About

I'm focused on improving the lives of adults with hypermobility, EDS and other connective tissue disorders (known as 'zebras') and/or neurodivergence.

I live with hypermobility/hEDS and its comorbidities including neurodivergence. When menopause worsened these conditions, I knew I had to do something different if I wanted to stay involved in life. Conventional medical and exercise advice rarely caters for people like us. Chakradance was the first movement practice that didn't leave me in pain or injured. From my first dance to the base chakra and the profound safety I experienced, I knew I wanted to share Chakradance with others who struggle to live their best life in a world that wasn't designed for their spicy brains or bendy bodies.

Chakradance allows me combine my love of dance, music, art, and spirituality in a single movement modality. After decades of living as an undiagnosed neurodivergent zebra, I had a lot of accumulated trauma and grief to process. Chakradance gave me a way to reconnect to my body and work through this without pushing past my physical limits. It's the only practice I've found that honours both what my body needs and what supports my nervous system as well as my soul.
