I am a passionate advocate for joyful, expressive, and inclusive fitness. I specialize in creating uplifting, accessible dance experiences where everyBODY is celebrated. Whether it’s getting stronger on the dance floor, flowing through yoga fusion, lifting weights with rhythm, or dressing up to fully embody a musical genre or style, my mission is to help you reconnect with the most powerful, authentic version of you.

Back in 2009, I stepped into a dance session at a fitness conference that would completely shift the trajectory of my life. It was called GROOVALICIOUS SEXY DANCE P ARTY, led by Misty Tripoli. At the time, I had already been teaching group fitness for over 25 years. And while I loved moving my body, I was weighed down by the constant pressure to “fix” myself and others—to be fitter, thinner, stronger… always more and never enough. What I experienced in that one-hour GROOVE session wasn’t just a workout—it was a
homecoming. I felt a deep, powerful connection to my body, my breath, my creativity, and my joy. For the first time in a long time, I felt more alive, more free, and more me.

That moment sparked a complete transformation—not only in how I approached fitness, but in how I chose to live. Let’s move together—and rediscover what it feels like to truly thrive.
