My mission is to inspire women to discover their inner radiance and promote healthy living through the transformative power of holistic dance and self-care.

A little about me, the why of this project and how it all started…

2.jpg

My name is Laura and I combine spirituality, feminine ancestral dance and holistic therapies to create a transformative experience that fosters not only physical well-being but also emotional and spiritual balance. Through the integration of practices such as reflexology, belly dance, aromatherapy, and energy healing, my goal is to provide supportive tools with a comprehensive approach to self-care, empowering women to embrace their authentic selves, cultivate a deeper connection with their body and inner wisdom, and enhance joy, acceptance, and self-love.

 

I have danced for almost my entire life, and I believe in the therapeutic effects dance has to offer.

Let me tell you a secret: I haven’t always been confident in my own skin, and there was a time in my life where I rejected my feminine body. Belly dance helped me tremendously to regain my inner confidence, strength, and power. It helped me heal the relationship I had with myself, and to accept and integrate parts of me I was rejecting. Not only that, but it was a healthy way in which to express repressed emotions I couldn’t voice during difficult times in my life.

 

When I moved to Dublin in 2013, there was not much offer for belly dance classes, and I always found when I was in a class, that there was an important element missing: the holistic approach.

 

I saw the need to integrate these two elements, and I began integrating my holistic view into dance in 2017 with my first project: ‘Shakti Belly Dance’, with the aim to help women reconnect with their bodies, their feminine essence and regain the confidence in themselves. The results and the feedback were always so positive that it kept me motivated to keep sharing to help women all over the world.

WHY....?

We live in a society where everything moves so fast that it's difficult to stop and listen to our body, to become aware of what's happening within us. I saw this in my holistic practice so often that it was concerning me: we are starting to normalize stress and anxiety as ‘our normal’, and this is so detrimental to our health. Our body is intelligent, and it has its own healing mechanisms. When mask and ignore symptoms, and when we repress our emotions by not listening and giving space for them to have a place, the body speaks loudly, and the symptoms may worsen as a result.

 

Society's standards have increasingly caused women to reject their feminine bodies to 'belong,' 'feel beautiful,' 'loved,' 'valued,' and 'validated' by their surroundings. Or, simply due to the rush, they live in disconnection with their own bodies and emotions. "I don't have time to stop..." - does this phrase sound familiar? Let me tell you that the less time you have for yourself, the more important it is to prioritize a slot in your schedule to give yourself that space, which is vital and fundamental for your health and well-being. There’s a say that reflects this: ‘ If you don’t make time for your wellness, you’ll be force to make time for your illness’ - just food for thought.

 

More and more, we forget the importance of going inward, resting, supporting our internal rhythms, and reconnecting with the inner power that resides within us. That power is regained when you recover confidence in yourself, in your body, in your abilities, and it makes you feel secure, deserving, dignified, sovereign, powerful, free, sensual, feminine, and loving.

Awakening the goddess within with Belly Dance, is born from my own experience. So, let me tell you a little bit about me…

When I was 11 years old, I had very irregular and painful periods. My paediatrician recommended me to start belly dance classes to help relieve pain and pelvic tension.

I spent most of my childhood and teenagerhood in a state of alert due to trauma, with a lot of anxiety and depression. My childhood and teenagerhood were not easy. I felt different from others. I felt I didn't fit in and I suffered from bullying when I started developing my womanly body at a very early age. This made me feel a rejection towards my own body and femininity.

 

Years later, I began my journey in this ancestral female art of belly dance. Its sensuality, the delicacy of its movements, the subtlety, the percussion rhythms enchanted me from the very first moment. At that moment, a door opened not only to physical benefits like improved posture and using pelvic movements to relieve my pain but also to accepting my body and my curves. It brought back the love towards myself, my confidence, my inner power, and the motivation to inspire other women do the same. My purpose is to share its benefits with other women, offering them support and access to this ancestral feminine practice so that they can use it as a tool to help them better the relationship with themselves, express from a safe space and add joy, pleasure and play into their lives!

 

The Awakening of the Goddess is a tribute to you, to your ancestors, and all the women who inhabit the earth. Because we are all creators.
