I really wanted to wanted to be a world class ballerina.  I had attend the National Ballet School at age 11. I was dancing in a small Toronto ballet company at age 21.  I was extremely dedicated and hard working.  I had always been told that if you work hard enough you can achieve your goals.  Something wasn’t adding up. I felt as if I was going in circles.  I starting attending personal growth workshops.  Ones where you confront everything in your life.  I learnt so much!  One of the most of important realizations was that I was supposed to be loving and listening to my body.  As a dancer I had been fighting with my body trying to force it into someone’s ideal image of what a ballet dancer should look like.  As much as I loved to express myself to music, ballet was taking a big toll on my body.  I realized I needed to let it go.  It was heartbreaking for me. As I slowly began to heal I became more connected to myself, discovering and processing many emotions that had be pushed down.  I started to realize that dance had been a spiritual expression and that there were other ways to connect to my spirituality.  Along my healing journey as my body told it story I realized how my body was still holding onto past traumas. Healing from a downhill ski injury that made my legs uneven (when I was 10 years old) and from a very traumatic event when i was 10 days old.  Healing is a journey,  Life magically/mystically triggers old unfinished wounds, giving us many opportunities to reconnect to wholeness.  I am so grateful for all of my wonderful teachers.
