Here’s a preemptive TL;DR: I’m launching my new website today! http://www.marablake.com 

Now here are a bunch of words about it.

(1/17)

Six months ago, I spent my time touring, meeting new people, having dinners out, and exploring new places. I enjoyed it a lot, and when it became clear that COVID-19 was here to stay, I was scared. I knew my lifestyle and work would have to change.

And I’m so glad they did. I’ve spent the past six months honing my wellness practices, focusing on personal growth, investing in long-term virtual relationships with patrons, and, of course, hanging out with you Tweethearts!

I’m feeling stronger, more confident, and more at home in my own skin than I ever have before. I’m also feeling really grateful for the stability and privilege that have allowed me to use my time this way.

In addition to learning more about myself during this time, I’ve also learned a lot more about my practice as a sex worker. I’ve always wanted the relationships I build with my patrons to be meaningful, depthful, and important, but it hasn’t always been clear how.

(5/17)

Thanks to the patrons who joined me in long-term virtual relationships, as well as a few powerful in-person meetings, I now have the theory behind the practice: soothe, heal, empower.

(6/17)

Soothe – This is where we begin. Soothing is full of lightness, laughter, and sensuality. It’s here to get your basic needs met, and to do so with a flourish. This is an ideal stage for many of my patrons, and it may be as far in the process as they want to go.

(7/17)

For those of you who share my interest in consciousness, this is the stage in which we indulge the ego - the story of who you are, and a vital part of your internal family that’s here to keep you safe and get your needs met.

(8/17)

Heal – This is where we deepen. We already know who you are in a day-to-day sense, but why are you who you are? What drives you? What parts of you need to be challenged, and what parts need a hug? What are the emotional and social patterns that make you, well, you?

(9/17)

Answering these questions can be a heavy process, but a beautiful one. It can lead to enhanced self-knowledge and increased closeness between us. And it’s the beginning of mindfulness: stepping back from your ego and observing your story as it unfolds.

(10/17)

Empower – This is where we integrate. Now that we know the patterns that make you who you are, we take a nice long look at the experience of being you. Where can that experience be improved? What would you like to grow, strengthen, or change?

(11/17)

Through conversations, adventures, and projects, we welcome every opportunity to put new behavioral patterns in place. Over time, we build our emotional and spiritual muscles until the new patterns become reflexive and habitual. This is the process of self-actualization.

(12/17)

For most relationships, this is a multi-year process that ebbs and flows. For some, it happens in a few months. Our relationship will always be filled with love, laughter, and sensuality. But with time and dedication, we can grow in healthier and more connective ways.

(13/17)

As I developed this system, one thing was clear: my old website wasn't an accurate representation of who I am or what I offer. So I created a new one filled with playfulness, ethics, relationship theory, and plenty of new photos. I’m really excited for you all to see it!

(14/17)

My new website is only the beginning. In a few weeks, I’ll launch my OnlyFans page. It’ll have sexy pics, sensual dance videos, storytelling sessions, cosplay shoots, relational philosophy, and sometimes just me making funny faces. Stay tuned for updates about it.

(15/17)

And I want to acknowledge everyone who's supporting me on this journey. Those of you who see me in person, those of you who follow me here, those of you with whom I’m building long-term relationships, and those of you who cheer me on from the sidelines.

(16/17)

You bring me new ideas, allow me to practice my skills, and give me feedback when things don’t feel good. Thank you for creating this with me. Your support and encouragement mean the world.
