Movement Medicine

Dance became a mainstay in my life when I was a young girl. Competitions, strict ballet, and professional performance formed the core of my experience, but an injury and, frankly, fear of success, turned me away from pursuing dance as a career.  Despite the cessation, the urge to move with music remained alive in me. So when an ecstatic dance class crossed my path a few years ago, I followed my curiosity and fell in love with dancing all over again. 

This time around, dance took on a whole new meaning. Instinctual, essential life force, not choreography or lessons, guided the movement, shifting stuck energies (emotions) and freeing my body and soul to move in fresh ways, both literally and metaphorically. While working up a sweat, I began working out stress, anxiety, anger, and more all while enjoying the community that comes with class gatherings.

I became so intrigued with, and frankly hooked on, the new movement modality that I decided to level up and join Mariposa Movement’s first ever Flight School cohort. Thos groundbreaking shamanic dance leadership training took me to new heights and prepared me to bring movement medicine to the world.
