I spent my 20's recovering from life up til that point. My body didn't feel like it belonged to me. As a teen I was a disciplined dancer,  weekend wild child, with straight A's. I lacked impulse control and boundaries but you'd never know because I masked so well. I was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder and gave up on my dreams of dancing. 

 

I was living with CPTSD and had no idea and no support...just alcohol and adderall. After college is when the trauma really began to show. I was restricting food and binging,  shame spiraling regularly. 

 

But what broke me down was being sexually assaulted a month before I walked down the aisle.  It reactivated a memory of violation only my body had recorded...my mind had deeply suppressed since childhood.

 

My healing journey led me down a path of alternative modalities, I knew I needed with begin with the body. I explored acupuncture, energy medicine, trauma work, and sound healing with amazing practitioners in Texas and Florida. The autoimmune disorder began to disappear as did my anxiety. 

​

The alternative healing path often intersects with new ageism, which poisoned my path for a brief period.  I began looping in the stories, attempting to resolve everything through my mind. I was using tools to cope, instead of actually liberating myself. I got caught up in “following my bliss” which felt like freedom, but it was a facade.  I do wonder if most of us have to walk through that healing phase, the spiraling and fixation on self.

​

Everything shifted when I began reclaiming my relationship with my body and God, outside of how I was raised with religion.  This is when I actually began to free myself from the identity constructs I built in survival mode. I stopped viewing myself as a project to be perfected. I used the tools to tune into how I was instead of as a manager of my moods. I realized the brilliance of our body when I stopped battling it.

​

I began to pray in my own way and recoded my consciousness. I started dancing again, exploring improv and freeform movement. I began to feel the  energy I was always attuned to, but usually dismissed. I started trusting life instead of bracing for the unknown.

 

During this period of body reclamation, I was working in corporate America, stuck in a cubicle. As my soul came back online it began to scream at me. I couldn't ignore my creative gifts any longer. 

​

I did my first  yoga teacher training in 2014. As I taught classes,  my voice started to come back. I was a dance teacher as a teen and had missed expressing this energy. I felt myself shifting into a deeper sense of purpose with each class. 

 

One night, I had a dream where I saw myself doing the work I do now with clients. I woke up the next day and knew the next step: massage therapy school. I trusted the nudge completely...which was a new pattern I was getting used to.

 

It was the most enjoyable learning experience of my life and my latent psychic gifts went full blast. I had a vision for the work I am divinely inspired to share and started merging my spiritual gifts with somatic knowledge.

 

My dream of teaching dance came back in a way I never could have imagined with the MOVEMENT MEDICINE method.

 

It is my deepest joy and HONOR to share this work with women and witness them reclaim their body.
