I recall dance and movement being a vital part of almost all my life, coming from a background of classical Indian dance training for over 15 years. Over the years, I developed a passion for mental health and decided to pursue my Bachelor’s in Psychology to begin exploring the broader field of serving the community. I have also spent time training and teaching Zumba, yoga, dance, and other fitness modalities, which you may still find me actively engaged in today.

In my own process of building a mind–body connection, I began to further understand what my body was communicating to me, and how it connected to my life experiences and the stories I was holding onto. As Bessel van der Kolk states, “Neuroscience research shows that the only way we can change the way we feel is by becoming aware of our inner experience and learning to befriend what is going on inside ourselves.”

I have always seen my purpose as merging psychology, movement/dance, and the wellness world as a guiding light for myself and my practice. In the last few years, I have spent time in these fields separately — working as a therapist in the domestic and family violence space, and teaching yoga — while in my free time, you can often find me immersed in dance.

Body Wisdom represents the merging of body, mind, and soul in a holistic way of holding space for you and your journey. I embrace the therapeutic role as someone who holds a compassionate and empathetic space where you can feel heard, seen, and held. I aim to create a safe environment for you to dive deeper into your journey of building mind–body awareness, to facilitate somatic healing and development. I use an integrative approach and a trauma-informed framework to support clients further in their growth.
