Jacqueline Violet is a leading Kink & Aftercare Educator with specialized expertise in Risk Aware Consensual Kink (RACK). With over a decade in sex-positive education, she has developed trauma-informed methodologies specifically for temperature play and power dynamics, helping thousands transform apprehension into confident exploration.
Jacqueline's passion for wax play education was ignited during her work at Newark's Masakhane Center, where she witnessed how proper guidance could transform intimidating practices into profound connections. After seeing too many preventable injuries from improper technique, she developed her temperature play curriculum to bridge the gap between clinical safety knowledge and pleasurable application. This experience fuels her commitment to creating psychological safety in every learning environment.
Jacqueline's approach uniquely translates complex neurobiological impacts of heat play into accessible, practical guidance. She creates judgment-free learning experiences that balance scientific rigor with genuine warmth, ensuring students understand not just the how, but the why behind each technique. Her body-mapping methodology empowers beginners to explore with confidence.
Course FAQ
Absolutely! Jacqueline designed this course specifically with beginners in mind. You'll start with the most approachable wax types (like soy) and build foundational safety skills before progressing to more advanced techniques. No prior experience with wax play or BDSM is required—just bring your curiosity and willingness to explore.
You'll need some basic supplies to get started, but nothing extravagant. Jacqueline recommends specific beginner-friendly candles and safety items that are readily available online or in specialty shops. The course includes a practical resource guide with options at different price points, so you can begin exploring without a significant investment.
While wax play is often practiced with a partner, you can absolutely take this course solo to prepare for future play. Many students learn the techniques first on their own to build confidence before introducing them to a partner. Jacqueline also provides specific guidance on how to introduce wax play conversations with potential partners in a comfortable, non-pressuring way.
After completing the safety fundamentals module (about 15 minutes of learning), you'll have the essential knowledge needed for your first basic exploration. Most couples report feeling confident enough for initial gentle experiences after their first practice session. As you progress through the drip techniques and body mapping sections, you'll continue adding dimensions to your play over a few weeks.
Wax play creates a unique combination of visual artistry, sensory stimulation, and power dynamics that few other practices offer. Jacqueline's approach is distinctive in treating wax as both a temperature play element and an aesthetic experience—the temporary nature of the wax patterns creates a mindful, present-moment intimacy that many couples find particularly bonding. You're not just learning techniques; you're discovering a whole new language of sensual communication.
Your safety is Jacqueline's top priority throughout this course. You'll learn precise temperature testing techniques and exactly which wax types provide pleasurable sensation without dangerous heat levels. The body mapping module specifically identifies areas that are more sensitive and should be approached with extra care. When practiced with the safety protocols taught in this course, wax play can be as safe as many other intimate activities.
Beyond the obvious sensory pleasure, wax play creates opportunities for deeper trust, vulnerability, and communication between partners. Jacqueline guides you through establishing consent practices and feedback systems that many students report have benefited their relationship communication outside the bedroom. The power exchange elements can also create space for exploring new dynamics that revitalize long-term relationships.
