I Help Women Embody Their Femininity
My mission is to guide women back into their bodies through the practice of pole dance—creating spaces where they can explore, express, and embody their femininity with confidence and freedom.
In many social, relational, and cultural contexts, femininity is often suppressed or misunderstood. Over time, this can create a quiet disconnection—one that many women don’t even realize they’re carrying. I believe femininity is sacred. It deserves to be honoured, explored, and expressed without shame.
Pole dance became a catalyst for that reconnection in my own life.
Through my journey, I not only deepened my relationship with my body and sensuality, but also began to navigate and heal parts of myself shaped by past experiences, including sexual trauma. It offered me a space to rebuild trust with my body, to feel safe in my expression, and to reclaim my sense of sensuality on my own terms.
That experience changed everything.
It led me to my purpose: to create spaces where other women can experience that same sense of reconnection, empowerment, and healing.
At the heart of my work is community. I am deeply committed to cultivating environments where women support, uplift, and celebrate one another—moving away from comparison and into connection. My intention is to create spaces that feel safe, empowering, and expansive.
Because there is power in embodiment.
And there is profound healing in coming home to yourself.
My Journey
– Gymnastics coach –
My journey in movement began with gymnastics, where I trained and competed in power tumbling at a national level. In 2010, I began coaching and went on to build 10 years of full-time coaching experience.
I worked with athletes of all ages and levels—from recreational students to competitive gymnasts—while also providing private training for dancers, cheerleaders, and advanced athletes refining their skills.
This chapter laid the foundation for my coaching career. It gave me a deep understanding of body mechanics, skill progression, and how to work with a wide range of bodies and learning styles—tools that continue to shape my teaching today.
– Yoga teacher & handstand coach –
My introduction to yoga marked a shift—not just in how I moved, but in how I related to myself.
After committing to a consistent practice, I completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2015 and later earned my E-RYT 200 certification. Yoga deepened my understanding of the body while introducing me to breath, presence, and mindfulness. It became a gateway into spirituality and a more connected relationship with my self.
As I transitioned into teaching yoga full-time, I began specializing in handstands and flexibility—blending my gymnastics background with my yoga practice. This evolved into an 8+ year career, where I taught many classes across Toronto, worked with private clients globally, co-led teacher trainings, and hosted workshops and retreats internationally.
This chapter also marked the beginning of my entrepreneurial journey—building my own platforms, developing my voice as a teacher, and creating offerings rooted in both movement and self-connection.
– Pole dance instructor & performer –
In 2021, I discovered pole dance while searching for a new creative outlet—and it quickly became so much more than that.
What started as curiosity turned into a deep passion. From my first inversion, I felt a spark that combined everything I loved about movement with something entirely new: expression, sensuality, and performance.
Within a year, I began performing and soon discovered a love for choreography and the stage. Since then, I’ve performed in many shows, private events, on stage with artists such as Valiant, and competitions, including placing 2nd in the 2025 Skripped Down Sensual Pro category and 2nd at the 2024 CPAC Nationals (Heels category).
But beyond the titles and performances, pole became a deeply personal practice.
It allowed me to connect with my sensuality and femininity in a way no other modality had. It gave me space to explore, to express, and to feel—without judgment. It became not only a creative outlet, but a tool for self-discovery and healing.
My Approach
fEMBODY
Today, as an international pole instructor, I bring together my background in gymnastics, yoga, and handstands to offer classes that are both technical and rooted in embodiment. My teaching blends structure and precision with exploration and expression—guiding students to not only build skill, but to develop a deeper, more intentional connection with their bodies.
In my classes, you’ll find detailed progressions designed to meet you at your level, breaking down advanced movements in a way that feels accessible, supportive, and far less intimidating.
Stylistically, my movement is grounded in strength and control, with a strong emphasis on clean lines and technical execution—while still leaving space for sensuality, fluidity, and expression. I’m deeply drawn to anything that flows, whether on static or spin pole, and I naturally gravitate toward heels as a primary medium for expression. My choreography blends elements of old school and flow, and weaves together slow, sultry moments with dynamic, powerful movements.
fEMBODY was created as an extension of my journey—a space where movement, femininity, and healing intersect.
Through fEMBODY Experiences, I produce pole shows, retreats, and community events designed to bring individuals together in powerful, supportive environments. These experiences are rooted in connection, expression, and community—offering more than just training, but transformation.
I also offer a virtual platform on fEMBODY Studio with on-demand tutorials, live classes, and workshops, making this work accessible to individuals around the world.
Whether in-person or online, my intention remains the same: to create spaces where individuals feel safe to explore, express, and fully embody their femininity.
