With past lived experience of mental illness and a survivor of abuse (now thriver), I'm trained to address trauma and work as a somatic recovery coach & spiritual guide through dance, choreography, breath work, fitness (sacred core-pelvic specialist), and massage therapist. This is the foundation for my commitment to support others to find their way back to themselves, their bodies, and their creative expression to live in joy and health.

Then I got the message: "Grasshopper Productions"
After asking Spirit with more prayer, meditation, visioning, and inquiry into finding a unique name, I knew it was a TURQUOISE GRASSHOPPER.
Beyond my own intuition, I did research...
