After stepping into my first class at the age of three; dance, movement, and self expression have been a core part of who I am. Long before I learned about somatic release or fascia, I spent much of my time alone in my basement or bedroom dancing out my feelings. And as an undiagnosed ADHDer there were A LOT of feelings to be felt.

It wasn’t until I began healing from domestic violence that I put the pieces together… I was able to cope and persevere through as much as I did because of my little dance jams. My body was processing & expressing what my voice or mind couldn’t, and it unknowingly held me together while I successfully built a dance & fitness studio.

However that wasn’t the way dance always felt. Most of the time dance was a performative craft, done to appeal to an audience, judge, or director. Perfection of your physical body was a crucial element to this, and years of my life were spent in front of a mirror constantly criticizing the reflection looking back and building my worth on what others thought about me and my body.  Yet it's not all a sad story, I actually find it quite beautiful how the thing that taught me to pick myself apart was actually the tool that allowed me to find strength & trust in myself. 

Now I’m on a mission to teach those same skills but without shame and judgement, giving you all of the benefits without the unnecessary unhealthy parts. After all, moving our bodies can be hard enough sometimes, and I’m here to help make it as enjoyable as possible!
