the face behind radiance movement

Movement, music and nature have been anchors my entire life. Growing up in rural Louisiana as an only child (for the first 10 years of my life), I spent a lot of time alone exploring, climbing trees, riding bikes, and making up dance routines. I started dance classes when I was 3, performing in many recitals and eventually dancing competitively with my high school dance team. Dance was life! 

At age 17, I became a mom which obviously shifted everything. To provide stability for us, I chose a career in Computer Science, moved both of us to Austin, TX in 2000 and worked in IT for 15 years until I hit peak burnout. I was ready to return to my true love, dance. I began teaching children's dance classes and felt alive again. I started a children's entertainment company and practiced circus arts.

Fast forward to 2020, when things shifted again and I became certified in Somatic Movement Education and began leading transformative women's healing circles in Austin, TX. After so many years of living with chronic anxiety, ADHD, and addiction to stimulants, I finally learned how to slow down, tune in and find peace in my nervous system I forgot existed. I gave up the hustle and grind lifestyle and embraced a more feminine approach. I knew this was now my path - to help others stop abandoning themselves and reclaim their peace, freedom and JOY.
