Starting out as a Dominatrix – First Month at Atrium Berlin

Are you curious to take a look behind the scenes of professional domination – perhaps as a guest, or are you considering becoming a dominatrix yourself? If you're looking for more than just clichés, I'd be happy to tell you about my start as a dominatrix at the Atrium Berlin, my first sessions and the art of sensual leadership.
On my first day at the Atrium, I was quite nervous – and I reassured myself that I didn't have any guests scheduled for that day. It took less than 15 minutes for my first session to begin. A spontaneous guest whose desires – impact, CBT and electro – matched my preferences exactly. A stroke of luck. I quickly asked my colleague to explain the Erostim, reapplied my lipstick, and then my first professional session began. The chemistry was immediate. We had a lot of fun, and I will always remember this guest. It was a start that made it clear to me: I am now truly a ProDomme.

Before taking this step, I spent months intensively considering whether professional dominance was right for me. In a workshop, I received feedback that initially irritated me: I come across as cool, intimidating, distant. Characteristics that I have never particularly identified with myself. However, I was advised to consciously use precisely this charisma as a stylistic device. In practice, it quickly became apparent that my dominance has a different quality. Less harshness for the sake of harshness, more calmness, sensuality and presence. A dominance that arises from attentiveness – and from control that does not have to be loud.
An important part of my arrival was the team. The exchange with experienced colleagues, the mutual support, the joint reflection on sessions and ideas – all of this has shaped my development. I find the group sessions in the specials particularly enriching: they not only deepen the interaction, but also sharpen the eye for dynamics and leadership.
My understanding of dominance has changed significantly during this time. Behind images of severity, punishment or aloofness lies one thing above all else: responsibility. Leading, being present, perceiving. A good session thrives on observation – of body tension, breathing, facial expressions. Of all the subtle signals that show when someone is ready to truly surrender.
What guests can expect from me is a conscious interplay. Sensuality, the joy of teasing, of slowly challenging. I enjoy it when a guest confides in me, when I take control and he makes himself – perhaps a little – ridiculous for me. A little sadism, the joy of pain, alternating with gentleness and closeness. I demand, but I don't overburden. I maintain the framework in which surrender can feel safe.
Often underestimated is the emotional depth of many sessions. Fantasies not only bring pleasure, but sometimes also shame or insecurity. The preliminary discussion is therefore a central part of my work. Formulating wishes clearly, setting boundaries and agreeing on expectations requires courage – and it is precisely this courage that I encounter in many of my guests.
Even today, I still sometimes feel nervous before a session. A small transformation begins every time in the changing room. And as soon as I enter the room, I am completely there – attentive, focused, present.
