"Sweat your prayers, dance your pain and move on" - Gabrielle Roth.
As a teacher and facilitator of the 5Rhythms dance practice, I support people in reconnecting with their bodies and expressing, through spontaneous movement, whatever is moving through them.
More than a free dance practice, the 5Rhythms are true gateways to meeting oneself and others. They help us feel, express, and observe our thoughts and emotions — what is alive within us — as if through mirrors.
By dancing, I give form to what is alive within me: my sorrows, my joys, my anger, my ideas… and I become my own guide, my own healer.
Dance has opened a door toward the understanding of WHO I AM, and it is this door that I wish to accompany you in crossing, again and again, within these spaces of exploration.

My story
Passionate about the 5Rhythms since its discovery in 2013 at its birthplace in Esalen, California, I dedicated eight years of devotion and training to this practice before obtaining my certification in December 2021.
Since 2015, I have had the opportunity to contribute to the development of the dance community in Geneva alongside Guillaume Laplane, co-creating dance spaces, welcoming numerous 5Rhythms teachers, and offering my own sessions as a Space Holder.
In 2023, I launched The Dancing Tribe, a collective project that brings together various conscious movement practices - 5Rhythms, Open Floor, Ecstatic & Cacao Dance - on Friday evenings in Geneva and Sunday mornings in Nyon.
