My journey to movement began with a bit of ballet in my early childhood, and an unbridled desire to be active. But my fascination with movement really kicked into gear around age 10 when I experienced the wild, undomesticated energy of African (Zulu) dance in a massive, smoky hut in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. It was in this space, that I first felt the heartbeat of dance and experienced movement as storytelling with the body.

Since then, I've delved into various forms of movement—dance, physical theatre, even fire and stilt dancing! However, the most profound discovery for me was the transformational practice of yoga.

During my high school years, grappling with scoliosis and chronic tension headaches, I found myself facing the prospect of spinal fusion surgery. But fate intervened when I crossed paths with a wonderful yogi who introduced me to the healing potential of yoga. Through dedicated practice, I not only found relief from my headaches but also witnessed a gradual correction in my spinal curvature. Yoga became my saving grace, sparing me from the surgeon's table and offering a path to healing through movement.

Now, in my forties, I am a living testament to the profound impact of movement on both physical and emotional well-being. I want to share the gift of movement and inspire others to discover the healing power it holds.
