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.
