I have spent most of life witnessing the beauty and gifts of nature, enjoying an abundance of vitality with gratitude and pleasure. I have also spent much of life moving with ease through my body as a dancer, mother, athlete, physical trainer, and healthcare professional. However, there was a period of time when I lost my way. I was led into the trap of doing “what is expected” and “giving 110%” of my effort. The mainstream narrative almost broke me. Living someone else’s dream and performing in a perpetual state of action is unsustainable and exhausting.
But Mother Nature has a way leading us back to what is sustainable, if we listen. My multidimensional healing journey has given me the gift of remembering. Discovering the divine connection between nature and human movement was an awakening for me. Now I am eager to share with you how nature, movement, and connection are foundational for YOUR health abundance journey. Through my personal experiences, contemplation, knowledge, wisdom, practice, and integration I have created The Earth-Body Way, a new paradigm for fitness & wellness.
After 25 years of honing my innate gifts and curating a wealth of knowledge in the fields of physical fitness, physical therapy, and somatic movement, I am pleased to serve you as you exalt your Earth-Body exercise experience. The heart of my work, Elemental Fitness Training, involves the restoration of organic movement patterns, structural re-alignment, and nervous system regulation. I teach and practice within the context an infrastructure that follows seasonal rhythms and honors the cycles of nature. The modalities & technologies that I incorporate into therapeutic sessions are diverse and varied. Your experience may include exercise prescription, fitness program design, breath re-training, somatic integration, energy attunement, intuitive medicine, myofascial release, and nervous system regulation. My practice has evolved over time to be uniquely mine with a robust assortment of tools and modalities to support your unique needs. Though I will incorporate physical therapy into our fitness training sessions, this new paradigm for movement doesn’t fit inside ‘the box’ of traditional physical therapy for the sake of reimbursement. Therefore, I am not currently able to accept your health insurance as a payor source. However, I will happily provide my services as an adjunct to any conventional healthcare offerings.
On the New Moon and Full Moon each month, I host and facilitate Cosmic Twister Circles. To support your expanded path of health and healing, I have created this specific container for you to commune with the cosmos. When we attune to the collective energies and reflect on our internal themes and stories, we open a portal to express the thoughts and feelings that might succumb to repression. These facilitated events encourage safely structured (trauma-informed) contemplation and self-expression in conscious community. In virtual ceremony (through the “temple of ZOOM”) we witness others, process emotions, and transform our limiting thoughts and beliefs. Personal reflections, when witnessed and honored by community, weave a new appreciation for the messages within our shares when held in unconditional acceptance and non-judgement. It allows for nervous system regulation which is foundational for all healing. Unresolved chronic pain is often a sign (or symptom) of an emotional barrier, subconscious limitation, or area of soul dissonance that cannot be resolved when the nervous system is highly activated (from chronic stress, for example). You may think of your symptoms as messages from your Higher Self, seeking your engagement to come to completion. We often witness the dissolution of a past situation or old story that no longer serves us. Our Cosmic Earth-Body intelligence (revealed through attuned contemplation) is a wonderous gift within these international Gaia-Galactic gatherings!
Indigenous communities have always used dance as a part of ceremony to honor and celebrate nature. Intrinsic Dance Journeys are sacred ceremonial gatherings whereby we come together with the elements of nature, calling in the divine spirit guides, to wake your wordless wonderment. Through music and movement we offer our unique human somatic creations of self-expression on astrologically relevant portals for the collective shift of our consciousness towards a New Golden Age. As facilitator, I craft a playlist of diverse music to set the stage for a full-spectrum non-verbal, no contact movement journey. Dance is an ancient form of ecstatic celebration and our synergistic creative expression connects us with our sentient earth as well as with our cosmic ancestors. Indigenous folks saw this as the most primal and potent purpose of humanity to use our Earth-Bodies as a vessels for our spiritual connectivity. With our divine creative expressions forming a connection portal, humanity becomes the missing piece (peace) which is the key to the trinity of unity consciousness; earth, human, cosmos. It is believed that when humans remember to play our sacred humanitarian role as a bridge between heaven and earth, we will return to our original divine human design to activate our latent DNA. This coming online of a Gaia-Galactic state of consciousness is necessary for humanity to express a regenerative intrinsic infrastructure of health, known as BioRegenesis. We are headed into this new paradigm to express ourselves as new versions of humanity. I know, it sounds crazy, so let’s just dance it into reality!
It’s time to bring a new paradigm of consciousness to our physical world! I had originally intended to simply bring balance to the realm of physical fitness with an appreciation for Natural Law. However, as I spent more time in nature and in meditation, it became clear that it was my mission to deliver a whole NEW multidimensional model of health through Earth-Body Movement Medicine. The physical journey may be just a small part of the broad scope of wellness, but it is also the perfect entry point into this exciting multi-dimensional model of divine health.
My forthcoming book, “Bodies of the Earth: Bringing joy and balance back to your fitness program with the Earth-Body Way” introduces you to my signature philosophy and infrastructure for nature-based movement and exercise programming. My journey from fitness enthusiast, to fitness competitor, to fitness trainer, to physiotherapist, to Earth-Body Integrator has given me a substantial amount of experience in knowing the physical body. My self-healing journey after abusing my body to the point of injury and collapse has led to my personal journey of unwinding from chronic pain and exhaustion. It has brought me into a much more comprehensive and holistic experience of being a truly healthy and whole human.
Now, I bring you ALL that I have learned to facilitate your transformation into the unique and brilliant multidimensional Earth-Body that you’re meant to be. It brings me complete and utter joy to share my wisdom, experience, and artful passion for wholeness with the humans who inhabit this beautiful planet Earth. Enjoy!
“Regenerative practices are necessary because we have become a species that is depleted and disconnected from ourselves, as well as from the earth and other living creatures. A balanced system is diverse, cyclical, and ultimately self-sustaining. My clients are blossoming into a greater version of themselves; moving with joy, ease, and vitality. You can too!” – Dr. Nic
