PRESENTER BIO

Miss Chris is a switchy demi-poly edge player, Professional Disciplinarian, certified life coach, webmaster, toymaker, and internationally respected BDSM educator whose career has stitched together scholarship, spectacle, and subculture with rare finesse. In February 2009, she founded the Sun Valley Spankos, now known as Spank University, a pioneering organization that fused the educational rigor of the BDSM community with the spirited social culture of the spanking world. Since then, she has presented and taught across the globe, including appearances in Italy, Canada, Ireland, and Spain, earning a reputation for equal parts intellect, authority, and theatrical sparkle.

Beyond the dungeon doors, Miss Chris has brought fetish education into mainstream and academic spaces alike. Her workshops and lectures have appeared at events ranging from Darkcon to the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT), as well as Mensa conferences, where she explored the psychology, sociology, and therapeutic dimensions of consensual power exchange. Before the pandemic, she also appeared on the television program The Doctors, helping introduce broader audiences to conversations surrounding “spank therapy” and BDSM-informed wellness practices. Throughout her career, she has remained committed to advancing the public understanding of consensual kink and contributing thoughtfully to the evolving science of BDSM.

Her contributions to the professional lifestyle have been recognized repeatedly, including being named DomCon’s Special Guest of Honor three times, a distinction reserved for figures who have left lasting fingerprints on the industry. In May 2026, she was inducted into the Dominatrix Hall of Fame. Closer to home, Miss Chris is a graduate of Butchmann’s Academy and currently serves as a board member of the Arizona Power Exchange in Phoenix, where her influence continues to ripple through the spanko and BDSM community like the crack of a perfectly aimed paddle: sharp, memorable, and impossible to ignore.

CLASS NAMES & DESCRIPTIONS

  • Domestic Style Discipline Spankings, forced bedtime, mouth soaping, lists, and contracts galore! Welcome to the world of Domestic Style Discipline! Whether it's a role play you want to explore, or a relationship paradigm you wish to create, this presentation will span the infinite possibilities. We'll chat about all the different ways to punish domestically (think spankings, enemas, line writing, early bedtimes and forced chores), but we'll also talk about DD based relationships, where the Dominant (Head of Household) and submissive (taken in hand) partners have rules and protocols to follow for self growth, to create a harmonious home, and/or to move the relationship forward in a positive way. Different teachings and methods will be used for illustration (i.e. Learning Domestic Discipline, the Spencer Spanking Plan, Christian based Domestic Discipline, or the Disciplinary Wives Club). Finally, a step by step process will be presented that anyone can follow to add Domestic Discipline into their lives and play. Come find out how versatile and important the D in BDSM truly is!

  • Domming from a Distance, Serving from Afar Control. It's what drives us kinksters, what elates us, what terrifies us. It's hard and fast currency for us fetishists. The intricate dance of giving and taking this precious commodity is what our scenes and lifestyles are made up of. But what if that control isn't local or within easy reach? How can you take control, ensure control, enforce control over distance? This presentation is a control freaks SOP for utilizing the current technology to bring more control into your D/s relationship, near or far. "There are apps for that!" will be your new mantra after this interactive class on Domming from a Distance, and Serving from Afar.

  • Spanking: Mild to Wild! The most intimate of touches, the most searing of sensations, it can be fiery hot or icy cold, humiliating at the same time nurturing, inducing of guilt while forgiving it. Spanking is the most versatile, the most culturally ingrained, the most socially acceptable form of kink under the BDSM umbrella. Often thought of as a “gateway kink” or even as entry-level, nothing could be further from the truth. This class will blow the socks off of anyone who still thinks of spanking as just “a childhood punishment”. Professional spanker Miss Chris will introduce and demonstrate a whole range of possibilities all having to do with the multifaceted spank. From mild, a dreamy percussive whole body spanking, to WILD, a bloodletting vampire glove spanking, and all the delicious variations that fall in between.

  • Female Led Domestic Discipline Relationships (FLDDR) Welcome to the world of Female Led Domestic Discipline! Where the Dominant Women of the Household make and enforce habits and routines, and the submissive side of the slash accepts instruction at the threat of punishment. From historical power exchange examples to contracts, and domestic punishments to the power of positive reward, this presentation will address the wide variety of possibilities within the household or familial unit. The D in BDSM is “Discipline”. Let Miss Chris take you on a journey through one of the oldest forms of D/s!

  • Role Playing: Actualizing Your Wildest Fantasies Have you ever wanted to play out your wildest SM fantasies, but didn’t know quite where to start? Come join Miss Chris as she presents “Role Playing: Actualizing Your Wildest SM Fantasies”. Learn basic to advanced tips and techniques on how to leverage attire, speech, body language, props, and the five senses to evoke different scene stages. Learn how to assume a character, improvise, create a backstory, and to suspend reality for a scene. Role Play examples will be presented throughout the class, and an interactive exercise at the end allows everyone to get their hands dirty with a basic role play you can play with and eventually incorporate into your own bag of tricks!

  • Pontifical Perversions: Catholic Style Discipline Does the idea of repenting to a Higher Power get your juices going? Do you find religion and ritual intoxicatingly sexy? Sin and guilt, Heaven and Hell, and mortification of the flesh are powerful concepts that can affect intense headspaces. From the abject obedience to one God, to priest as Father and nun as Mother, the potential for powerful D/s is native and innate. We'll touch on history, vestments and accoutrements, important sacraments and rituals, implements and dialogue. To one who grew up Catholic, whether they are still practicing or not, Catholic Role Plays hold the promise of dark intensity, soul motivating contrition, and the ritual and procedure from powerful archaic rites. Come join Sister Christine Marie as she explores,"In the name of the Daddy, the Boy and the kinky Spirit. Ahhh-men." (Content warnings are extensive in this class, for consenting adults only).

  • Academic Style Discipline You've seen it many times at dungeons and parties...the naughty schoolgirl bent over for the strap or cane. School scenes are hugely popular in both the spanking scene as well as the BDSM scene. The D in BDSM stands for Discipline, and this class focuses on the academic type. From the history of CP in various regions, to the nuts and bolts of constructing your own school discipline scene, Miss Chris will take you through a thorough examination of discipline techniques more commonly seen in school settings. A presentation and demo will be included.

  • The Art of Bratting Whether you love Brats or not, they are certainly here to stay! Come visit with Bratty Top Miss Chris as she discusses the Bratterverse, what constitutes consent in it, bratty communication techniques, who Brat Tamers are and what's the difference between a Brat and a SAM. Brat culture, rewards and punishments, along with the somewhat radical notion that Bratting might just be a mild form of Consensual Non Consent will all be addressed. Brats, Tamers and the Bratcurious are all welcome! 

  • Victorian Style Discipline: Proper in Public, Perverted in Private Most everyone has heard of the repressed, highly moralistic, prim and proper ways they did things back in Victorian England. But do you think they were all that way? Hell no! Come join Miss Chris as she discusses how kinky and perverted those Victorians really were! This class will go through a brief history and accounting of the prevailing attitudes of the day. Historic roles and expectations, attire, implements and punishments will be discussed next. And finally we’ll get to laugh at the language and wording those pervy Vics used to talk about the things they weren’t supposed to talk about. Wear your Victorian, Edwardian or Steampunk best, if you have it, and expect to feel a new kinky kinship with your forefathers after this workshop!

  • Introduction to the Spanking Scene Welcome to the incredible world of spanking, domestic discipline and corporal punishment! This isn't just an activity for us, the spanking scene is a community all onto its own. We'll talk about the activities that comprise spanking play, of course, but we will also talk about our culture, our history, some issues facing the community and where things might be headed next. Basic spanking event/party etiquette will be touched on so you know that spanking parties are a different breed of BDSM event, with considerations of our own. All are welcome to join in the spanko fun!

  • Corporal Funishment Judicial canings, Roman scourgings, public whippings, forced labor and torture. For those of us who share a fetish for Corporal Punishment just the mention of some of these terms is enough to get the heart pounding with kinky excitement! One doesn't have to be the toughest or meanest SOB to participate in CP scenes, in fact with just a few tips and tricks anyone can craft a CP scene. Just think, all the wonderful dark sadistic energy, and none of the messy maiming and death! History gives us so much in the way of fodder for our CP scene fantasies, so we'll start the discussions there. Implements, role play characters and attire are critical to authenticity, so we'll be talking about those in depth next. You will learn to create or tap into pivotal headspace elements, like fear, dread, guilt, and control to ratchet up scene intensity. Walk away with a step-by-step procedure on how to put together a full CP scene, including forgiveness/acceptance and scene closure. A final demonstration of a judicial style caning will be performed. This is Corporal FUNishment at its' best, don't miss out!

  • Age Play 101: Littles & Middles to Grandmas & Grandpas While you wouldn’t think a 30 year old "girl" coloring in a child’s coloring book while dressed as an eight year old to be particularly provocative, it’s amazing the different misconceptions that people even right here in the BDSM community have about Age Play. The overly simple definition of Age Play is that it is a type of role playing that involves either age REgression or age PROgression – assuming a persona younger or older than oneself. There are a few different categories within Age Play, including Littles Play, Elder Play and AB/DL Play (Adult Baby & Diaper Lover) but fundamentally we are talking about the simple act of not acting ones age. Miss Chris presents from both a little’s perspective (9 yr old cappy) as well as a MommyDommy perspective (Big Momma) on the wonderful, empowering and nurturing aspects of Age Play.

  • "Come on Barbie, let's go party!" Dollification 101 Welcome to the fantastic world of Dolls and their Makers, where objectification meets role play, and pure fantasy becomes real. Learn about the many types of Dolls, their motivations, and how they express their kink through the creative vision of their Makers. We'll be looking at the very unique D/s dynamics possible, how art plays a valuable role, the connection between Dollification and Bimbofication (?) and finally we'll discuss how to incorporate consent into a sometimes voiceless scene.

  • Discipline & Punishment for Age Players As Bigs, it's our job (and what a pleasant job it is!!) to guide, help establish boundaries, nurture, protect and enforce the rules. But treating a little the same as an adult when they've done something wrong is a recipe for disaster! Come to this specialized age play class and learn the some sure fire ways to get your point across, without damaging the fragile littles mindset.

  • Canin’ Abel: Biblical in Proportions As an avid caner, Miss Chris will show you that a simple cane is one of your most versatile BDSM implements, and a must have for anyone’s toy bag. Did you know you can use a cane to create a full body rhythmic staccato that lulls someone deep into subspace? Of course, we’re all more familiar with the repudiated knife-like sensation as a full stroke burns into ones backside, but did you also know you can use canes to stimulate a clit, torture a breast, and spank an asshole? Clearly, that kind of versatility is “biblical in proportions”! For the workshop portion bring your own short (no longer than 24 in.) canes (or cut a switch), to participate in the hands on practice section. Cap will be coming around to help folks both verbally in instruction, and physically by providing an arm or butt to help you experience a cane (Note: it’s not as scary as you may think!) Finally, there will be a demonstration at the end that will highlight some of the ways to incorporate canes in your own repertoire: from a dreamy, whole body percussive caning that will have your bottom flying, all the way up to the traditionally severe, a British “6 of the Best”! A PowerPoint presentation and hand outs will be provided in this all encompassing class on the lovely, and versatile, CANE!

  • Strips, Straps & Strops Whoosh! CRACK! Very satisfying when it hits flesh. It’s typically made from one of our communities favorite materials, LEATHER. It’s a favored implement of motivation, punishment, and one of the original “pervertables”. The strap is one of the most versatile, but underutilized impact play toys in our world. You’ve seen many of them being sold, and you most likely have one in your toy bag. The humble strap isn’t as flashy or feared as other major implements of punishment and discipline; however prisoners in Arkansas in the early 60’s might disagree. In the first part of this class, you will be introduced to all the major kinds of strips, straps and strops in use today, with a wee bit of corporal punishment history attached. A how-to section comes next, with a few demos, and some tips and tricks on how to aim and throw a strap. Finally, bring your own straps and partners to practice on during the hands on portion (demo straps will be available if you don’t have your own, and solo audience members may choose to be paired up for practice). A PowerPoint presentation, and links to the best strap purveyors in the world will be available for download after the class.

  • Spanking: From Soup to Nuts The most intimate of touches, the most searing of sensations, it can be fiery hot or icy cold, humiliating at the same time nurturing, inducing of guilt while forgiving it. Spanking is the most versatile, the most culturally ingrained, the most socially acceptable form of kink under the BDSM umbrella. Often thought of as a “gateway kink” or even as entry-level, nothing could be further from the truth. Deeper and deeper we’ll go, past a love of the smacked bottom and the basic techniques on how to get it that gorgeous shade, further on to the culture and history of the Spanking Scene. Learn how Spankos are different from Fetishists or Kinksters, and how spanking parties differ from BDSM cons. Being aware of the differences will help you navigate future spanking events, communicate in “Spankish”, and play in one of the fastest growing communities in the US. All are welcome, and encouraged to attend. Come get your fill of spanking at Spanking: From Soup to Nuts!

  • The Science BEHIND Spanking Imagine if you could flip a switch and start to surf those archaic hormones of our shared anthropology to relieve symptoms of anxiety, depression, mood swings and lack of focus? Well, you can! Combine some evolutionary science with pain gate theory, and what do you get; the formula for subspace! As seen on The Doctors TV show, Professional Spanker, Miss Chris, discusses what ‘Spank Therapy’ is and how you can benefit from harnessing the body’s power to de-stress with a kinky twist! *not a replacement for actual psychotherapy, Miss Chris is not a doctor or counselor.

  • Age Play 202: Going Beyond This class is for active participants, the curious, and even the slightly disinclined. Miss Chris busts myths and misconceptions about age play, what it is and what it very much isn't. All the types of age players will be discussed, from the ABDL's (adult baby diaper lover), to the littles and middles, all the way up to the Elders. From the non sexual age regressors to the sexualized "dark" role age players (trigger warning). All the controversy, stigma, and intolerance that others bring into this wonderfully nurturing and empowering play will be touched on. Littles always get a chance to play and comment if desired up front while the class is going on. Come and join us for this slightly deeper look into age play.
