About Rosie Bitts

Impresario, Chanteuse,
Burlesque Diva, Tantrica, Sexologist

I have the very great joy of living my passion and dreams every day! I am a multi-award-winning performer, producer, author, educator, sex activist, certified Tantrica, and Sexologist.

I am a certified Authentic Tantra® Practitioner and we practice the 5 Element teachings from the Shangpa Kagyu Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. Authentic Tantra® is the only Tantric School in the world that is government accredited. We work by a code of ethics and our practices are Trauma-Informed. I love integrating these beautiful ancient practices with newer teachings on things like Attachment or Polyvagal Theory, in a trauma-informed space.

As one of the pioneers who brought the art form of Burlesque to Vancouver Island, I am now known as the Mama or Matriarch of Burlesque on Vancouver Island. I’ve had the pleasure of teaching this beautiful art form to hundreds of women over the last 13 years and have been performing in this genre for over 15 years.

I have been blessed to perform all over N. America and did a U.S. and Canadian tour of my last solo show “Stories of Love and Passion” with a special invitation to debut in Canada at the UNO Festival and to make my NYC debut as part of the United Solo Theatre Festival.

I have been nominated and won awards for my Solo Shows “The Fabulous Miss Rosie Bitts” and “Stories of Love and Passion”. Over the last number of years, I’ve been delighted to be performing with my band The Dirty Boys. Prior to the world of Covid we thrilled audiences with our regular old school burlesque and live music show “Rosie’s Bitts of Tease Cabaret”

I feel incredibly honoured that people choose to come to me to be entertained, to learn vulnerable and heart-felt practices, to open up their creativity, and to connect to themselves and others on a deep and intimate level. 

Two of my greatest joys are being a mother and creating community. I feel like my children are gifts. Every day I am grateful they are in my life as the divine teachers they are and that I get to call two of the finest humans I know family.

I am also in constant awe of my community. I have certainly put a lot of work into it over the years but have been repaid 10 fold ( at least!!). Again, I am grateful every day to be surrounded by people who inspire me, amaze me, and simply take my breath away with their levels of courage, creativity, and vulnerability, and that I get to call these people friends and family.

I guess the most important thing you should know about me is that I’m grateful. I’m happy to be alive and excited to share this beautiful life and these beautiful practices with you ♥

I am based out of the Lekwungen Territory otherwise known as Victoria, BC, Canada.
