About Eve Minax

Eve Minax is a lifestyle professional Domina and BDSM educator who began exploring power in childhood when she led a group of young girls as superheroes. Her subsequent studies in literature and performance have transformed her natural propensities into complex BDSM interplay for many years. As a performer and queer BDSM activist presently based in Chicago, Illinois, Ms. Minax became serious about her BDSM explorations in France, continued them in Australia, and has traveled and played extensively in order to develop them further.

Ms. Minax is also a lecturer, panelist, and workshop leader. In Chicago, she teaches at women sex shops like Early to Bed and Tulip. She is a featured speaker on panels for The Boston Fetish Flea, Women In the Director’s Chair, The University of Illinois, Northwestern University and serves as the Erotic Dominance Specialist for the Art Institute of Chicago. A community member, she offers demonstrations and workshops for Shibaricon, TNGC, CLAW, and the LRA. She currently acts as the Midwest Coordinator for the Roadshow Committee with the Leather Archives and Museum and is the Producer for CineKink Chicago. Ms. Minax actively supports The NCSF and Woodhull Foundation.

Mistress Minax interest in D/S manifests itself through creating and maintaining numerous Domme/sub relationships in Chicago and San Francisco. A ritualist and piercing aficionado, Ms. Minax has participated in Ms. Dubois' piercing workshops and Cléo and Fakir's "Spirit + Flesh" body-based shamanic seminars. She is a 2003 graduate of Fakir’s Professional Piercing Intensive.

Her affiliation with Cléo Dubois Academy of SM Arts began from a deep-seated affinity with Madame Dubois' work, subsequently exposing her to Ms. Sybil Holiday. After attending the first Intensive, she found within herself a glorious mixture of Cléo's joyful and intense S/M play, and Sybil's thorough and focused D/S style. Consequently in Feb. 2004 Ms. Minax enthusiastically joined the Academy as an instructor bringing her own seriously playful repertoire to the work.

And I am so glad that She did, since our styles complement each other so well!
