The Stage Coach
Movement Coaching & Consulting Specialist
I'm dedicated to helping people unlock the transformative power of movement in every part of their lives, especially when it comes to performing on stage. Whether you're an actor, dancer, or anyone who presents to an audience, I believe that movement can empower you to express yourself at your highest potential- physically and mentally and with purpose. I can teach you how to incorporate movement into your core practice to help you bring your best performance to life- not just for the audience, but for yourself, too, so you can thrive both on and off the stage.
My approach to movement education is all-encompassing. I offer a mix of personalized coaching, educational videos, outreach initiatives, and on-site programs that combine physical disciplines, movement science, and the psychology behind movement. I work with people of all backgrounds and all ages, focusing on helping performers of all kinds enhance their physical performance, improve their stage presence, and achieve greater expression and efficiency in movement.
Whether you’re preparing for a show, developing your skills, or just looking to understand the deeper impact of movement, I'm here to help you move with more confidence, creativity, and ease—making every performance an opportunity to connect with your true potential.
