Nadia Sharif

 

Nadia Sharif is the original creator of Twisted Movement, which actually began as a movement intensive, but has since grown into the wearable art you see today. Edgy, bold and versatile pieces - all made by hand in Los Angeles.

 

Future visions for Twisted Movement include being an example of a socialist business structure designed to destroy the patriarchy, racism and the current status quo. May we rise up and revolt against the system that keeps us imprisoned with every step we take. ✊🏾

NovaCaine

 

NovaCaine is a disabled veteran who has used her 15 years of professional erotic dance experience to help sooth chronic hip pain. Early on after her injury she found a soothing way to apply erotic hip movements to her physcial therapy, that helped target problem areas of pain. Ever since then she has been obsessed with erotic healing and how to teach others this kind of practice. Nadia and Nova recently decided to collaborate and create together to bring you workshops by Nova, Sage bundles, candles and other ways to cultivate the senses and eroticism.
