I approach life through the eyes of an athlete, mentor, performer, movement coach, and holistic practitioner.

For much of my life, dance was the vehicle. It carried me through performance, competition, teaching, choreography, studio ownership, personal healing, and seasons of deep transition. It gave me structure when life felt uncertain, discipline when I needed direction, and expression when words were not enough.

As a competitive ballroom dancer and studio owner, I learned what it meant to train a body to perform. I understood discipline, conditioning, repetition, recovery, and the pursuit of excellence. But being an athlete did not make me invincible.

I have also experienced health challenges, burnout, setbacks, and seasons when the body I had spent years training and relying upon asked something different of me. That became an important turning point in my life.

I began to understand that being strong and being well are not always the same thing.

A body can perform and still need care. An athlete can be disciplined and still become depleted. We can appear strong on the outside while something inside is asking us to slow down, listen, nourish, recover, or change.

My own experiences invited me to develop a different relationship with my body — one built not only around what it could accomplish, but around how well I could listen to it. That changed my relationship with movement.

Movement was no longer simply about performance, fitness, or technique. It became a way to restore the body, express what words could not, reconnect with myself, build community, and celebrate being alive.

Over time, my work naturally expanded beyond the dance floor.

I began weaving together restorative movement, somatic awareness, stretching, nourishment, women's wellness, holistic practices, nervous system support, creativity, spiritual reflection, ritual, and intentional living.

I realized these were never separate parts of my life. They were different expressions of the same practice. That understanding became Kiss My Artsy Minsistry.

THE BODY IS MORE THAN WHAT IT CAN DO

Today, I bring together decades of lived experience in athletics, dance, performance, competition, teaching, studio ownership, holistic practice, creativity, and service. My work is not about forcing the body into someone else's definition of strength, health, beauty, or success. It is about developing a relationship with yourself that allows strength and softness, discipline and recovery, expression and stillness to coexist.

I believe movement can build more than muscle. It can build confidence.

Dance can restore expression. Recovery can teach awareness.

Nourishment can become an act of respect. Creativity can reconnect us with parts of ourselves we may have forgotten. And our setbacks can sometimes become invitations to know ourselves differently.

Kiss My Artsy is the place where I bring those pieces together — movement, creativity, spirituality, holistic care, self-expression, ceremony, and service.

My role is not to tell people who they should become. It is to teach, encourage, and create spaces where people can reconnect with themselves, discover their own rhythm, and cultivate the strength to become the warrior in their own garden.

EXPERIENCE + EDUCATION

My work is supported by formal education, professional training, licensing, and decades of embodied experience. Those credentials matter to me because I take the responsibility of teaching and guiding others seriously. But they are not the whole story. They support a much larger body of work shaped by movement, restoration, creativity, spiritual awareness, lived experience, and service.

Dance is the vehicle.
The body is the doorway.
Creativity is the expression.
Spirit is the compass.
And becoming the warrior in your own garden is the path.
