Anna Lysee is a dynamic force in the fields of embodiment, sexuality, and community-based education. Since 2016, she has been the lead organiser of EURIX (European Rigger and Model Exchange)—one of the most respected gatherings for rope enthusiasts and professionals in Europe. In 2022, she took on a key organisational role in xplore Berlin, a renowned festival exploring the edges of body, art, and sexuality. That same year, she contributed to the Institut für Körperforschung und sexuelle Kultur (IKSK), and in 2024, she became involved in shaping the innovative Death Festival Berlin.
Anna’s professional foundation lies in education and psychology. A state-certified children and youth educator since 2013, she has gathered extensive practical experience — particularly in residential care — with a focus on working on, with, and within family-like structures in educational institutions. In recent years, she has deepened her academic insights by studying psychology at Humboldt-Universität Berlin. Since 2022, she has also completed professional training in Integrative Trauma Therapy and Couples and Sex Therapy, offering her clients nuanced, body-informed approaches to healing and connection.
In the world of Shibari, Anna is both a seasoned model and rigger with experience dating back to 2014. She has co-taught since 2015 and began teaching her own classes in 2018. Her approach goes beyond technique: she invites participants to explore the interpersonal, intrapersonal, and creative dimensions of rope (and kink) — making space for curiosity, depth, and real connection. She also offers individual rope sessions, tailored to the needs and desires of each person.
As a coach, Anna offers one-on-one sessions focused on personal growth, integration of trauma, and the holistic unification of body, mind, and sexuality. Whether supporting someone through a life transition or holding space for deeper emotional work, her presence is grounded, empathetic, and transformative.
Anna Lysee brings a rare blend of warmth, professionalism, and embodied wisdom. Whether on stage, in a workshop environment, or in an intimate session, she creates spaces where transformation is not only possible—but inevitable.
