I've had to make some decisions lately regarding the plausibility of continuing my Australian BDSM tours while my body recovers from burnout and deals with the new limitations that peri-menopause has sprung on me. Long story short, I have always been very time poor and have enjoyed touring Australia and the UK extensively and packing a weeks worth of kink, wrestling and submissive sessions into 3 days. The extra costs I have never really worried about as I figure its all been extra work to that I would not get if I stayed home in Sydney. However, in Nov/ December 2025 I basically found my limit. I toured all of Australia back to back -- (Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra and Melbourne) meaning I didn't fly home and decompress in between. I was also incredibly busy at my incall here in Sydney. Aside from being a Dominatrix and Disciplinarian, which are relatively low energy, a lot of my niche sessions are me as switch, me as corporal punishment submissive and me as session wrestler. As there are little to no other Domme's touring offering those service, and me being exceptional and super into them (I jest!) I overdid it which led to me suffering burnout (google it). Add on to that the trials and tribulations of entering peri-menopause which has caused me to suffer with extreme brain fog, requiring time off work, and you have one very exhausted Mistress! This job requires intense creativity and being able to control another human being for long periods of time is psychically exhausting an impossible when you are not on your game. I've had 5 months of extensive testing trying to prove to the medical industry that I am worthy of giving HRT, and have spent upwards of $3k in testing and doctors appointments to be told there is nothing wrong with me. I know what you're thinking -- you are only 25. How can you be in peri-menopause? Well, you are right. If God is punishing me for my indiscretions then I guess it's not much of a sacrifice when you put it in perspective....

What I've learned:
I need to cut back on session wrestling sessions that are very physical.
I need to take less bookings when I'm touring, and say no to sessions when I've filled my quota.
I need to charge full price for interstate bookings to keep my expenses down and allow me to take less sessions.
No advertising on directories like Scarlet Blue and Locanto. I'm focusing on my website (this one) and ensuring my SEO is up to scratch to help the right clients find me.
I need to focus more time on my sydney clientele/ slaves/ submissives/ sloppy bottoms as the flying and travelling component of touring is physically taxing while being at home rejuvenates me.
I can only take heavy submissive jobs as my last booking of any tour--ie only one per tour will be available.
I am not taking on new clients unless their approach is perfect and their interests directly align with mine.

The Short: I'm no longer offer my discounted sessions while on tour so rates are $400/ hour (CP only), $500/ hour (erotic CP ie hand relief), $600/ hour for BDSM and $800/ hour for switch or me as submissive/ spankee. This allows me to recoup my travel expenses (Perth is upwards of $1300 so I would work a full day sometimes just to cover that). I'm no longer organising open tours to Perth, but will be offering FMTY for $1200 + 2 hours session fee.

Almost every new client that finds me though SEO/ google becomes a regular as my service and genuine. I need to preserve that energy for the genuine sessions that are mutually pleasurable and build life long bonds. I am privileged to have more work than I can handle, and this is the first time in my life that I feel like I can take my foot off the pedal. I am 8 weeks healed from burnout, and with suppliments and rest I feel like I'm getting the peri-menopause under control.
