My Story
I began as a dancer and athlete and recognized early on that I process life kinesthetically. No matter where I am in the world, the first thing I seek out is a dance class or a yoga studio. My movement background also includes training in Tae Kwon Do, Aikido, and Qi Gong.
​
I’ve spent years studying movement and acting across Russia, Canada, Senegal, Scotland, England, and France. These experiences have shaped my teaching into a living patchwork of global influences that continue to refine and inform my pedagogy.
​
This multicultural approach allows me to see the intersections between seemingly different movement traditions. I embody those connections in how I sequence, program, and relate to my students—creating practices that feel intelligent, integrated, and deeply resonant. Working with me will deepen your body awareness, ignite your self-confidence and awaken what you deemed impossible.
