Embodied Sovereignty through movement, strength & expression
My Approach
I begin with sovereignty as a premise: that each person has an inherent capacity to know themselves and participate consciously in the shaping of their own life. The body is central to that relationship, as a site of wisdom and instinct.
After 15 years as a personal trainer, and a lifetime of exploring movement as a pathway into sensuality and deeper relationship with life, I’ve come to see movement as more than physical practice. Movement is a pathway to greater freedom, play, artfulness, sensuality and sovereingty.
My work brings structure and challenge into conversation with listening, helping you build strength without losing touch with what is true for your body. I braid my intuitive wisdom with practical support, allowing for a holistic, deeper approach to the journey.
Move
Circular Movement Sessions
A space to let the body lead, to attune to your own innate rhythm and flow. No performance or choreography, and no particular outcome.
We begin with a feeling, an image, a place in the body, or simply the desire to move. You choose the music, or we find it together. I will move with you, encouraging you to stay with the feeling, the rhythm, the movement.
I guide your attention toward sensation, impulse, breath, resistance, and the places where movement wants to become larger, stranger, softer, or more free.
We follow your body's own intelligence.

Embodied Theater
Movement, character, objects, costume, music, archetype, improvisation, play.
Together we open a space where you to get to discover what happens when something inside you gets a body.
Who wants to enter the room?
What does she wear?
How does she move?
Does she have a voice, song, a story?
What happens when you let her become larger?
Through play, and allowing what's inside to find expression, we alchemize and work with what is within until you feel your heart, passion, play and senses come alive.

Strengthen
Strength + Physical Practice
Strength-training for every body, mobility, physical confidence.
Learning how to inhabit your body with power and capability, honoring both where you currently are and always stretching the bounds of what you feel you're capable of.
We will sweat, stretch, move, breathe.
We may use free-weights, body weight, resistance bands, kettle bells, and other forms of movement to induce a state of alchemical heat, and to get the body on board with who you are becoming and who you long to be.
