"There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy."
- Friedrich Nietzsche
Did you grow up in an environment that led you to criticize your body and stifle your self-expression?
​
Dance - in its primal form - has the power to liberate stagnant life-force energy and harmonize our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual selves.
​
In modern society, productivity often takes priority over connection, leaving little room to honor our emotions, bodies, and spirits.
​
However, we are changing this as we individually and collectively remember our birthright to heal through authentic, creative expression.​​
Healing through movement is your birthright.
In this course, learn how to:
Connect to your authentic voice, power and creativity
Align your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual dimensions of self
Transform stuck energy into flowing life-force that heals and creates from the soul
Empower your inner leader to confidently facilitate transformative embodiment experiences for others

Why Dance Healing?
Trauma-informed
Neuroscience backed
Our bodies carry the memories of our experiences, including moments of overwhelm that we couldn't fully process. Dance Healing helps release stuck energy, creating space for new stories to emerge. Honoring this sensitive process, we prioritize personal agency and attuning to your body’s natural rhythm.​

“In Dance Healing Foundations, I felt greater connection with parts in my body that need attention and clearing. Allowing them to dance and have a voice helped me move through intense grief.
I appreciated creating the score to help me be with what is and move through any stuck energy for greater freedom of movement in all the levels of my life.
I've noticed a deeper connection to my body and how I move in the world. This is a profoundly healing course and the different levels of witnessing and being witnessed through healing was incredibly helpful."

About Your Guide
​I’m Hayley Shannon - a devotee of embodiment aka a Dance Witch - meaning I work with energy, the body and nature to support our inner ecosystems to find balance and wholeness.
My soul came in destined to dance, and I am deeply grateful to have accessed profound healing through going on the underworld journey to come home to my body and find my authentic voice.
My ultimate goal is to support others to reclaim their power and aliveness through the powerful methods of movement, art, ritual & community.
​
I've been facilitating Dance Healing for nine years and am confident that I will continue walking this ever-evolving embodiment path until my dying days (maybe after, too?).
I would love to meet you! Feel free to set up a time to chat.
Teresita Alvarado
Certified Dance Healing Facilitator
There was a time in my life when I felt far from myself — caught between cultures, between languages, between worlds I couldn’t fully name. Anxiety, disconnection, and the longing to belong shaped much of my inner landscape.
But they also opened a path. I have spent years walking that path—through movement, shamanic practice, ancestral healing, artistic expression, and architecture.
​
Dance has been one of the strongest ways I’ve found my way back to feeling, to presence, to breath... to my own rhythm and my own truth. Today, Dance Healing is at the heart of my work—a sacred space where body, heart, and spirit speak in their own language.
​
My work is about walking alongside. It’s about creating grounded, compassionate spaces where people can reconnect with their bodies, their stories, and their power—where healing doesn’t have to look one way, and where every part of you is welcome.
​
I live and work between cultures and languages, carrying both Mexico and the U.S. within me. This bilingual, bicultural, and multidisciplinary path is not just my background—it’s my way of seeing, listening, and creating space for others.
​
At the heart of what I offer is the desire to share what I once needed: presence, tenderness, and a space to come home to yourself.
