Experience

With over fifty years in the field of dance and more than three decades of integrating wellness practices, I bring a deeply personal and professional perspective to the art of balanced living. My own journey toward holistic health informs my commitment to inspire and mentor others along theirs—supporting dancers in cultivating sustainable, purpose-filled lives. I hold a Master of Fine Arts in Dance and a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology, along with certifications in Health and Life Coaching, Plant-Based Nutrition, and Somatic Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. These qualifications, combined with years of embodied experience, uniquely equip me to serve and lead within the mission of Dancer Wellness Care.

As a coach, therapist, and educator, I offer research-based workshops, webinars, and individual sessions designed to support individuals and groups in achieving greater wellness, resilience, and balance. Drawing from neuroscience, somatic psychology, mental health practices, and whole-person wellness approaches, I help clients reconnect with their bodies, restore emotional health, and sustain energy through intentional lifestyle care.

I view dance as a deeply holistic and embodied experience—one that involves not just the body, but also our emotional and inner life. My wellness care approach integrates practices that support both physical vitality and emotional regulation. This includes guidance on nutrient-rich meals and snacks to fuel performance and recovery, practical tips for hydration, rest, and sleep, and body-based tools that promote mindfulness, stress recovery, and nervous system balance. Whether you're a dancer, educator, or wellness seeker, my goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-informed care that helps you live with greater freedom, clarity, and wholeness.

Support

Care

Self-care is essential for longevity—in both life and dance. While knowledge is valuable, accountability and support are often what move us toward lasting change. As a holistic health consultant, I work with individuals to explore the full spectrum of wellness—physical, nutritional, mental, emotional, and spiritual—and how these areas interact in real life. Through guided reflection, personalized tools, and supportive conversations, I help clients make intentional lifestyle choices that bring greater balance, vitality, and sustainability.

Drawing from years of experience in the dance world, I speak to dancers, educators, studio owners, company directors, and parents to offer a wellness mindset tailored to the unique demands of dance life. Together, we look beyond technique and performance to examine the deeper rhythms of a dancer’s well-being—supporting practical, positive changes that nurture the whole person.
