I am a somatic, shamanic and sonic entrepreneur, and I have devoted the past thirty years to facilitating dance and embodiment with a diversity of people.

  • My childhood was spent talking to trees and rocks, flowers and sky. I always had a lizard or ant on my body and spent most of my time outdoors. I was in training, one of my wise mentors pointed out to me. An Earth Ambassador learning the language of nature to prepare for the day needed to translate to others the profound messages of Earth. Nature and Dance was where I turned my prayers and my attention as my own creative way to manage and survive childhood trauma and isolation. Talking with spirit was a perfectly natural conversation for me, that took place through my connections with the natural world. Here my ‘play’ training strengthened my capacity to self-resource and to listen to the mystery. I honed nature as my ally, guardian and mother through feeling my skin on grass, my feet moving in dirt and my hands touching plants. It is within my wound of the Outsider, where I learnt how to lead through listening. I am grateful to be able to share these teachings with you.

  • My movement practices have literally moved thousands of different people in all sorts of community, health, justice, education, arts and environmental settings. My dance floors range from inner city church halls, sandy lined shores, leafy green forest beds and red desert earth. The majority of my work is done without words, relying on intuition, frequency, imagination and masterful embodied space holding. My job titles have included Choreographer, Artistic Director, Teacher, Film Maker, Community Cultural Development Officer, Writer, Mother, Futurist, Healer, Visionary, Soul Guide, Embodiment Coach and Boss Lady.

  • I am a Manifestor-Generator who has spent my entire life creating. I thrive on bringing humans together in ceremonial dance, where freedom, connection and transformation are individually and collectively embodied in the dance. I am dedicated to connecting us back to nature through our own embodiment.

    I am a certified 5Rhythms teacher, Futuring Trainer of Trainers, Yoni Bodywork Therapist, Author and Somatic Coach. I am the proud founder of Eco Soma, a new body of work, sharing eco somatic practices that guide you home to grounding in your body on planet earth. I believe our body is the gateway to the divine and when we know ourselves enough to trust ourselves, we enter through the portal to peace, power, presence and love.

 I am grateful to be able to share these teachings with you.
