My Bio

Feminist, Facilitator, Crystal Lover, Reiki Healer, Beauty Rebel, Partner, Queer, Mom of Boy, Paleo Eater, Coffee Fiend, Chocolate Connoisseur, Lefty Catholic, Dancer, Social Worker.

I came out of the womb dancing and spent 15 years training in classical ballet.  When that became to feel too restricting i dove into all things latin dance and in my 20’s you could be sure to find me at a salsa club several nights a week.

I’ve dabbled in burlesque, ballroom, swing, hip hop and sacred movement - evening co-owning a dance studio here in downtown London for a short time.

I’m also a born facilitator and trainer- i love helping individuals and groups move through process and co-led my first month long program when I was only 18 (hands up to all the camp counsellors out there!)

Why Bellyfit:

Now in my 40’s I have turned a lot of my energy inward to deepen into FACILITATING MY OWN GROWTH and healing process. 

I have released unhealthy weight by changing my diet - it began with the Whole30 and now I eat a Paleo diet.  Learning about what truly FUELS MY BODY and unpacking my RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD was a massive kickstart to my healing journey.

I then began to commit to regular movement and joined a really supportive online community led by a good friend. Having the support and motivation of other women was a critical piece to helping GET UP and get moving regularly.
 
This has been an incredibly HEALING journey over the last three years.  I have gained some serious strength (inner and outer) and come to learn that when we MOVE our bodies, we are not only supporting our physical health, but our EMOTIONAL AND ENERGETIC HEALTH as well. 

I truly believe that when we move our bodies, we move old stagnant energy that we can then intentionally release allowing us to heal from past wounds.

I came to Bellyfit in the spring of 2021 through Alice’s Shakti Warrior Dance for Healing series offered on Daily OM (check it out!!).  I was truly transformed though that practice and fell in love with the combination of FLOWING SENSUOUS movements alongside STRONG WARRIOR like movements – all the while getting a good sweat on!  I was hooked…and now here I am.

Let’s move, shake, sweat and dive into these beautiful sacred divine feminine bodies we have been gifted. I can’t wait to share this practice with you!

Classes coming soon!
