I have been a lover of expressive movement and music throughout my entire life. I will never forget the unique freedom, joy and elation I felt in my first Nia class. I love how Nia invites people to love and accept themselves fully and to develop their full potential. I also love the sense of community it creates. After not dancing for several years in my late 20s, I was thrilled to have found a sustainable, low-impact movement technique that incorporates fantastic, unique music and the freedom to express myself in a fun, safe, and healing format. I love the playfulness and the balance between freedom and form. I am so grateful for Nia - it keeps me moving and having fun as well as learning new things and exploring variety and movement skills in a way that honors and respects my body. Nia makes me feel better and helps me explore my potential. I knew I had to share this with others. With my background in theatre, improv, pantomime, taekwondo, dance and show choir, finding Nia was the perfect culmination of all of my loves and passions! In my classes and workshops, emphasis is given to creative expression, play, and fun, while engaging in a great workout for the whole body. My goal is to provide a fun, healing and supportive environment for ALL to enjoy and become empowered in their own bodies to choose pleasure and JOY. I consider it a blessing to have found Nia and a privilege to teach and share this wonderful technique!
