What moves me
Above all else, I move because of how it makes me feel.
Uplifted, whole, connected to others, present, physically vibrant, and like I’m able to express myself fully, with or without the need for words.
I wholeheartedly believe that dance and movement can be accessible to everybody, no matter their experience or circumstance. The ways that movement enhances my wellbeing and sense of connection are available to everyone.
I’ve experienced the joy of movement and dance myself, and I’ve sought to understand it through a psychological lens too. My work as a coach often draws on my experience as a movement facilitator and yoga teacher. I love to work holistically, tuning in to how our bodies move and feel to facilitate change, but ultimately, I’m always led by the people I’m working with and their individual needs.
