Dance and active movement have always been a big part of my life: social dancing, cheerleading, contemporary & modern, ski free-riding, mountain biking, Osho meditation and yoga…
Once I’d excitedly encountered dance meditation practices like 5Rhythms and Open Floor, I saw a bridge between day-to-day life in the city and developing connections with my inner self, listening to my body and embodied expression.
My commitment to and passion for the dynamic healing arts led me to advanced movement study and training to teach freedomDANCE, a Conscious Movement practice founded by Alex Svoboda, trained as both a 5Rhythms and Open Floor teacher.
freedomDANCE practice is not about attaining something, rather it helps us to widen the endless possibilities of the heart; to live them though our bodies, to be more open and able to respond to whatever comes towards us and whatever stirs within us.
I feel honoured to teach freedomDANCE. It gives me the chance to witness and support the most profound human beauty.
I offer individual and group workshops, retreats, mentorship, and supervision. Each of these is born from my deep passion for teaching and integrates the full spectrum of my background as an embodied facilitator, dancer, and leader. For more than a decade, I have been devoted to exploring and interpreting the vast language of the body: learning to perceive and trust what is subtle and unseen just as much as what is tangible and visible. In the course of practice we are building a more intimate connection with yourself, bringing all of who you are into a world that needs you!
