A work of the body

The body is a temple of life, 

a vessel of breath, 

a sanctuary of sensation

a home of belonging 

a storyteller of joy and grief

a compass of truth

a witness of heartbreaks

a collaborator of triumphs 

a miracle of constant renewal

My Philosophy

  • 01. Embodiment is resistance

    Fully inhabiting our bodies is a radical act against systems that seek to fragment and control us. When we attune to our bodies, we begin to dismantle the internalized narratives of capitalism and patriarchy, asserting our power to exist as whole, sovereign beings.

  • 02. The body is a sacred source of wisdom

    The body is not merely an object of knowledge but a living, knowing presence—a sacred vessel of wisdom often overlooked. When we begin to find a union with our bodies and see them as equally part of ourselves, we uncover truths and guidance beyond the grasp of mental intelligence.

  • 03. Movement is a catalyst for change

    Dance, sing, walk, stretch! Movement is a catalyst to stir our energy, emotion, and possibility into transformation and growth. When we move our bodies, we are better able to access parts of ourselves that long for transformative healing.

  • 04. Transformation brings healing

    Transformation brings healing by allowing us to shed what no longer serves and create space for renewal. In the alchemical process of change, we integrate our experiences, finding resilience, wholeness, and the freedom to move forward, while honoring the story of where we came.

My Story

It begins and ends with the body.

Ballet was my first love. From age three, my life centered around becoming a professional ballet dancer. I trained rigorously, studied at some of the country’s most renowned ballet academies, and joined a professional company at eighteen. But when I arrived, the road split in two: one path demanded I conform to an industry that shamed my body, while the other was an unknown — a leap into uncertainty and self-discovery.

I chose the unknown. It felt like throwing my dreams away. Martha Graham once said that a dancer dies twice — once when they stop dancing, and this first death is more painful. Giving up ballet was like a death, and for four years, I couldn’t bring myself to fully dance again. But in that grief, I found new ways of moving and being. I cultivated a devoted yoga practice. I lived in Paris, and traveled to more places than I can count. Art became my lifeline — drawing, writing poems, making collages, short films, and photographs, channeling a part of myself I never felt free to explore in the dance studio.

Yet something was missing — the connection between my body and this creative outpouring. When the pandemic hit, I started dancing again in the woods near my house, without mirrors, judgments, or expectations.

Something shifted.

I returned to my body, not as a tool for perfection but as a sacred vessel of wisdom and expression.

This journey is one I believe we are all navigating. Our culture is deeply disembodied, fractured by stories of control, shame, and objectification. Religious and cultural narratives are projected onto us, separating us from the natural wisdom and beauty of our own being. Healing isn’t linear, but I’ve lived this work, peeling back the layers of purity culture, perfectionism, and the chronic disembodiment ingrained in our society.

I believe the body, mind, and spirit are inseparable. Through movement, creativity, and connection, we can reclaim our full freedom and step into our deepest power.

This is the journey I invite you to come with me on.

It’s certainly the road less traveled by, but it’s often the path that brings you straight home — to yourself, your body, and all the messy beauty of aliveness.
