A thought space for wild & sensual women.
What if instead of looking at boundaries like a lack of something, we reframed the idea…
What if boundaries were not meant to be a barrier to keep people out

Me, The Creatrix…
“There’s 2 types of (women) - those who are curious about the powerful choices they can make for themselves and what is available FOR them, and those that are dictated by the fear of the fact that they think they don’t have a choice at all.”

"I hate to free dance."
The critic, the planner, and the judge… No, these are not major arcana.
They are things that can show up unwelcomed and unannounced in your pole class.
I rarely talk about pole dance this way…
“Everything I need is within.” I rarely talk about pole this way, but here we go. Pole is…

I made peace with me…
“I made peace with me…”
Reminder… Everything you desire is on the other side of fear
I get why you might be afraid of owning your sensuality and sexual energy.

Things I wish I knew when I first started pole dancing
Read this is you’re over 30. (If you’re not still read it.)
When I first started pole dancing, 10 years ago… everything changed.
It did. That’s a fact.
Originally what kept me coming back was the physical challenge.

Movement is Medicine
“I’ve spent too long hiding pieces of who I really am. And it turns out, it didn’t serve me. And it didn’t serve those around me either. It just kept me from so much good I was blocking out and so much good within me that I didn’t let anyone see.”

Yes, we share here!
As I roll into my mid thirties in the next few months, I’m so thankful that I have found practices to allow me to soften, especially when life can be so… hard.And my body has changed with that; my skin, my ass, my neck and chin…And my nervous system too. 🙏🏻
Cheer to 3 Years!
Happy Birthday Thrive!
Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning, or you are brand new, maybe you’re still summoning the courage to walk through our door, or you've finally found yourself on that waitlist, today - I deeply honor and celebrate you.
When the studio was in its earliest stages- I’m talking pre-Covid- when I was a traveling artist popping into other spaces to cover a few week long residencies- I remember thinking a very strong thought (which may come as a shock to you).
“I never want to own a studio.”

The Power of Flow State
The term “flow state” describes a mental state in which a person is completely focused on a single task or activity. They are directing all of their attention, or energy, toward the task, and they do not experience many thoughts about themselves or their performance. It is a place where the subconcious is most permeable, as the ego melts away.
Flow state allows us to reprogram our subcontious because we completely lose our sense of self (i.e ego)
This is where the deepest healing takes place.

Lessons from our Wild Within Retreat in Sedona
Last week we were in Arizona (snow storm and all) for our 4th Wild Within Retreat. This trip was layered with lessons, luscious landscapes and so so much love. I took a lot home with me on this one, for sure more than I could fit in my carry on lol, but these are some of the intimate moments I wanted to share here with you.
#1. Trust is a felt sense and an embodiment of recalibration.
Trust is a full embodiment of all the work we have done up to the moment we experience the opportunity to not. I know that sounds wordy and confusing, but there will be so many things in this life that throw you off center and ask you to recalibrate.

Creation and Destruction go hand in hand.
We can’t control people or their behavior (no matter how much we try lol)... we know this. BUT we can take responsibility and accountability for our own; we can also be the co-creator in both.
And when we do that, we can decide how much personal emotional real estate someone else occupies. Hell, we might even be able to keep our ego in check.
Within that space, we can give ourself the permission to let it be messy, and experience whatever it is we need to experience, without labeling it, giving it expectations or shaming it too.
We can stop pressuring ourselves to show up perfect.
Trust Enough to Let. It. Go.
Why is it that we hold on to things, even when we can hardly bare the weight?
Is it because things are always heavier before you put them down?
We have to TRUST enough to let things go, and within that trust we find truth.
AND when we find the truth, when we start to really know ourself…
We can show up critical, or we can show up kind.
Abundance? Or Fear?
When we're saying yes to things, is it because it's coming from an innate place of overflow, abundance and ability to give?
OR is it because we are fearful of the reaction on the other end if we do not?
Are you Bulldozing Your Intuition with this phase??
Sound like you…
“I JUST have to figure it all out.”
Read why this is one of the biggest lies we tell ourselves.
If you aren’t prioritizing yourself….Who the F*ck will?
✨People pleasing, “having no time” and putting others before yourself, is actually an avoidance tactic to invalidate our own needs, wants and desires.✨
When we shift the gaze to others, we feel needed, accepted or loved by an outside source FIRST before we can in fact do it for ourselves from within…and that sh*t is problematic.
“To Feel is to Heal”
The more I allowed myself to feel, the more I began to heal. 7 years later, it still ebbs and flows, but movement, self-loving rituals and practices…gentleness, has given me a new life. Allowing myself to feel, even in the depths of uncertainty, has led me places I never thought I could go and connected me to people and spaces I hadn’t ever dreamed of.
More importantly, (also with therapy, time and tools) it connected me back to my true authentic self.
Lies you are telling yourself, that are keeping you from personal growth.
“I have no time for …(usually something for yourself)
“I have no money for… (usually something for yourself)
”I will never be able to...”

Why we value the embodiment of “Gratitude” at the Thrive Embodied Arts.
Gratitude helps shift out of a scarcity mindset and survival mode. It opens us up to inner knowing, or intuition and abundance which leads to authentic joy. When we make it clear to ourselves, what makes us feel good, its easier to navigate the things that don’t. (and then you can take the necessary action to get rid of the shit that doesn’t serve you to make even more space for that which fills you up)
Gratitude is a full body experience.
You gotta feel that shit.
