I was born in California and followed the typical path — I went to college, got my degrees in engineering, got a job, and experimented in different regimes trying to build my career. On the outside, I was successful, intelligent, high-functioning, and appeared to have it all together. Something foundational was always missing on the inside, however. I battled anorexia, bulimia, and other forms of addiction and self-abuse starting at a very early age for years, unable to see my own worth, my own gifts, and my own purpose and place in the world. I always came close to healing, but would then find myself back at the bottom, repeating the same cycle and pattern. I knew there was something I was missing, something more, and I was determined to discover for myself what that was. I founded Natural Cadence while engaged in my own pursuit of this deep Truth. My own seeking of something underneath the surface. Something that I knew was there, but that I could not see at the time. Something that I knew I had to know for myself before being able to authentically move forward in my external life with strength, courage, trust, faith, and inner solidity. I began my work in the dark, during one of the most chaotic and painful periods of my Life – a time when I felt utterly lost, alone, afraid, uncertain, and broken. Through the arduous process of healing my own deep-seated internal wounds and trauma – the weathering of many storms and the continued choice to change my life – I discovered what was there all along, waiting silently in the background. Movement, in its many forms, was a guiding light for me through everything — the good and the bad — pouring through the lattice of my emotions to break things all the way open and offering a safe haven. The externalization of Movement — physically, creatively, and spiritually — gave me sacred opportunities for true healing, knowing, and understanding. I aim to pay forward the lessons learned on my own Path — by breaking down, rather than building up — the walls that separate us from what is True in ourselves and to share and celebrate in Movement and all that it gives. I hope you embrace what is here, discover for yourself what I speak to, and find the same sense of direction, healing, fulfillment, grace, inner wisdom, and Love.
