I came to the 5Rhythms in 2016 and it completely changed my life. What began as a place to move and sweat became a path of healing, belonging, and expression. Through the practice I began releasing old patterns rooted in growing up around addiction, and over time shifted from feeling afraid to take up space into a life grounded in authenticity, joy, and connection.

I am delighted to step into the teacher’s role by offering Emerging Waves classes in Philadelphia. Since 2023 I have also co produced Renewal Waves, a bimonthly 5Rhythms class and workshop series with accredited teachers.

I care deeply about cultivating a dance floor where people feel welcomed as they are, and where the rhythms offer space to let go of old stories, rediscover freedom in the body, and tap into creativity.

Outside the dance, I have spent the past fifteen years working as an independent web designer and creative communications consultant for nonprofits, artists, and holistic practitioners. I hold a degree in visual art from Naropa University and a Master of Library Science, and continue to explore creativity as a contemplative practice.

I am a 5Rhythms teacher in training mentored by Alessandro Moruzzi, Vehllia Tranne, and Karen Chapman.
