Daddy Dom Skills: Foundations + Practice Lab

  • Casa Mimosa Near the intersection of Menchaca + William Cannon Austin TX (map)

Welcome to Daddy Dom Skills

After eight sold-out rounds, Daddy Dom Skills: Foundations has proven to be a powerful and essential initiation into the realms of BDSM.

In this experiential class + lab, you’ll practice embodying both your Dominant and submissive archetypes, and learn to work with the energies of containment and penetration as tools to create turn-on, depth and delicious surrender.

This offering now includes two ways to participate:

  1. Foundations Class 2-6pm — Learn the core principles through teaching, demonstrations, partnered exercises, and experiential practice.

  1. Practice Lab 7-10pm — An immersive evening of guided practice open to anyone who has previously attended Daddy Dom Skills: Foundations. We’ll begin with a mini-class on crafting compelling scenes + what makes things HOT before moving into multiple longer-form partnered practice scenes to deepen your confidence and skill.

New to Daddy Dom Skills? Join us for the Foundations Class with the option to stay for the Practice Lab.

Already taken the class? All previous cohorts are invited to join us for the Practice Lab.

More About the Foundations Class

You are invited to step into your hot AF Dominant power aaaand to soften into your silky submissive surrender.

This class is the doorway in—the place to begin to build your skills, clarify your energy, and prepare for the deeper play that’s coming next. It’s beginner friendly, though we’ve also heard from more seasoned players that they’ve gotten a ton out of this class.


Wtf is containment?

  • Containment = down-regulation : firm, grounding, holding energy to melt your sub into a good lil kitten

  • Penetration = up-regulation : activating, enlivening, intense energy to ignite delicious sensation and turn-on


Honestly the benefit of learning these skills goes way beyond the context of BDSM.

Containment supports safety, intimacy, and trust—in friendships, loverships, and even your relationship with yourself. It creates the feeling of being well held and exquisitely attuned to.

Penetration is the spice and thrill of life—it delivers the excitement, adventure, pain, and delight that we all crave.

When these energies are well balanced, they evoke an exquisite symphony of sensations that just might have you on your knees… begging for more.


Who is this class for?

  • Anyone curious about stepping deeper into Dominant or submissive archetypes

  • New and experienced kink players wanting to refine their skills

  • People who crave more confidence, clarity, and creativity in power play

  • All genders and all sexual orientations welcome

  • Solo explorers or partners — come with a partner you’d like to practice with, or arrive solo and pair up with others in class

  • No prior experience necessary — just a willingness to explore, play, and open to the alchemy of Dominance and submission

  • Know that you are welcome to opt in or out at your level of comfort — you do you boo! Watching is an excellent form of participation 


More About the Practice Lab:

The new Practice Lab is an opportunity to continue refining your skills through scene-building, longer-form partnered practice, and live coaching.

Open to anyone who has completed Daddy Dom Skills: Foundations, it’s designed as a space to connect with community, deepen your confidence, receive feedback, and keep practicing the foundational skills.

The Practice Lab will include:

  • Scene Crafting mini class — building compelling BDSM scenes and learn how to make them truly HOT

  • Guided partner pairing (or come with your own partner)

  • 2-3 longer form practice scenes with the option of live coaching and support

  • Time to experiment, refine your dominance or sink into your submission

  • A closing integration circle

What to Wear

  • Dress in a way that helps you embody your Dominant or submissive energy and makes you feel hot AF

  • Think: leather, lingerie, suits, collars, corsets, chest harnesses, silky fabrics, kitty ears — anything that gets you into the vibe you’re excited to explore

  • Make sure you’re comfortable and can easily sit and move around to handle and be handled

  • Undress to your level of YES knowing that panties will stay on for the entire evening

  • Please arrive to the venue in street clothing ~ wear a layer you can easily remove upon arrival or feel free to change on-site



What to Bring

  • Your water bottle

  • A journal + pen for notes if you’re a verrrry good kitty

  • Optional (fun to have but not at all necessary): toys, props, or accessories that support your Dom + sub play (ex. floggers, sensation tools, leash, cuffs, rope, etc.)

  • We recommend eating a light lunch before class or dinner before the practice lab. You won’t want to be super hungry or too full. We will be serving snacks between the class and the lab.

  • This is a substance free space. We are working with the medicines of presence, pain, power and eros (which are HIGHLY potent). Please do not come under the influence of any substance

Meet the Facilitators

Facilitated by Julia Vieau

At heart, Julia is a devoted submissive—soft, open, and wired for surrender. But in recent years, she’s fallen in love with her inner Daddy Dom: cultivating a presence that’s refined, intentional, and delights in delicious authority.

As a trained Domme and experienced event producer, Julia creates immersive spaces for people to explore embodiment, sensuality, and the unfolding of the mystery. Her work is an invitation into deeper presence—where surrender is celebrated, and power is wielded with tenderness, precision, and attunement. Her desire is to create a culture where more people know how to hold each other with the depth that awakens trust, and to play with the clarity that makes life irresistibly juicy.

Co-facilitated by Kayla Rodriguez

Kayla is a kinky lil kitten and pain slut extraordinaire and she often has the cutie bruises to prove it. She has a gift for alchemizing pain into delight, and bringing curiosity, warmth, and unwavering presence into every scene she enters.

With years of lived experience in the kink world she embodies the trust, courage and wholehearted play that transforms BDSM from technique into art. Kayla is passionate about creating spaces where people feel safe to explore, take risks, and discover new edges of themselves.




What People are Saying

“Julia, thank you for initiating us into the art of containment and penetration. Experiencing and understanding those two dynamics in such a tangible way was revolutionary for me. I now recognize how past partners’ requests for “safety” or “connection” were actually calls for containment… something I didn’t fully grasp or know how to offer until now. Your training has deeply enriched my human experience and will undoubtedly ripple through all my future relationships. You are a true gift, and I’m excited for the next level of this training!”

— Matt C

“Girlll!! I’m feeling so alive for the first time in a long while. I’ve had no less than 5 people tell me I’m glowing today after last night’s class”

— Heather


“At first I was a little hesitant. Between the cost and not being sure what to expect, I was a bit nervous. But it was worth every penny. It truly pushed us outside of our comfort zone in the best way possible.

I feel like as a couple married now for nearly two decades, we sometimes fall into the trap of comfort. Last night you gave us a whole new menu while utilizing many of the same ingredients that we already love to cook with, if that makes sense.

We learned a lot looking around the room and seeing the confidence people have. Different bodies, different experiences, different desires, but they all somehow drop their guard and accept each other in a way that the world seems to have recently forgotten.

We plan on taking the rest of the sessions you offer in this series, and we’d love to explore other offerings as well. Seriously great job.”

— Nate
