Kink & Rope First Aid

Disclaimer hybrid class: This class will be in person as well as virtual. No participant who is attending in person will be recorded without their explicit consent.

This class covers first aid fundamentals for the most common situations kinksters might encounter, as well as worst-case scenarios.
We will also discuss specific information and considerations for professionals doing paid session work with clients.

What we will cover

• legalities
• basic anatomy (circulation, oxygen, sugar, nerves, etc) and conditions that can affect these (bleeding/clotting disorders, asthma, diabetes, etc)
• fluid safety (brief discussion of blood and body fluid stuff)
• planning, prevention, preparation!
• common minor injuries (aftercare for scrapes, bumps, sprains, bruises, and infection prevention)
• more serious injuries/conditions (fainting/falling injuries, head and neck injuries, life threats)
• when to involve emergency services, and how to handle that conversation
• medical questions worth asking of clients/people not well known to you
• whatever else comes up

This will be a hybrid class: live and in-house at Studio Allegory, Vancouver and virtual via Karada House.

The tickets you purchase here are for the In-House class
