UK – Scotland – A TOP dominatrix has doubled up her work in the dungeon with a desk role as a master motivator.
Andrea Keaney, who is known in the adult industry as Megara Furie, has revealed she‘s using the people skills learned from her racy role to inspire a new type of clientele as a life coach.
The 37-year-old, who has worked in BDSM for the last 12 years, has previously shared her strangest requests, including putting flowers up a customer’s backside and being asked to force-feed a client a live praying mantis.
But despite a serious stigma surrounding such a job, the geology graduate reckons her unique CV makes her the perfect person for people trying to change their lives.
Andrea, from Bishopbriggs, told The Scottish Sun: “I’d already been doing hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and then I came across coaching and it was just by accident.
“And when I started to learn the process of coaching and in particular transformational coaching, I realised it was really aligned with a lot of the stuff I was already doing.
“For example one of the barriers to people being able to express themselves is limiting beliefs and that shows up everywhere – and it shows up in sessions as a dominatrix.
“People are too shy to say what they want, too scared to express themselves and be vulnerable because they have all these beliefs about themselves, about what I will think of them and what that means for them.
“And what I realised is that it doesn’t just happen in the dungeon, it happens everywhere.
“One of the things I really enjoy about being a dominatrix is being able to help people to be their true self in that setting and now I get to do that for people in every setting of their life which is really cool.
“I get to do everything I was doing in the dungeon – well not everything – but I get to do the mindset work I was doing in the dungeon and now I’ve got a lot more clarity and focus and it’s a lot more intentional the way that I’m doing it.”
Andrea, who became NLP qualified in 2019, started working as a dominatrix in 2008 and admits people were surprised at her sudden career shift when she started her second job last year and set up her business Dominant Mindset Coaching.

But she insists the occupation she’s famous for isn’t as seedy as people think and that it’s actually the perfect platform for her new profession and passion.
She says: “For the untrained eye you would look at it and go ‘oh it’s seedy, it’s just people going in and getting spanked and getting their kicks.’
“But actually there’s a lot more to it than that, a lot of discussion that takes place before, during and after a session.
“People book sessions because they maybe want the physical or mental side of it but really the main thing that they get from it – and if you’re a good dominatrix you’ll know this – they’re looking for validation, looking for a safe space where they can just let some of their guard down and be fully themselves.
“Being able to do that is what gives them a spring in their step when they leave.
“And being able to give them that is the rewarding part for me.”
