Panelist Bio

DemonaKatatonica (they/them) is a non-binary leather educator, Master, and longtime professional Dominant with over twenty years of experience in both lifestyle and professional kink. Mentored in a femme-led traditional leather household, their work blends legacy practices with modern, trauma-informed approaches to power, consent, and care.

As co-founder of XII House, DemonaKatatonica focuses on creating grounded, inclusive spaces where queer, trans, and neurodivergent people can explore authority, communication, and embodiment in ways that honor their identities and needs. Their teaching emphasizes clear consent systems, adaptive communication (including non-verbal tools), and intentional relationship design—particularly for those navigating trauma, dysphoria, or neurodivergence.

DemonaKatatonica’s educational style balances structure with curiosity, inviting participants to examine how power, identity, and nervous-system awareness intersect. Their classes center practical skills, self-knowledge, and community responsibility, offering tools that support both personal growth and healthier relational dynamics inside and outside of kink.
