Growing up I witnessed a lot of hatred, jealousy and hostility between women. Many of my girlfriends, including myself, befriended a lot of the males in our lives because they simply weren't petty or cruel. Having the constant need to compete with our fellow women, rather than celebrate them was heartbreaking. I knew I wanted better for myself & that women deserved better too. I grew tired of witnessing the damage society has brought upon us. Between society telling us how we should show up in the world, to basing our self worth on our appearance, I knew it was time to overrule these horrific norms and rewrite our own story - the new one! One that would heal the sister-wound and bring women back to one another.

Essence Movement Studio was born from a desire to be of full service to my community! It was created to help women through their journey to radical self love and self acceptance, while providing a community of sisters who genuinely and authentically support one another. At Essence Movement Studio we combine different modalities of movement and healing from: Breathe work, Sensual embodiment, Heels classes, Hip hop, Body love classes, Energy work and more, to really assist women along their journey to self love and pure badassery!
