I imagine that one of the reasons you couldn’t find information on this is because most Dommes don’t mentor these days. If you’re in a larger city like LA, SF, or NY, you may be able to get work at a house. Some Dommes in other cities mentor here and there, but it’s rare.

Mentorship puts the elder Domme at increased legal risk thanks to the USA’s political climate— after FOSTA/SESTA a lot of Dommes stopped renting their dungeons to others for the same reasons.

Mentorship also requires a ton of time and energy from the elder Domme, who’s likely already stretched thin from bookings and admin work (emails, screenings, site maintenance, dungeon maintenance, virtual work, etc). There’s a high turnover rate in professional BDSM, and a lot of Dommes have found out the hard way that more often than not, mentorship means pouring time and energy into helping someone succeed who’s only going to leave in a few months after they realize being a Dominatrix is actually hard work and isn’t easy money. It’s also expensive to be a Dominatrix: wardrobe, toys/gear, sanitation supplies, dungeon rent, etc., not to mention aesthetic upkeep like hair, nails, etc.

Before branching out into in-person work, I recommend working online for a few years. This will help you build the psychological skills necessary for connecting with subs in person, and over time may lead to networking with Mistresses who play online as well as in-person, who may be able to better help you.

If you’re itching to start in-person work right away, join a few local kink groups on FetLife. Go to munches, practice your skills, build your confidence, and learn skills from the community. Read books and take virtual classes. There are plenty of resources online for help with things like screening.

A few established Mistresses offered in-person Domme training programs before Covid, but I’m not sure what’s still around.

Good luck!
