About Me
I am a trauma-sensitive E-RYT 200 and have been drawn to movement modalities for the greater part of my life. Coming from a background in dance, I am passionate about honoring the body as a source of innate wisdom and exploring movement practices that foster greater sustainability and freedom. I completed my trauma-sensitive 200-hour training with Soulwork and the Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy Certificate program through The Embody Lab.
I value the practice of asana as a way of coming back home to the body, directing attention, and carving out space to slow down. I hope to support students in realigning with themselves on every layer and in nurturing greater ease and capacity for how they navigate life. I weave trauma-sensitive principles and the ongoing discoveries of my dance and movement practice into my classes. My teaching offers an invitation into curiosity, compassion, and a generosity toward oneself.
Books and writing are often a source of deep inspiration, particularly Women Who Run with the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, The Body is Not an Apology by Sonya Renee Taylor, and Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good by adrienne maree brown. I enjoy weaving themes from the books I read into my offerings.
I love connecting with nature, and spending time outside is a daily ritual. Nature is my therapy, my God, my teacher, my playground, my home. We could not exist in these bodies without the earth, and I am so grateful to be alive in this precious human form.
I am a woman.
A daughter, sister, friend, lover, student, teacher.
I am my ancestors' remains.
I am from rolling green fields and grass tickling my bare feet.
A sunrise lover, sky gazer, adventure seeker, big-time foodie, and book enthusiast.
I seek to engage in curiosity and to hold complexity.
To love more freely.
To allow the full spectrum of emotions as my body experiences and responds to life.
I am so much more than these words.
I am stumbling, evolving, growing.
I am learning and unlearning every day.
