Our Administrative Team
Sassy (she/her)
Managing Director
Sassy (sassy_masochist) entered the alternative lifestyle community in 2015, and quickly discovered a love for both topping and bottoming. She was primarily drawn to self expression and connection through tying and over the years, has had the opportunity to learn many different styles from around the world and is always eager for new education. Coming from a professional background in teaching, Sassy became an educator in the community early in her expressive practice. In her time in the community, she has taught and performed for many organizations and events, including Dark Odyssey, Tethered Together, EURIX, TES, Shibari VA, Bound in Boston, Exxxotica Expo, and more! You can regularly find her teaching at conventions and in local communities up and down the East Coast.
In 2023, Sassy co-founded SMart Boston Collab and now organizes and teaches hands-on alternative lifestyle classes and events in the Boston area. In her curriculum, Sassy primarily focuses on building skills for self expression, partnered connection, and creating beautiful human art. Her classes often aim to destigmatize alternative forms of expression and connection, and help practitioners make adjustments in their play to accommodate their body’s specific needs. Always looking to improve her skills and develop her own style, Sassy considers herself a lifelong student and is eager to keep teaching, learning, and collaborating with her community in the future.
