Discover From The Inside Out …

… a 22 minute short film that gives a peek into the world of conscious burlesque through the eyes of seven women who’ve created and performed burlesque solos as a route to healing, empowerment and coming home to their bodies.

highly sensitive women helpers like you who are looking for psychological growth and spiritual empowerment and, even if you’re a bit intimidated, you’re drawn to creative expression such as dance, improv and costume-like-clothing and glitter as well as embodied movement-based practices.

are instinctively drawn to dance & performance as expression, yet are convinced they don’t have the necessary training, skill or guts to do it well (or to the level they imagine would feel wonderful)

chronically over-manage, over-edit & over-give and have a hard time saying ‘no’ to helping people and they feel burned out in their life
have a lot to say, yet express about 10-30% (or 1-3%!) of it. It’s important to them that others understand what they mean. Being misunderstood is so uncomfortable for them.

have been trying with all their might, mind, body & life force to make everything OK for everyone & are beginning to realize that that’s a dead end, impossible mission.
get it that “self-care” is important, and want to do it with more sizzle & vivaciousness than meditation & yoga alone offers.
are suffering from injured instinct, and are keen to rediscover their voice and trust themselves.
have “been there”with therapy (perhaps years or decades, even) and still don’t have the change they wish.

You want to feel good about taking up space and being seen

You want to feel comfortable and at peace in your own skin.
You desire to accept, feel beautiful & comfortable in and love your own body
You’re ready to shift your focus from surviving to thriving
You’re set to let perfectionism go, stop waiting your turn, & enjoy the journey as much as the goal
You’re game to stop looking outside yourself for validation and begin sourcing your acceptance from your Source
You’re ready to quit editing your body, voice & spirit to allow your radiant essence to shine & begin creating the life you desire

I have a special place in my heart for women who yearn to trust & express themselves with confidence & radiance, who light up whenever they see the intersection of art, psyche and spirit, are drawn to Hafiz & ecstatic, mystical poetry.

Those who are into typing systems & self-knowledge systems like the Enneagram, Archetypes, Astrology, Oracles & Tarot and whose attention is rapt when they read or listen to Ane Axford, Angeles Arrien, Bessel Van Der Kolk, Bonnie Badenoch, Carl Buchheit, Carla Camou, Caroline Casey, Charles Eisenstein, Gabor Mate, Jamie Wheal, Khalil Gibran, Marion Woodman, Sarah Peyton, and who have a well-worn copy of Women Who Run With the Wolves.

I started Showgirl Awakening because I couldn’t find both a safe & satisfying enough way to experience and express my highly sensitive self.

I love supporting women in re-animating aspects of themselves that they’ve quarantined, through deep & light conscious movement, dance, performance, intention and attention practices.

I use the Showgirl as a symbol for your most brilliant, fully-embodied self.
