I am an Artist & Somatic Practitioner.
My life’s work is a deep devotion to the craft we all embody ༄
the art of being human.
I believe we are Divine by Design.
In navigating the complexities of our human experience and the fast pace of the modern world, we often find ourselves disconnected from our personal sovereignty and the pure awe of our existence.
My passion lies in facilitating spaces where we can remember the truth — that being alive is a gift.
Where movement, breath, and embodied expression return us back home to ourselves.
Where the wisdom of our bodies and the truth of our being move as one.
My Story
My body has always been my language — my means of communication, creativity, inspiration, introspection, and release. Growing up in Portland, Oregon, I dedicated over 20 hours per week to dance training, immersing myself in various techniques and performing on stages across the U.S. I had an insatiable hunger to move, express, and explore through my body. Over time, I realized that my passion for movement expanded beyond the identity of a performing artist — it was a calling to something deeper.
That calling led me to Southern California, where I studied Dance, Psychology, and Arts Education at UCLA. Since then, I have spent 10,000+ hours researching, training, teaching and guiding others through somatic practices — including Dance, Yoga, Movement Therapy, Breathwork, Somatic Energy Work, Psychotherapy, and Internal Family Systems.
What began as a love for dance has blossomed into a lifelong devotion to embodiment, healing, and expression. Whether through community classes, private sessions, retreats, teacher trainings, workshops, or virtual programs, my mission is to guide people into embodied presence – where the wisdom of their body and the truth of their being move as one.
I am deeply grateful for the teachers and mentors who have illuminated my path — Nicholas Pratley, Julianne Hough, Dr. Frank Anderson, Dr. John Amaral, Dr. Lori Baudino, Laura Haney, Erin Zintek, Gracie Whyte, Chelsey Pierce and many others — each of whom has played an integral role in shaping my journey and the work I share with the world.
My Approach
At the core of my work lies one simple truth – the body is an infinite well of wisdom.
Our bodies are both highly advanced scientific technology and ancient messengers, offering insight with every sensation, every breath, every heartbeat.
Through somatic movement, breathwork and meditation, I guide people back to the natural intelligence of their bodies as a catalyst for self-understanding, creativity, and liberation. Rooted in the values of curiosity, permission, and play, my approach invites people to soften their minds, open their hearts, and courageously embrace each and every part of themselves.
This is where embodied presence lies.
As we breathe, move, and listen, we co-create a space where healing can happen — both individually and collectively. It is an honor to witness and facilitate this transformation, again and again.

My Essence
~ Poetic Reflection ~
I am Divine by Design
My body is a vessel that transcends space and time
Surfing the waves of electromagnetic light
Guiding me through the currents of life
This world often tries to keep me blind
But I’m here to express with no confines
So I devote myself to this inner landscape of mine
Releasing the blocks
And unwinding the binds
As I practice connection through my body and mind
I allow more space to receive clear signs
Paving my path for a life I define
My unique creation
Through soul-centered eyes.
~AD
