WHO I AM

​I founded Body of Sound (BoS) in 2006 because I believe your body is your most essential instrument and compass for life. Tune it well, and it can wisely guide you through life, love and the pursuit of happiness in these turbulent times.

​I've studied movement for 30+ years and have been facilitating groups since 2000. After debilitating knee injuries derailed my professional dancing dreams, I began a path of healing. This forever changed the course of my life and career.
​It opened me as a bridge for others to access movement and sound as medicine for the soul. 
​
​I bring science, humor and just the right dose of woowoo, to help the medicine go down in the most delightful way.
​Body of Sound was born from the magic dust of trauma transformed into my soul-calling.
We all experience our own version of injury, disappointment, or life not going as planned.
I see it as the opportunity for awakening.
​
​Now I find joy in sharing it with the world, and people like YOU!

WHAT I DO

I help you develop a healthy relationship with your body.
I guide you to listen to your body, connect with it, and tune it to its optimal state. 
I use somatic practices to help you feel "at home" in your skin and make sense of the body you live in.

Communication is everything. I help you become a clear communicator through your body and your voice so what you are saying, doing and thinking are aligned with the values of how you want to live your life.

I'm also very good at leading large groups of people and audiences through transformational experiences of collective joy.
These experiences create breakthroughs, lasting memories, undeniable connections, and lifelong friendships.

WHY I DO IT

I absolutely love my work. It's my passion. It's what I'm good at. It's what makes my soul feel truly alive.
This world can sometimes feel like a hard and lonely place, and I believe this work of connecting and uplifting people through authenticity and honesty, can make all the difference in living your best life.
​
One time a man in his 60's told me he had never before danced in the daylight, sober, in public until my event.
A 70 year old woman told me she had a breakthrough moving her body in ways she never imagined until I showed her.
​Several clients told me my membership program was their lifeline through the pandemic. 
Another time a guy told me I broke his "dancephobia" and now he will dance more.​
​ Sometimes people have no words, only tears and a giant hug.
These stories, and many more, are all the reasons I do what I do.
