Movement has always been my love language. I grew up immersed in sport: football, tennis, squash and gymnastics. It was only later, at university, when dance entered my life. I found friends and community in salsa and Brazilian Zouk, and these experiences have shaped me deeply. For over 15 years I’ve taught, travelled, and learned Zouk from around the world, exploring connection, musicality, and relational intelligence through the body. Dance became not just something I did, but my way of being: listening, relating, and understanding how life and energy circulate.

​

I was raised with an entrepreneurial spirit, trying, failing, building, and trying again. From technology projects to dance communities and educational spaces, I’ve always been drawn to bringing people together through consciousness and belonging. This path eventually gave birth to the House of Zoukies: a living ecosystem where movement, connection, education, and wellbeing meet.

Underneath it all runs a deep fascination with the science of life itself. I studied sport science and material science at university, which later opened into a passion for quantum biology, circadian rhythms, and the natural intelligence that regulates health - when the body is in rhythm with light, movement, rest, and the environment. I’ve trained in mindfulness, embodiment, dance therapy, authentic-relating, conscious communication, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), always with the goal to embody theory. My work today is about creating the conditions where the innate intelligence of life and the human body can be felt, trusted, and expressed.
