The Power of Gesture
Welcome to The Power of Gesture, a thriving global online community dedicated to INSPIRE and EMPOWER you to embrace personal growth and take bold risks. We are committed to unleashing The Power of Gesture within so that you can become everything you are destined to be.
The Power of Gesture helped my dancers to think outside of the box, challenge them to explore new ways of moving and communicate their emotions more effectively through movement. They gained new insights and skills that will serve them well in their future. They left feeling inspired, energized, and empowered to take their dancing to new heights.
The students connected with each other's stories that they told through their gestures, creating a deep bond and truly understanding things they might not have known before. This workshop brought them so close!

My Why
When the 2020 Covid Pandemic hit, I saw a need. People were becoming disembodied and I knew I could help!
I know what it is like to live outside of the body. To feel disempowered, disconnected yet curious about what lies beneath. I am a product of feeling deeply humiliated as a child and as a result feeling defined by those experiences. Growing up I also felt a lot of shame because I did not learn like other kids and because no one noticed, I became a master of finding coping mechanisms to navigate, escape, and hide what was going on inside.
It wasn’t until my 20’s that I hit my “rock bottom” and needed to understand what I was experiencing and why. Along my self discovery journey I unveiled a hidden gift within me – I am a Kinetic learner. This was a revelation! I finally understood how I learn and why I struggled. Kinesthetic Intelligence is one of multiple forms of intelligence. I learned that I needed to touch, feel, and experience the lessons presented so that the information could have stayed in my mind and body. This changed my life! My entire story shifted and soon I realized that I am not at all less than; that in fact, I am more than I ever thought. I began to navigate life's decisions with confidence, and chose to relearn all that I had missed. I thrived! This inner voice became my ultimate guide, steering me towards a life of authenticity and fulfilment where I embraced my true self and found the path that resonated with my heart and soul.
This is how I came to create The Power of Gesture, a method that helps people translate emotions into hand gestures which become a tangible form of expression when words are not. The Power of Gesture awakens the intuitive, strong and capable voice that lies within you. We learn, discover and reclaim who we are and who we are meant to be.
The Power of Gesture reaches dancers around the world with the clear goal to bring you home to yourself so that you can connect to the intuitive clarity that lies within you. As a dance educator and coach, I am proud to say that this practice works and I am SO excited to teach it to you!
