More than 15 years ago, I discovered my passion and dedication to the creative process when I
closed a successful business and returned to school.
Through my studies, I have discovered my love for relating to others
through dialogue, monologue, poetry, song, and other forms of personal
expression. When I began this work, I was terrified to speak in front
of others and frightened to speak to others when vulnerable. This
manifested itself in me as a very disconnected voice. I had a severe
inability to express myself while sharing my humanity. In fact, I would
do anything to avoid it!
Now, through the benefit of many amazing learning and teaching
opportunities, I love it! I can still be nervous – remembering
anxiousness is excitement without breath – but I use my experiences and
the tools that I’ve developed and I’m able to do it! I thoroughly enjoy
personal and artistic expression in various forms.
Whether teaching or performing, all of my work begins with the use
of relaxation through breath and bodywork to become fully present and
aware with the self, others, and the environment. This is followed by
rejuvenation through grounded play for expression using such things as
bodywork, imagery, sense memory, and text.
Whether I am teaching or coaching privately or in a group, I believe
in creating a safe space for you to have fun in while exploring vocally
and creatively. Hands-down, in my experience this provides the most
effective foundation for personal transformation.
I hope to hear from you about any curiosity you may have about my
work! Blessings to you. May your breath be free to move and your voice
be open and supported to express your hopes and dreams…

- Working with Traci Foster has been an incredible experience for me as an actor but more importantly it has opened my eyes to how to live more fully and how to appreciate all the amazing nuances that are alive in every human being.
