Once Upon a Time...
There once was a dancer just 11 years old, a mover moving people is the story to unfold. Stage to street through the internet and more we're "Wind for Your Butterfly Wings" to help you soar. Making Real Connections embraces what we strive to do, bridge communication and relationships so purposeful and meaningful futures are created. Having mentors teach me mental and physical preparedness, the meaning of integrity and to seize opportunity has led me along this path of success. Leading groups of people brings people together creating a community of support and compassion. Educating others about mental health, autism and more spreads awareness and acceptance of individual differences and the necessity for inclusion. It rewards me to provide services that are needed for quality of life. Through a lifetime of giving to others it is easy to share my tips and theories for concrete solutions to challenges and empathy for those who are suffering in silence or visibly to find hope and happiness. This is a calling truly answered.
