Your body contains profound wisdom. It is continuously healing.
Each cell, tissue, muscle, tendon and organ system, is designed for adaptability. Together we ask the question, what tissues are holding, stuck, or restricted? Where does the body want to let go into healing. Each tissue is part of the fabric of this intercommunicating matrix. Our restrictions as well as our fluid structures offer insights to how we move, why we hurt, and the directions for growth and healing.
I have over 20 years of experience working with bodies in motion. This experience has taught my hands to listen to what the body has to show us. The practice of my own life shows me how to show up with an open mind and be present for what each one of us has to teach.
My Story
I was always an athlete who loved to move, but in high school a friend took me to Mabiba Baegne's West African dance class and it changed my life. My eyes opened to the interconnection of movement, rhythm, and spirit. The presence, energy, and power I felt was profound. I returned home floating above the ground, and I knew then that my life’s pursuit would be studying about the body and the intersection we have with spirit. Through my studies, I gradually came to understand the power of movement to help heal the body and how spirit can lead the body to health.
