NEXT EVENT: AN INTROVERTS' DANCE PARTY: ECSTATIC DANCE EAST LA 〰️
COME HOME TO YOUR BODY
Welcome to the Body Love Portal! This is a brave space where you can show up exactly as you are, move through whatever you're going through, and find a gentle space to land.
No matter what time zone or where you are in the world, I love to create portals of time/space that are intentional, somatic-centered, and solely focused on you.
These are containers built to encourage you to breathe mindfully, move bravely, connect deeply, and explore your creative, emotional, spiritual, or erotic and sensual energy.
This is a space to play in again. A space to explore. A space to connect with all the sensations, inklings, and whispers of desire that inform how you want to show up in the world and for yourself.
This is a trauma-informed space where you are celebrated for your integrative wholeness. Fancy words for everything YOU ARE—even the heavier, darker, murkier stuff that has been shunned away or is hard to explain, express, love on, or even put words to at times.
I invite you to dance, shake, wiggle, scream, writhe, undulate, swamp, giggle, cry, pout, or scream it out with me. Let’s let our body’s innate and exquisite wisdom do the talking.
TESTIMONIALS
"Dance from the Heart [Spiritual Flow] is a delightful process: learning to be present using dance, movement, music, and meditation. I highly recommend it for people interested in sharing, community, and as a way to help alleviate stress and anxiety." - Analise Taylor.
"This [series] was so accessible, and so needed during COVID. I loved having a space to show up and move my body without being told to *push* my body. Having these 90 minutes every week to connect to a specific thing I wanted to manifest, and then move with it was invaluable--I started painting more and finally launched a profile for people to commission art from me. I got really clear on what it was I wanted to offer people in my own movement practice, and to whom I wanted to offer. I battle daily with ruts, and having this to help me move through them in a safe space helped me prioritize taking care of myself more, and inspired habits that help keep me grounded in the pursuit of my goals and desires." - M.
"The Body Love Portal [Series] Workshop was my first introduction to dance as embodied movement and meditation, and it totally exceeded expectations. Right off the bat, Janet makes you feel comfortable, accepted, and supported. It's amazing that whatever you're dealing with (or not dealing with) when you show up will get worked out through your body in the session. I've cried, I've screamed, and I've joyously jumped up and down. Janet's excellent music selections and masterful verbal cues really help you tap into the present moment as well as become exceptionally aware of your body and spirit. You can tell she has a true love and passion for this work. I'm hooked."

"I’ve had the opportunity to work with Janet in both Dance From the Heart and Sensual Movement classes, and I’m so grateful for all I’ve discovered about my capacity for pleasure and expression with my body. Janet is a gifted teacher! They hold space with genuine joy and appreciation for all you bring to your time together. She invites and guides with gentleness, and their embodiment practices validate and affirm. I can’t wait to keep learning from and with Janet."
- Jessica P. Poet and public school educator (she/her)
“Janet is so fully herself that she gives everyone else permission to do the same. The choices she offers, in terms of chatting in thoughts or coming off mute and camera on or off for privacy, <in virtual classes> creates a space where safety and comfort exist in a way that it also feels safe to take small risks.” - S.
