GRAVITY AND GRACE MOVEMENT

PILATES, YOGA, AND THERAPEUTICS

Private Instruction

One-on-one Sessions

At Gravity and Grace Movement studio, a 1:1 session is tailored to meet your needs and goals. Each session is an alchemical and intuitive process; I ask questions, listen to your history, ideas, & language, and then guide breath and movement.  I use elements of yoga, Pilates and functional anatomy & movement (depending on your requests).

Classes

Engagement in transformational & social change work can often be lonely or lead to burnout. Witnessing and resisting injustice takes a toll on our individual and collective nervous systems and ecosystems.

Special Events and Workshops

Rooted in the ancient wisdom of the Diné people, these sacred ceremonies offer a deeply respectful and transformative experience, fostering spiritual healing, balance, and connection with self, spirit, and the Earth.

Traditional Healing Ceremonies

Your body holds the key to resilience and joy; I’m here to help you unlock it.

I am a trauma-informed embodiment educator, activist, dancer and healer certified

Pilates, Functional Movement & Yoga. I’ve been teaching for over 23 years and volunteering in community-care settings since I was a teen.

My extensive experience is specialized in working with injury rehabilitation, anxiety, depression, PTSD, nervous system co-regulation, chronic pain management and body dysmorphia.

The focus of my practice/teaching is on being present to truth(s) and resources in the body to create space for healing, accountability and strength in both the individual and the collective.

My approach is grounded in meeting people where they are.

I opened my studio, Gravity & Grace Movement, in Portland, Oregon–Cowlitz, Clackamas, Multnomah land in 2017. I am an ongoing student of Indigenous teachers in the PNW from the Diné (Navajo) lineage.

I've been teaching  since 2001 to a broad range of clients, that include NFL Hall of Famer, Steve Young and International Popstar, Lady Gaga.

I work with all variety of ability levels and issues, including, but not limited to: chronic injuries, herniations, hip-replacements, scoliosis, pre&post surgery, auto-immune disorders, depression/anxiety/panic disorders, PTSD, pre&post natal, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, cancer, arthritis and more. 

I specialize in trauma-informed practices and I have a keen ability for working with hyper-mobility, body dysmorphia, disordered eating and chronic pain, as I have walked my own healing path through these issues.
