ABOUT
From Breakdown to Breakthrough
In 2011, I was diagnosed with advanced autoimmune rheumatoid arthritis. Doctors said it was chronic, incurable, and degenerative. But I chose another path.
Instead of accepting a lifetime of pharmaceuticals and pain, I turned inward. I studied, I prayed, I danced through the agony. And slowly—miraculously—I healed. Not just physically, but wholly.
That healing sparked something greater.
I began teaching movement classes to reclaim my strength, not expecting that others would begin to reclaim theirs too. What started as one woman’s decision to rise from illness became one of the most recognized and attended wellness communities on the planet. Hundreds came weekly. Lives changed. A new way of living was born.
I reversed an “incurable” disease and built one of the most beloved dance and wellness communities in the world. Now, I help others rise—body, mind, and spirit.
My work has been honored and featured by leaders, organizations, and platforms worldwide—not because I chased recognition, but because I walked the path.
