I’m Jaclyn Proper: a Jungian coach, shadow guide, and mystic. I’m also queer, neurodivergent and a former professional dominatrix. My work bridges Jungian psychology, archetypal embodiment, erotic imagination, and mysticism to guide unconventional leaders, practitioners, and creatives into deeper self-leadership and erotic authenticity.

I share this work with others because I've lived it.

Early life sexual trauma left me carrying more than I knew how to hold, and by my teens and twenties it showed up as addiction, dissociation, and self-destruction. In my thirties, I tried to outrun the pain by doing everything “the right way.” I built a career, masked and performed success while quietly burning out.

I entered the world of pro domination seeking control and escape, but what I found was something far greater. Through roleplay, ritual, and dark erotic archetypes, I witnessed firsthand how trauma & unconscious programming can be transformed. I learned kink is an embodied form of shadow work: a method that could unlock healing, integration, and power.

Shortly after, I had a Kundalini awakening tore my reality open! It was my first initiation (of many) as a Priestess and underworld guide. As a result, I immersed myself in the studies of Jungian depth psychology, somatic practices, mysticism, energy work, and death/grief work, weaving them into a framework that honored both psyche and eros.

My practice continues to evolve because I do. I teach from lived experience and continuous study. The throughline of my life and work is the same: illuminating the shadow, reclaiming the erotic, and guiding others into unapologetic authenticity.
