WELCOME TO YOUR BODY LOVE PORTAL
WELCOME TO YOUR BODY LOVE PORTAL
COME HOME TO YOUR BODY. COME HOME TO YOURSELF.
Hi and Welcome! This is a brave somatic space where you can show up exactly as you are, move through whatever you're going through, and find a gentle space to land.
I’m a Dance Embodiment & Moving Meditation Guide.
In a world where we’re constantly told how to feel, act, and be,
I build sacred containers for you to show up exactly as you are, and process whatever you are going through.
I remind you of your beauty and power by witnessing your presence and the ever-changing awe it inspires.
I create blocks of time for you to play and explore with spaciousness, curiosity, and wonder.
I guide you to come home to your body, to tap into its infinite wisdom, and remember who you are.
Welcome to this adventure of healing, self-discovery, and rewilding through the power of dance and somatic movement.
<Start here.> Take a pause. Blink your eyes a few times, then inhale deeply, letting the air fill your belly. Wiggle your toes. Send your exhale out through your limbs. Gently rotate your neck to look side to side. Notice a layer of sound and take another breath.
What Is the Body Love Portal?
Here, we create trauma-informed containers where you are witnessed, held, and celebrated for your integrative wholeness. Fancy words for saying “everything that YOU ARE and want to be or express” — Even the heavier, darker, murkier stuff that has been shunned away or is hard to explain, express, love on, or put words to at times.
That transient place between your inner world and your outer world.
Where all your deepest desires, hopes, dreams, alter egos, and personalities all get a seat at the table.
It can be a space to play in.
A space to explore.
A space to connect with all the sparks, inklings, and whispers of yearning that swirl around
and tickle your senses, before begging you to answer:
How do you want to show up for yourself today?

Love & Reflections
"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 and become exceptionally aware of your body and spirit. You can tell she has a true love and passion for this work. I'm hooked." - P.P.
"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.
