The Healing Dominatrix: Power, Play, and Transformation | Amsterdomme | TEDxDonauinselSalon

Watch the TEDx Talk and join the conversation on how we can heal through kink and BDSM.

In this provocative and deeply personal talk, Amsterdomme explores how BDSM, when practiced with care, consent, and intention, becomes a powerful tool for healing trauma, reclaiming autonomy, and rewriting the body’s story. Through the lens of the Dominatrix, we discover how power play can unlock profound emotional transformation and radical self-acceptance. Amsterdomme is a kink coach and fetish educator with a bold brand dedicated to guiding individuals and communities into the depths of BDSM with confidence, curiosity, and empowerment. Blending social justice with sensuality, Amsterdomme transforms kink education into an art of healing, personal growth, and radical self-discovery. Through immersive coaching, provocative workshops, and unapologetic storytelling, Amsterdomme ignites desire, fosters deep connections, and helps people reclaim their pleasure as a path to liberation. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Welcome, Darling

  • Evolve your kink

    You didn’t end up here by accident. You came seeking something—curiosity, courage, maybe even a key to a part of yourself you’ve kept hidden. You’ve found the right Goddess.

    This TEDx talk isn’t just about BDSM—it’s about transformation, embodiment, and radical self-love. I stood on that red dot wearing a leather flag, intricate shibari, latex and leather heels, and hoop earrings catching the light. Every detail spoke before I ever opened my mouth. And then, I told the world: BDSM is a healing modality.

  • What is sexy?

    Power, vulnerability, expression, and healing—that's the true heart of kink.

    As a Dominatrix and a sex and intimacy coach, I guide individuals and couples through intimate journeys into the shadow—into the parts of themselves they’ve hidden, repressed, or feared. I use BDSM to help people name their shame, step into their desires, and reclaim their power.

    This talk is my call to remove BDSM from the dungeon of misunderstanding and elevate it to the penthouse of emotional and sensual wellness. Because kink, when done with consent and intention, is not just fun—it’s transformative.
