we Co-Head the House Of Shaman.

I’m most known as the Founder and Director of the Lifestyle Alternatives Artisans Centre, Guild, & Gallery in Palm Beach County, Florida. LAAC, formerly known as the Lifestyle Alternatives Centre of Palm Beach (LAC or LACPB) and an evolution of BDSM-Village (which I founded back in 1997), is a nonprofit educational and social membership organization with its own facility since 2004. LAAC has succeeded in meeting its mission to provide activities and events that supports healthy and beneficial education and resources for adult alternative lifestyles, including dynamic power exchanges, D/s, M/s, leather history, leather culture, SM, BDSM, bondage, fetishes, kinks, polyamory, fetish art, and fetish photography for kinksters.

LAAC is closing its operations and facility at the end of May 2012, after almost 8 years of being open. Although I will remain active in my alternative lifestyle choices and those communities that I support, I will be focusing more on my personal health, family time, and improving the well being of both.

My future efforts in adult alternative lifestyles will be geared to providing more personalized and quality education and resources through my blog, in addition to any live meetings, classes, seminars, workshops, events, and couples coaching sessions with me that will be available for scheduling. I hope that you find some value and benefit from my efforts.

I look forward to the questions and discussions on the Real Shades of Grey blog.
