“I am passionate about movement, the body and the whole being. Along with knowledge, experience, goofiness and a playful caring heart I love to connect with people. To guide a movement experience that awakens deep truths about how we work and who we really are. Through movement, I teach and learn how to embrace, embody, engage and be present to living a life that thrives!”

Her souls’ unique gifts combined with years of study and experience bring a genuinely fun, energetically dynamic and engaging experience to those who desire to learn greater ease and better function in their body and being.
Her approach is one of partnership, where together we creatively explore the layers of our Spirit (intuitive/creativity), Soul (higher mind/psycho-spiritual) and Soma (body/bio-energetics) and how these layers energetically interface within the dance of inhabiting our deepest essential nature in the movement of our lives.
