I grew up a technical ballet dancer. Having the label of “dancer” has been my most precious identity. What I hadn’t experienced yet was the healing power of dance. Through discovering authentic movement experiences like Ecstatic Dance, 5Rhythms, and Tamalpa, I moved myself through grief, health issues, and heartbreak. I was no longer performing; I was speaking a new language and expressing myself in a way I had never known. I soon found there are academic degrees in this work. I enrolled in my second Master's degree to become a Dance/Movement Therapist. After a year and a half, I left the Somatic Psychotherapy program at Naropa University because the educational environment didn’t align with my values. During the first year, I did my practicum in Equine (Horse) Facilitated Psychotherapy with survivors of sexual trauma. This inspired my work to offer non-sexual sensuality as a healing modality. 

There are many ways to use dance and movement as medicine: group dance like Ecstatic or my workshop Love & Rhythm, Partner Dancing/Contact Improv, or Sensual Self Love: dancing in a room by yourself, exploring non-sexual sensuality, releasing pain, and celebrating Love.
