My Story

I grew up in a small suburb of Sydney where I fell in love with ballet, discovering how much I could express through movement. I've always been a bookworm and a romantic, and my love for stories led me to explore various art forms. I danced around the world with the ballet companies: Bejart Ballet Lausanne, The Royal Ballet, Scottish Ballet, and the West Australian Ballet and eventually started my own dance company in Perth with my partner, where I combined dance, words, music, and art into performances finding a personal expression all my own. During this time, I began writing for dance publications, talking about issues I encountered over my career. I also started my teaching journey, wanting to help students experience dance in new and exciting ways. Life brought me to America through a relationship and a marriage through which I discovered a whole new world and source of inspiration—the incredible journey of womanhood and motherhood- the emotions of love, pain, loss, and strength within a woman's story that fuel my creativity.
