  • Move Like a Stripper/Heal Your Pelvic Floor/ The Power of Sensual Movement
    Sep 12 2025

    Are you ready to move beyond the Kegel?

    I was.

    About 20 years ago I had some serious issues going on with my pelvis and pelvic floor.

    One of those issues was sciatica.

    I'd have these bouts of crippling pain that would land me on my back for days.

    At the time I was a Pilates teacher and Yoga teacher and the tools I was teaching gave me no relief.

    The Kegel wasn't working either.

    What did help and eventually open up a whole new way of being in my body was sensual movement.

    In this episode I share:

    • How I stumbled upon the healing power of sensual movement via a Victoria's Secret catalog
    • Three incredible benefits to starting a sensual movement practice
    • How to begin

    Let's dive in!

  • The Art of Sensual Breathwork/ A Divine Feminine Practice
    Sep 5 2025

    Tantra is a journey of expansion.

    The universe expanding through you.

    Your cells want to dance with your every breath.

    And yet there are many very valid reasons why that dance isn't always happening.

    Stored trauma, tension, limiting beliefs & emotional content can keep our cells in lockdown, armored up, protective.

    Through intelligent use of breathwork we can gently & gracefully expand into being more fully alive and freely expressed.

    Breathwork is powerful medicine and it needs to be done in ways that honor the nervous system.

    I teach a form of Conscious Connected Breath (CCB) infused with feminine principle. One that invites the breather on a journey home to herself.

    Let's dive in.
