The defining moments in our lives aren’t always
the loud ones — they’re the tiny moves we make
when no one’s watching.

The Journey That Led Me Here

I started going to Bachata classes in March 2011, three months after my daughter was born. I needed to breathe and find myself again after learning about my ex-husband’s affair. 

I felt horrible for my dance partners. These poor guys dragged me around the dance floor like stiff cardboard. I was there but mentally gone, lost in the bigger question hanging over me – Was I going to stay or leave this marriage? 

Bachata helped clear the fog just enough to feel my body again. It was my first tiny move on my path to single motherhood. 

Trusting your body wisdom is the first step in the Tiny Moves Framework. Noticing how something feels in your body and trusting your gut instinct is your greatest power. 

After months of Bachata, yoga, and many sleepless nights, I finally arrived at my next tiny move before making a final decision. 

The Inspiration

I lost two of my closest friends in college to suicide. They were bright, brilliant souls with beaming potential who were secretly depressed. Losing them left me with questions th
at wouldn’t quiet: Why aren’t we talking about this more? How do we heal the parts people don’t see? Who is there to support us?

Those questions became the foundation of everything I do,
