"There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy."
- Friedrich Nietzsche
Did you grow up in an environment that criticized your body and stifled your self-expression?
​
Dance has the power to liberate our 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 and 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
Your journey begins here...

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.​

About Your Guide
Hi friend, I’m so glad you’re here.
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.
