Over the years, her love of the movement, freedom, and space offered at Divine has only grown. In 2017, she became an instructor and has been so happy to help students find their own movement and freedom within our space.

Why do you love Divine Movement?
So many reasons. The best reason for me is ultimately, the acceptance here. Being a plus-size lady, for me it has been be hard to feel accepted in places of movement. I never felt that way at Divine. I have always felt encouraged and never left out. The environment at the studio is so supportive of everyone. It’s like a drug and I’m addicted!
