The body follows the mind and the heart. Doing that
which makes us truly happy in spirit, will lead to peace
in the mind, success in body and allow us to maximize
our creative potential.
Journey journey journey…this is my mantra. I’m learning
about baby steps…to slow down in my mad passion for life
and learning and to soak up each moment as it happens.
Always a student, I endeavor to discover that which I
truly love, and pursue it. I trust my instinct,
take risks, and trust the universe ~ what initially
appears disastrous is often a gift in disguise.
I have made my passion my work. I perform and teach
Belly Dance full time and have found independence in my
creativity - and creativity in my independence. I
recently combined my two great loves in one stunning
project; a Belly Dance Art Film.

I
was quite an ill individual who ceased to have faith
in allopathic medicine. So, I tapped "mother
nature's natural pharmacy" and exercise to
find my way back to optimal health. And did I
stop there? No.
I challenged myself to be in the best shape I could
be - to hopefully be an example to all - that
someone can actually leave the hospital (all drugged
up) to then recover and work toward stage
performance as a FAME Pro Bikini Model!!
I realized how blessed
I am, so I'm competing on stage and using this
spotlight to bring attention to one of my passions,
humanitarian work. One of the non-profit
organizations that I am so proud to associate with
is Ministro Humanitarian Foundation.
My
degrees say that I am a doctor in various areas,
while my heart and soul say that I'm a humanitarian
and that I'm in LOVE with life, each and everyday! |

Fitness
and a healthy lifestyle should be an
essential part of everyone’s life.
There is nothing I love more than helping

weight problems to special needs
bodybuilders. I have found my calling

camps, or one on one lifestyle coaching.
I could not imagine doing any thing else.

I’ve
always been active and spent much of my life ‘performing’ in
some capacity….however, it was when I started to apply my
driven, goal-oriented nature toward taking good care of my
body that I really started to see harmony all around.
My primary motivation for eating well comes from within – I
noticed huge differences in my general health, and my asthma
in particular, as I began to embrace a clean and balanced
nutritional strategy. However, the spinoff effects of a
clean diet when combined with active living have been a
great benefit on the OUTSIDE as well as inside!
I can
honestly say that in my early thirties, I now feel younger,
healthier and more alive than when I was a teenager. I have
so much more energy – and as an athlete, my strength,
agility and athleticism have increased immensely. Who can
argue with that...?!?!?!

It has taken a few
years for me to realize that training as a fitness
competitor isn't 12 weeks out from the show and then
let it all drop off after the show is over.
Eating isn't about
entertainment its about fueling your body so it can
function properly. I decided that I want to live a
healthy life style. That doesn't mean only eating
chicken and broccoli. It means finding healthy
foods that you like and combining them with other
foods that compliment them.
I love that the BodyArt
meals are only one or two servings. They are easy
to prepare and taste great."
Fitness has always been
a part of my life and will continue to be a part as
long as I am able. Nothing is more fulfilling or
satisfying then walking out of the gym knowing that
I just completed a work out and I feel great. And
even more so, walking onto a stage and know that all
the hard work I've done has paid off, regardless of
the placing I receive.

Sometimes I just feel so bound up in the physical body,
so restricted. Physical activity whether it be dance,
circus training, cardio, yoga, strength training etc
gives me a way to break free from that; to get out of my
body, to feel its lightness … even if sometimes it is
just momentarily.
It's taken awhile to get
there because training used to be a means that binded
me. When I was going through an eating disorder and the
years that followed training was about controlling the
body - not liberating myself through it. |

I
believe that "fitness" is unique to each individual.
For some
people fitness is about feeling strong and for other's it's
achieving a certain weight loss goal. And yet there are others
that are just looking to find the joy of life in exercise and the
peace of knowing they are doing something good for themselves.
For me, I
am motivated by the desire to inspire, encourage, and motivate
others. The best way to do that is to lead by example!

My practice is
not always easy but it is always the truth, a mirror
into my life, a direct reflection of where I am at in
the present moment.
In a difficult
pose when I am struggling with every bone of my being to
hold on, I go inside with my breath and become aware of
my resistance. I feel myself at war just trying to
survive and win at all costs, and then with a deep
exhale I let it go. No judgment. Being a wife, mother,
daughter, sister and friend is no different, there are
moments when we begin to lose control; however my
practice has given me that option of just simply
breathing and being fully present to my thoughts and
actions. Yoga creates space for conciousness and this
will change your life and the world around you.
The Truth
is there is no magic pill or perfect exercise. Find
something that feeds both your body and your soul,
continue to be honest with yourself and commit. I
sincerely believe that anybody can accomplish anything
they dream, if the intention and willingness is there.

The feeling of being healthy is what
motivates me everyday. In 2007 I took it to
a new level of competing in fitness. The
journey through this process has been such a
life lesson of discipline and self
fulfillment.
I have learned how important it is to stay
active and eat healthy as my way of fighting
the everyday struggles of life. Everyone's
life can go up and down day to day. Exercise
is something that gives me energy and I know
exactly what types of foods my body needs to
keep my energy consistent. I don't get the
highs and lows like people can from eating
sweets or fast foods. I eat just enough to
fulfill my body, but not too much to feel
completely full, and bring down my energies.
If everything in my life is not going great
I know that I can still hold on to
exercising and eating right. This is
something that I can do for myself.
The BodyArt Cookbook was actually the first one
that I bought to get myself into all of this!

I want people to feel inspired
... to free their spirit...to grow in every direction.
Dance
is an expression of the
heart and soul.
Truly magnificent performers
dance from this place.
Fusion
Bellydance aims to
shift paradigms...transcending
the limitations
of body consciousness and
opening to a realm greater than ego. This
realm touches the soul of any audience, inspiring people to remember
the passion that burns within.
My main
message is that Bellydance is a beautiful and rich artform
that can be enjoyed by any body regardless of gender, age,
height, weight, color, or sexual preferance. The aim of my
classes is to empower the student to utilize and accentuate
the gifts of their own incredible body in an environment
that supports creative and spiritual growth through
movement.
Blessings

- I am honored to say that this is my life and I
am "living the dream"! I love to share my
knowledge of training and high performance. My
passion comes from working with people to find and
connect with the profound wisdom that our physical
bodies manifest. Altering perceptions, creating
vision and inspiring others to take their health,
wellness, and whatever idea they have of fitness to
whatever level is right for them.
-
I
am inspired and driven by my love of movement and
the deep respect I have for the human body. I
had my pelvic floor completely re-built after the
birth of my son and the journey back to health has
been empowering. My two children Alexa and
Mateo have been my greatest teachers.
At
43 years “young” I know that we all need to find our
own balance and enjoy the journey of the “divine”
feminine. This means learning to honor and
respect our sensuality and taking great joy in the
shifting and changing of body, mind and spirit.
I've learnt that we are all the same and that to
find our deepest compassion and empathy is truly to
find peace. Be true to yourself. Listen
deeply. Look up and look in....
