About

Originally from Augusta, GA, I discovered my love for movement at a very young age. When I was 18 years old I moved to Los Angeles, CA to pursue a career as a professional dancer. Over the past decade and beyond, I have had the honor to explore a variety of performance opportunities spanning film, television, music videos, awards shows, company performances, and more.

 

Although exploring dance and movement on stage was my first passion, I have come to find fulfillment in sharing my experience with younger generations through programs such as Stacey Tookey’s, “The Protege Movement”, as a cofounding choreographer of CLI Studios, and a variety of others. beneath my passion for movement and teaching there has always been a longing for embodied expression and connection, which i have both achieved and struggled to access in many environments. in witnessing my personal accomplishments and struggles, I have also seen a mirroring in students across the country. This mirroring has deepened my sense of purpose around what I learn and how i choose share. I have dedicated years to researching and understanding the stress response and needs of our autonomic nervous systems, seeking to uncover what has kept me stuck and gain insight on how to move forward in connection with my truest nature. Although I began this journey to uncover more sustainable perspectives and practices for my personal life, they have influenced every thing I do, from how I live to how I guide my students and what feels relevant to offer.

 

In 2019, I was certified as a Neurosculpting Meditation Facilitator under the guidance of Lisa Wimberger, marking the beginning of my somatic education. In the beginning of 2024, after three years of training through Dr. Peter Levine’s Somatic Experiencing International educational program, I earned my certification as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner.

 

I am so thankful for the tools I have gained along my journey so far, from movement to somatics, and I am learning patience as they slowly integrate into my lifestyle, perspectives, and relationships. I hope to use these tools to walk alongside you and support you wherever you are in your journey. together there is an opportunity to uncover the wholeness that, many times, is hidden behind patterns, habits, and fears as we prioritize connection and the expression that your system may not even realize it is calling out for.
