I have a fierce passion for helping people learn to love being in their bodies.  My pride comes from walking thru the fire of my “hero’s journey”- spending my first 30 years in the dance community, active but hating myself due to the strict beauty and body standards at that time.  After having my daughter in 2014 and rehabbing from childbirth, dance injuries, and an abusive relationship, I found medicine in movement and my new mission- to show others the path to pain-free body joy.  I walk my talk by constantly seeking optimal lifestyle solutions that are sustainable, in hopes of enjoying life as a human well into my 100s.  I live with my cheetah-like daughter and dog-like cat in SE Portland, dance to anything, and am in constant pursuit of portland’s best biscuit.
