San Francisco, CA – World-renowned sexuality educator and author, Midori, signed with Ikigai Marketing to handle marketing and brand building.

“Building a team with a focus on compassionate education, ethical practice and effective teamwork is of utmost importance to me,” said Midori. “I’m excited to have Ikigai Marketing working with me to further the mission of Fire Horse Productions to bring greater joy and personal growth to the world.”

“It is a distinct honor to have the opportunity to work with someone as iconic as Midori,” said Kristel Penn. “I have great respect for how she’s changed the educational landscape of kink and made it not only accessible but inclusive to people from all walks of life. She’s living proof that it’s possible to teach others how to tie passion, skill, and heart together in a way that honors each of our individual journeys.”

Known as the “super nova of kink” according to Dan Savage, Midori emerged from the Sex Positive movement in San Francisco in the early 1990s and soon became one of the most highly regarded presenters on sexuality, personal fulfillment, and kinky adventures.

Her reputation as an authority and leading expert on alternative pleasures stem not only from her unique and entertaining process of teaching concrete skills, but in her ability to deconstruct and distill complex matters of desire into surprisingly accessible lessons with eloquence and humanity.

She’s known for tackling challenging topics with fresh and relevant insights. She calls this her “head-heart-hands” method to create a space where people are allowed individual self-exploration. Fundamentally, she is motivated by helping people to create authentic and intimate relationships while emphasizing self-actualization, shame reduction, acceptance, and justice.

Known for her ability to teach with equal parts expertise and heart, her intensives and pop-up classes are often booked months in advance. She is best known for her transformative small-group educational intensives, Rope Dojo and ForteFemme: Women’s Dominance Weekend Intensive.

She is the author of The Seductive Art of Japanese Bondage, Wild Side Sex, and Master Han’s Daughter. She has also contributed her expertise and voice in numerous articles, columns, works of fiction, and instructional books.

When she’s not traveling and teaching, she’s creating provocative and haunting art and performances. For more information about Midori, visit her official website at https://www.fhp-inc.com. Follow her on Twitter and Instagram at @PlanetMidori.
