movement educator

What if:
1) You move all the parts in all the ways?
2) Feel what moves you?
3) Get outside and play?
“What do you want to work on today?” During our time together, we’ll build your senses of curiosity, play, self-trust, alignment, and connection to your nature. I craft sessions based on more than two decades of education, mentoring, leading teacher trainings, and my self practice. 

In addition to teaching movement indoors in the tamed world, I guide explorative movement and nature/spirit connection everywhere from urban settings to remote wilderness. 

My style? Well, when I asked my clients to give me a job title, their answers included “movement innovator and people mover”, “extremely well-trained, intuitive, and fun movement mentor”, “science bruja movement genius and uncanny empath good weirdo”, “professional cool tia”, “science-based fairy coach”, and one response was simply 12 emojis. (I still do not have a business card!) 

I use my own movement and nature connection practices to explore play, work with disabilities (including hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome) and neurodivergence, celebrate being queer, and feel like a fully-alive human. 

I welcome all humans! 

When I’m not working, you’ll find me wandering/hiking the wilderness of the Sky Islands, at home in my garden, or painting watercolors. I live in a 103-year-old casita with my house panthers, Francie and Neely. Despite inflation, our house spirit refuses to pay rent. ​
