Welcome to the Taboo Temple

Your initiation to truth.

I am Mistress Mahara, a therapist turned dominatrix.

Begin your initiation
The Taboo Temple
A space of reverence for your taboo truths and desires.

A place for the parts of us that get judged and shamed. Taboo is the want that makes you wonder if something is wrong with you. Nothing is.

From Therapist to Dominatrix

A woman who refuses to be domesticated.

For five years I was a licensed therapist. Trauma, sexual health, perinatal care, couples. I left in 2024. The healing I wanted to do would not fit in a fifty minute session.

In 2025 I found this path through Sacred Theater Somatics. Now I blend BDSM and somatic work. Shame and old wounds move out of the body. Expression becomes liberation.

Serving men is serving women. What you do here does not stay here. It goes home with you. Into how you lead, how you listen, how you love.

  • Trauma-Informed CBT
  • Gottman Couples L1 & L2
  • EMDR
  • Perinatal Mental Health
  • Sacred Theater Somatics
  • Dark Force Training

My training informs this work. It is not therapy. No clinical relationship is formed here, and it does not replace care from a licensed provider.

In Their Words

What Comes Out of People Here

I wasn't expecting so much healing. Can't believe what came out of me. Putting the body in a situation of being tied up and smacked around gets the mind thinking outside the box, allowing for discovery that otherwise would be hard to pull out.

Session client

I don't often feel like I can be myself with others, especially with women. With you, I feel accepted, like I can be myself, because I can feel how non-judgmental you are.

Session client

She's so loving and nurturing. And also fantastic at holding frame. So that as the client, I could soften, play, and have space to be messy.

The Threshold

Begin Your Initiation

A threshold into your desire, your shadow, your power. This is you choosing to be seen, stretched, and led.

I read every inquiry myself. Nothing leaves my hands. Tell me what brought you here and what you want to move. If it is a fit, we book a call from there.
