As a life-long dancer, movement is one of the ways I feel the most at home in my own body. For a series of years in my 20s, I disconnected from dance completely and found myself moving through the world angry and afraid. Eventually, alongside therapy, I began taking yoga and dance classes to reconnect to myself, quickly realizing that movement - free and liberated movement - was not only the medicine I needed to come home to myself, but a mode of healing I wanted to facilitate for others.

In 2018, I completed my 200-hour RYT certification with The Craft of Teaching Yoga, led by Adrienne and Eric Rabena. This training brought richness and connection to a more soulful way of life, and jump-started my desire to blend yoga and intuitive dance.

In 2023, I trained with Hayley Shannon at Embody Soul, completing the Dance Healing Facilitator Training program. This mode of healing utilizes somatic practices and movement to facilitate emotional expression through the arts, with a compassionate guide to reflect one’s experience.

In 2025, I received my Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner certificate. This three-year trauma healing training, developed by the life’s work of Dr. Peter Levine, is my primary modality for 1:1 trauma and embodiment work.
