Like the mythical Phoenix, my journey wasn't born from comfort—it was forged in the fire. Dancing since age 6, I lost my joy and power to a damaging relationship in my 20s, then in 2006 a severe car accident shattered my pelvis and broke my jaw.
Instead of giving up, I rebuilt myself physically and mentally—and my career took off, from ATL to NYC, teaching and touring internationally as a performer, choreographer, and artistic director of African Diaspora Dance, Dancehall, and Caribbean dance fitness. After burnout, I rose again: in 2019 I moved to Florida, became a yoga teacher and led 1,000+ hot yoga and fitness classes. In 2026 I made the ultimate move to Bahia, Brasil for wellbeing.
I founded FIYAH Movement Wellness to bridge deep somatic healing, holistic wellness, and Dance Joy in a sacred space where EveryBODY is Welcome. I have helped hundreds of women step out of the ashes and into radiant health, deep peace, and primal joy—in person and virtual.
Let's rise together.
Whether under the Brazilian sun or from home, your journey to holistic well-being starts here.
