Did you know belly dancing has so many health benefits? It strengthens muscle groups and trains them to do their job properly, it loosens fascia, it moves lymph, it engages your brain, calms the nervous system, builds stamina, builds connection when done in a group, and so much more!
Drumming also has many health benefits too like calming the nervous system, challenges the left and right sides of the brain, builds neuroplasticity, vibrational healing, boosts endorphins and the immune system, builds community connection, and so much more. Curious? Come join us for these unique and fun classes!

It’s Invisible/Hidden Disabilities Week! There are many people who look like they are OK but they are not. Hidden disabilities come in many forms and this list is just a very small one, as there are so many more that could be included here. An invisible disability is a physical, mental, or neurological condition that is not immediately obvious to an observer, yet can significantly limit a person’s daily activities. These conditions include chronic illnesses, mental health disorders, cognitive differences, and sensory impairments.
Many individuals choose to wear the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower lanyard or badge, recognized internationally via the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Network, to signal discreetly that they may need extra patience or support or more processing time at the airport or in other public places. So if you see a lanyard or a tag or something that looks similar to this, smile and be friendly to this person and give them extra allowances. As someone who has a number of these conditions, I have good days and bad days. And I work with a large clientele who have visible and invisible disabilities, so I just want to raise awareness for others.

Once upon a time, I was a professional percussionist. What started out as a way to embrace my masculine side became a reconnection with the most ancient instrument that was first the domain of women and the Divine Feminine. I’ve taken a long hiatus since my last drumming gig, but recently I picked up drumming again, out in our newly built, Howlly House, a Pacific Northwest room my husband built where our old wolfdog kennel and run was. It’s been so relaxing, healing,and calming to my nervous system to drum around a fire pit where my beloved wolfdogs used to live.❤️‍🩹
Back in the day, I studied quite a bit with Layne Redmond, and I loved her meditative and spiritual approach to the frame drum, reclaiming part of a priestess path with this ancient instrument. I am teaching a one day workshop that includes a bellydance class and a frame drum class on Saturday, November 21. I’ll be covering the different sounds these drums make, how they relate to metaphysical elements and chakras, and how you can use a drum in your meditative and spiritual practice at home. There will be drums to borrow and purchase so get your early bird ticket now for only $60! Early bird pricing ends November 1 and there are only four spots left. Is one of them yours? I can’t wait to drum and dance with you! Link in bio or here:

Did you know the first drummers were actually women? My main frame drum teacher, Layne Redmond, wrote a book called When the Drummers Were Women. I was blessed and privileged and honored that I got to study with her back in Florida.
This is a workshop I also used to teach in Florida. It was part of a Drums Not Drugs program for at-risk women and teens. I have never taught it out here in the Pacific Northwest so this will be a first and I can’t wait to share this with you! This workshop is part of Dance and Drum Day on November 21. Early bird pricing for both workshops and the Improvisational Dance and Drum Jam is only $60. There are only four spots left! Is one yours? Come play with us! Link in bio or here:

Let’s normalize glasses for performance! 🤓 They are a disability aid. As someone with hEDS, my eyesight tanked in fifth grade. I went from being able to see the chalkboard from the back of class to barely being able to read it from the front row. Over the summer that year, I went to the eye doctor and was diagnosed with a high level of astigmatism and myopia, near-sightedness. This could have been one of the early signals of my connective tissue disorder. I returned to school wearing coke bottle thick glasses and no one recognized me. During my entire dance career, I never performed wearing my glasses. I hated them. I’ve struggled with all different kinds of contacts since my sophomore year of high school and lately bad MCAS issues in my eyes. Now, I only wear contacts for special occasions when my eyes are in a good place.
Which brings me to the Day of Dance and Drum, coming up on November 21, which is geared towards people with connective tissue disorders.

Wishing you a wonderful Harvest Full Moon! 🌕 Here is my exciting news! (I’m actually a little nervous so please be kind.) After decades of keeping my music and dance career completely separate from my massage therapy and healing modalities career because I feared people’s misconceptions, I’m ready to step out of the shadows of semi-retirement to integrate dance and drum into my healing practice! 🥳
Some of you may recall that I performed and taught bellydance and drumming from coast to coast many moons ago. After being honored to perform at the Portlandia Mermaid Parade this year, the inspiration came to create something safe for Hypermobile people. Since I’ve learned I have hEDS, I’ve become a bodywork specialist for people who have this connective tissue disorder. Now I’m ready to introduce the healing aspects of movement , meditation, and drum rhythms and techniques to help others with this condition. These workshops are perfect for anyone who needs a gentle, anatomy-based, therapeutic, wellness approach to movement and meditation! I’m excited to see where this experiment goes and hope it can help others and also create a like-minded community in north Clark County. So check it out on the Wellness page of my website and save your spot early!

I am in denial about it possibly being the beginning of fall because it feels like we did not get a full summer. Not enough mermaid days because it would be super hot during the week while I was working and then the weekends would be cool and/or rainy. But here we are, approaching the harvest full moon, and we just had the autumn equinox. The leaves are starting to turn and show us how beautiful it is to change and let go of what is not serving us well and embrace what we want to harvest as we prepare for the dark part of the year. I have some exciting news that will be announced on the Full Moon 🌕 so stay tuned! May you find beauty, bliss, and balance during the seasonal transition. 🍂🍁🍂
