I believe that the way we welcome new life into our world touches all of us. Conception, pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period are the foundations of our collective health. Every mother and baby are worthy of deep care, respect and continuous support which is rooted in love and reverence.

I Love seeing women thrive and embrace motherhood when they feel held, empowered, well-informed and confident. Our mothers are our first teachers and our first earth; their well-being is intrinsic to our health. When women thrive, we all thrive.

It is my joy and passion to help women disarm their fears and apprehensions, become more attuned to their feminine nature and trust their innate body wisdom.

I know that when a woman deeply embodies her inner knowing, she can find her power, confidence and wisdom within herself, without the need to rely on an outsider’s influence or authority. This woman’s potential is limitless, she moves fluidly towards manifesting what she knows in her heart is true.

I have an unshakeable trust in women’s bodies and the mystery through which pregnancy and birth unfold. My lifelong devotion to dance, somatic movement and the healing arts inevitably informs my approach and respect for what is beyond our rational understanding.

My dance training began in Spain and later on continued in France, Australia and London, where I studied at the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. There, I was introduced to Somatic Movement, which marked a turning point in my life.

Somatic movement values the internal experience of movement rather than its external appearance or goal. My experience was one of being moved, of being led by my body, towards a deeper understanding of my body’s innate intelligence.

I soon realized that any formal, strict, and directive approach applied to the body inhibits anyone’s own innate knowing to come through, and that’s when I felt the necessity to offer a somatic approach to birth preparation and women’s health in general. One which deeply acknowledges every woman’s sovereignty and inherent wisdom.
