My Story

From the moment I could walk, I was drawn to dance. It was as if my body already knew the rhythm of the earth, the pulse of life moving through me. Naturally, as I grew older, this love blossomed into a career. I thrived in the world of commercial dance, where rigorous training pushed my body to its edges, and I marveled at its capabilities. But within that world, there was little space for honoring my body’s wisdom, its natural limits. In the high-pressure dance industry, the mantra was always “go hard or go home.” Our bodies were seen as tools, vessels of performance, not sacred homes for our spirit.

 

There was no room for the authentic expression of self, no value placed on embodied movement, and it wasn’t long before I grew weary of being told how to move, how to look, and how to show up. While I am grateful for those wild years of traveling the world and sharing incredible moments with amazing people, I felt, deep in my bones, that I had surrendered a significant part of myself to fit into a world that didn’t honor the fullness of who I was.

 

It was then that my true awakening began.

 

I turned inward, exploring both ancient traditions and modern science. I immersed myself in studies of neuropsychology, counseling, yoga, meditation, energy healing, embodiment practices, nature connection, trauma healing, and sacred feminine arts. Through this journey, I discovered the deep, untamed landscape of my body—a place of freedom, a sanctuary where I was held by both my own hands and the embrace of Mother Earth. I began to listen to my body, to hear the whispers it had always sent me. Slowly, I started to honor these messages, making choices that nourished rather than depleted me.

 

As my dance career was coming to a close, I felt called to deepen my understanding of the mind-body connection. I pursued a psychology degree at Brunel University, and as I worked as an assistant clinical psychologist in the NHS, I noticed a pattern—talk therapy alone often wasn’t enough. Something was missing. The body, the nervous system, the need for community support—these essential elements were overlooked, stifling true, lasting healing. This realization shaped my approach to healing, guiding me to work holistically, where mind, body, and spirit could unite in the process.

 

This calling led me to yoga, where I decided to become a teacher. Yoga has always been an anchor in my life, even when my practice wasn’t consistent. It was on my mat, in the stillness between breaths, that I found a connection with myself that was difficult to access in the busyness of life. Yoga, movement, ceremony, and nature-based rituals have all led me back home to my body—relearning how to move from a place of grace, how to listen, how to nurture. They taught me to honor the messages my body communicates with me each day, with deep gratitude for its wisdom.

 

Pregnancy, birth, and motherhood have been my greatest teachers. Though my first two births were deeply challenging, my third was a turning point. I embraced ancient practices, sacred ceremonies, and trusted the wisdom of my body and my intuition. Surrendering fully to the process allowed for a birth that was profoundly different—one filled with bliss, empowerment, and a deep sense of peace. Motherhood has been the most transformative experience of my life, reminding me that in order to mother others, I must first mother myself. These sacred experiences have forever shifted my being, and it is from this place that I feel deeply called to share these teachings with you.

 

We are the medicine we seek. We are sacred. We are whole.

 

Together, we walk this path of remembering, weaving the most intricate and beautiful tapestry of our lives. Thank you for answering the call to rise. Thank you for being here, in this sacred space with me.

 

With love and gratitude,

Victoria
