I can still feel the deep exhale in my body when I experienced 5rhythms for the first time 11 years ago.

It was like all my paths had led right to that moment, where a knowing in my bone marrow finally manifested into reality.

There was and always has been more to Dance than how it looks - as a young woman I knew this, but hadn’t tasted it yet.

That 5rhythms class in September opened the doors to an 11 year journey with dance where it has become a prayer, my medicine, and the healing modality that has set me free.

I have been facilitating somatic dance for 10 years now, teaching professionally for 14.

And time and time again I see women shape-shift from the dance.

They enter tense, closed off, strained eyes and pursed lips. They leave open, soft, relaxed shoulders and gentle eyes. Sitting closer to the women in the circle, connected and safe.

I have taught over 15,000 hours of dance and will never forget seeing women finally cry and let their emotions be felt through their bodies, thanking me after for what 10 years of talk therapy couldn’t do.

Our ancestors danced the dance of healing - in all cultures.

To meet yourself in your body, with pure devotion and curiosity is the greatest gift you can give to yourself.

And it will reward you again and again and again.

At age 10 I started taking laxatives - 4-5 pills per day to try and get rid of the food and try to lose weight

By age 14 I was counting calories and trying to eat less than 1000 per day

By age 16 I was full of inflammation always on a diet. I would wake up and run on our treadmill for 30 minutes, do gym class in school and dance 3-7 pm straight and STILL think I could have done more

At 21 I stopped getting my period, inflamed, constantly puffy, a horrible relationship to food. Over exercising. Drinking 4 cups of coffee a day to silence my body pain and hunger.

At 23 my gut was so messed up, my body was constantly in pain and I was depressed.

Still running, trying to “eat clean” and shrink shrink shrink

As women we learn how to treat our bodies - for me I learned from the women around me always trying to shrink, from dance and what was seen as beautiful, from the magazines, TV shows and movies showing thin women.

I am a muscular, athletic build. I will never be stick thin and should not be.

It took me 9 years to change my relationship to my body and to food.

It has taken me rewiring my subconscious beliefs, my nervous system and my relationship to my physical body to feel deep love for her.

I look on the mirror now and think wow - what strong legs, what beautiful curves, how grateful I am to finally be nourished.

And I EAT with pleasure and care.

Self love is not energetic, it is physical and tangible and requires showing up for our bodies to feel nourished and dripping in love.

I am so grateful for where I arrived today, in deep devotion to my holy, sacred vessel.

Body shame rewired to Body Love.

🔑 doing the thing.

Dreaming is great - actually setting goals and obtaining them is where you build your self responsibility and self trust muscle

Start small, practical and simple on your Sunday goal setting for the week

Could look like this 👇🏻

Body
1 micro goal you can ACTUALLY do, if it feels too stretchy scale it back

Heart & spirit
1 micro thing that would lift you up and expand you, this can be 5 minutes of prayer or sitting in silence

Relationship
Highly recommend screen away time and at least 20 minutes of real authentic relating

Career/biz
Focus on the micro goal that will move you forward

Put it somewhere you can see it and check it off as you go

Hello dopamine 👋🏼 and satisfaction ❤️

I will be your accountability buddy. Drop a “SELF TRUST” in the comments and then on Sunday I will check in with you!
