My Journey: Movement, Life, Study & Becoming

My path into this work didn’t begin in a studio — it began in life.

At 18 years old, I moved to Paris as an au pair.
That year cracked my world open. I lived abroad, learned independence, saw the beauty and the brokenness of the modeling world through friends who were trying to break into it, and discovered philosophy, spirituality, and the early threads of somatic curiosity. In between taking care of 3 young children, I sat in the grass in Bois de Boulogne park and read Alan Watts and the IChing.

After Paris, I moved to Colorado for a year — another season of grit, growth, and getting to know myself through experience instead of textbooks. In Co, I skied and read Taoism and ruth montgomery books and anything I could get me hands on about spiritual awakening

When I came back to Texas, I finally knew what I wanted:

Movement. Healing. Truth.

That’s when I enrolled at the University of Houston–Clear Lake (UHCL) and earned my degree in modern dance — because movement and riding horses had always been therapy for me, long before I had language for it.

And woven through all these years was the beginning of my somatic and spiritual lineage:

I started studying sound, color, and vibration with William David in college, and continued in LA and Sedona.
Those early teachings seeded a lifelong understanding that the body holds frequency, memory, and emotion.

After graduating from UHCL, I moved to Los Angeles, where another layer of learning began.

LA wasn’t just about acting classes at the Mark Monroe Studio or performing with a theater group in Venice — though those experiences taught me emotional honesty and presence.

More than anything, LA taught me:

• How emotions live in the body

• How to read truth somatically

• How to survive, adapt, and rise

• How breath shifts state

• How embodiment changes identity

• How to keep going when life doesn’t go as planned

It was emotional education in the real world.

From there, my healing lineage expanded:

• David Elliott — breathwork and emotional clearing

• Yoga, Pilates, pranayama

• Fascia and nervous system science

• Somatic workshops in Kauai, Sedona, and LA

• Spiritual study, philosophy, movement therapy

• A lifetime of seeking truth in the body

Every mentor, every practice, every season pointed toward the same truth:

Your body is the doorway.
Your nervous system is the map.
You can heal because you were designed to.

And Christ said it plainly:

“Greater works than these shall you do.” — John 14:12
“I am the way, the truth, and the life.” — John 14:6

He was pointing to design —
to the divine intelligence within the body,
to the healing blueprint encoded in your cells.

But nothing brought that truth into reality the way covert narcissistic abuse did.

That trauma didn’t just break my heart —
it broke my nervous system.
It showed me the patterns, the loops, the emotional ruts that run you until you learn how to interrupt them.

And because I couldn’t think my way out, or talk my way out, I had to move my way out.

Everything I’d spent a lifetime studying — movement, breath, color, vibration, Pilates, fascia, trauma, somatics, faith — suddenly converged.

That convergence became:

Why this workbook matter?

Why This Workbook Matters — And Why You Need It

You’re not here by accident.
If you’ve lived through covert narcissistic abuse, emotional neglect, anxiety, freeze, or overwhelm, you already know:

•  Talking about the pain doesn’t change it.
• Your body keeps the score.

• Your nervous system holds the pattern.

That’s why I created Motion of Emotion™ — a practical somatic system built from my life’s work in movement, breath, color, sound, vibration, fascia, psychology, and faith.

This workbook exists because:

•  Trauma lives in the body → healing has to reach the body.
• Emotional loops run on repetition → you need a method that rewires them.

• Narcissistic abuse disrupts your nervous system → you need a system that restores it.

• You don’t need a guru → you need tools that return you to yourself.

• Your story deserves clarity → not shame.

Motion of Emotion™ helps you:

•  Identify trauma patterns through color
• Break emotional loops

• Rewire your nervous system

• Release stored emotional vibration

• Build new emotional rhythms

• Return to the woman God designed you to be

This is not therapy.
This is not mindset work.
This is somatic + spiritual recalibration.

You can do this at home, at your pace, with your own body.
You become your own Body Llama — your own inner healer.
