history

somatics as leadership

   I’ve been teaching and practicing movement for over a decade. After earning my BFA in dance at Temple University, I spent most of my career balancing Pilates with performance art projects, working at Pilates studios around the city, and adjuncting in university dance departments. For much of that time, I helped run the Drexel Pilates Training Program, and built their continuing education programming.
  Working at the intersection of movement educators, movement artists, and those returning to their birthright of movement (aka new movers), I found myself enthralled with what it means to have a body, how our life shapes our movement patterns, and how movement impacts our personal and social experiences. I followed that curiosity to a degree in Transformative Leadership from the California Institute of Integral Studies, and began integrating systems thinking, ecological metaphors, creative exploration, and critical thinking into my teaching.
