of movement and dance began in early childhood as I roamed the continent of Australia with my gypsy~spirited family, connecting me deeply with nature and its rhythms. My mother, a dance teacher, firstly inspired a love and appreciation for traditional dance techniques, which I passionately explored and trained in throughout my teenage years.

As my passion for dance evolved, I delved into the practices of yoga, meditation, and personal transformation, inspired by Buddhism, Shamanic wisdom; nature-based spirituality.

My love for dance led me to pursue a Certification in Dance at The Northern Rivers Conservatorium in 2003.

After a period of intense training and performance based expression in technique and choreographed dance. I found myself yearning for a new kind of dance freedom. I craved a deeper form of self-expression, which led me to discover Ecstatic Dance. It was in this practice that I found a truly liberating, heart-centered and embodied awakening. I felt the power of dance as a catalyst for deep release, healing and transformation. From that moment, I was hooked!

I continued to explore ecstatic dance and attended teacher trainings, becoming proficient in Gabrielle Roth’s 5 Rhythms. I honed my skills in Dance Therapy and Shamanic Earth Wisdom and in 2014 completed my certification to facilitate 5 Elements Dance Activation. This led to the creation of my offering; Medicine Dance, which I have been holding regularly on local dance floors, at festivals, on retreats and at private events.

I’m grateful to many teachers that have guided me and continue to, to the dancers that show up and bare their hearts and souls on the dance floor, you are my inspiration, and to you who I have not yet met, I invite you to join me in the dance, to experience powerful embodiment, the healing power of movement, and to discover the freedom of self-expression and the absolute unlimited possibilities that the magic of transformation can hold. With my unique blend of dance therapy, shamanic wisdom and ceremonial cacao, I will guide you on a journey of self-discovery, and help you tap into the infinite potential of your body, mind and spirit. Come dance with me, and let's awaken to our true selves, together.

With absolute Love and gratitude, Marnie x
