Ceremonial Somatics

Enlivening creativity through dance, bodywork, energy healing, plant medicine, performance and therapeutic arts

Embodiment ritual to regulate our essential rhythms…

We have an inherent ability to heal, build resilience, share resources, and adapt within the presence of a supportive ecosystem. My mission focuses on creating spaces that align with these essential energies that allow us to thrive. Through various therapeutic arts such as dance, bodywork, energy healing, and plant medicine, I relish in the many ways we can initiate this miraculous process of returning to balance.

Hi I’m Violet!

Greeting each moment with gratitude for the opportunity to share the gifts of embodiment. My life’s work focuses to enliven creative potency and healing capacity within our world. The spaces I facilitate range with qualities of serenity, ecstasy, catharsis, hilarity, sensuality, visionary, transformation, and ancient remembrance. Our bodies hold restorative capabilities that only our movement, stillness, collaboration and presence can evoke. We have built in systems to balance our natural rhythm and rewire repetitive stress response mechanisms, it just requires us to feel held in a supportive environment. My role holds a strong container for each individual to feel empowered to follow to their intuitive guidance, while providing a grounded, connective space to resource helpful tools and inspiration. 

Ceremony provides the framework within all of my creative offerings. Through deep listening, reciprocity, clear intent, cyclical calibration, alignment with helping forces, reverence for the essence of creation and diversity within existence, I orient to what feels optimal. This formula brings greater understanding of resonance, right relationship and trains the felt sense of our F&%K YES. I hold the utmost importance in supporting others through this process of developing self trust.

My practice has shaped through many diverse healing situations and studies navigating the nuanced process of unwinding trauma patterns . As someone who has moved through great triumph in my own wellness journey, it has felt miraculous to experience the way we can restore vitality after moving through chronic illness and severe trauma when we learn to truly listen to our inner voice. Surrendering with faith in the primal instinct of the body, allows me to drop into a flow state, moving to free up stuck energy within and around me. As this happens, I sense greater fluency and potency wherever I decide to direct my energy. It lights me up to offer this transmission as an ally for others through their revival and activation of their gifts. I devote myself to the path of living in harmony through, holistic life practice, intuitive movement, and meaningful purpose.

Dance

Teachings

Performance Art

Dance has taken me on a profound healing journey of body, mind, emotion, and spirit. I believe movement expresses a universal language that opens communication with all of creation and activates the elements within us to bring our true vibrance to life. In an enchanting exploration of the mystery of flow state, I facilitate a path of self-discovery and unity with the essence of existence through dance.

Nature offers the greatest muse for my movement development. Guided by principles of yoga, ceremonial practice, body/energywork, earth tending and internal martial arts, I share these practices as nourishment to feed the hunger that heals, to celebrate creative liberty and align us with our most vital expression.

As a "fusion" dancer, I embrace an array of styles, integrating various forms of belly dance, studio hip hop, modern, jazz, ballet, acrobatics, flow arts, and continuing to grow with new inspiration from around the world. With over 20 years of technical training, and endless dedication to refining my gifts, I have studied, facilitated, collaborated and performed with numerous groups within the realms of dance, ritual theater, burlesque, acrobatics, fire spinning, and have persevered through intensive commitments of ceremonial movement practice both locally and globally.

Whether facilitating, performing, developing choreography, improvising, or simply conditioning, I believe our motion holds the power to unwind trauma, process emotions, channel prayer, manifest our reality, and ignite our intuition to bring greater harmony to our lives.

Bodywork

Energetics

Sharing serenity, deep presence, and allowing another to fully relax into my care feels profoundly purposeful in our world today. I intend to provide restorative space and a myriad of modalities to dissolve restrictive trauma responses and recalibrate the bio rhythms for the body to return to its optimal flow state. The art of healing remains a lifelong study, however I’ve spent the past 14 years refining my professional practice through developing in techniques such as Craniosacral, Myofacial Release,Thai Yoga Bodywork, Reflexology, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point, Swedish Massage, ACE Cupping, Visceral Manipulation, Aromatherapy, Sound Healing, Breathwork, Reiki, Chi Gong, Dance Therapeutics, Yoga and Meditation. Merging therapeutic based embodiment practices, with intuitive energetic principles, I curate an integrative experience that empowers vibrance within the whole self. Sessions are custom crafted to promote revival, relaxation, and a deeper sense of healing awareness.
