Music and dance have been my life-long passion. I discovered Bellydance in 2006, and since then my life has not been the same. The magic of this beautiful, unconventionally expressive form of art has profoundly impacted my life and changed the way I perceive myself and the world.
I have been fortunate to learn from some of the best artists, like Ansuya, Sonya, Marjhani, Sashi, Sherri Wheatley, Zoe Jakes and of course one of the pioneers of this style, Rachel Brice.
I believe Bellydance is a perfect junction of art and fitness. Accessible to most, it can be as mild or as strenuous as you choose, but it’s always equally beautiful and feminine. It never gets old or boring, because it’s a constant creative process. It keeps challenging you physically, and yes, mentally as well! 🙂
Bellydance is also an amazing form of therapy, a wonderful release of stress and tension. It empowers and encourages a positive body image. It fulfills your emotional need for feeling confident and beautiful, both inside and out.
Overall, Bellydance is one of the most perfect ways to invest your time that will reward you richly on all levels of your being: physical, emotional, mental. In our hectic and disconnected life Bellydance gives you a chance to explore the realm of your deeper self, and maybe find your inner goddess, waiting to be awakened.
This is why I created My Goddess Power™ belly dance fitness workout format that marries simplified elements of dance with other physical disciplines like calisthenics, yoga and qi gong. You can learn more about this unique system here.
I feel very lucky to share my passion for holistic wellness, fitness and Bellydance with audiences and students alike. Currently I work as a wellness and fitness coach, and dance instructor in Orange County. I also perform as a Bellydancer. You can see a sample of my work here.
