Hi, I’m Kiona
I have always believed that movement is magic.
From a young age, I used movement to process what I couldn’t understand, to let energy flow when life felt overwhelming, and to connect to my authentic self.
But there was a time when I lost that connection.
After a series of unfortunate events, I turned to exercise as a way to control my inner world, chasing a sense of “safety” in ways that left me feeling less and less alive.
I disconnected from my body’s cues, and it cried out in symptoms. I felt powerless to change my circumstances.
But then!
In my first college dance class, I was zapped back into my body, and I felt it - the undeniable unity between body and mind. I realized right then that my body didn’t need to be controlled or “fixed” - she simply needed new experiences, and
I had the power to give them to her.
Step by step, I explored new ways of moving through the world. I took up somatics, dance, drumming, calisthenics, yoga, skateboarding, surfing, and every outdoor adventure you can think of. I gave my body experiences of play, adventure, risk, and connection. I shifted from rigidity to flow, from control to curiosity, from stress to spark.
Immediately, I felt called to help others experience this magic. I began a 7-year journey to study and teach:
✨ Somatic practices that reconnect us to the nervous system and build inner resources.
✨ Embodiment tools that awaken interoception and confidence.
✨ Movement as play — dance, calisthenics, yoga — reimagined as medicine and magic.
Now, my body of work is about helping you remember that your body is a bridge between your inner and outer worlds, and your movement is your power expressed in the present moment.
You can rewrite your story through how you move today — and from there, co-create a life you absolutely love.
I teach from lived experience. From years of exploring how movement can shift the nervous system, rewire patterns, and create a life that feels vividly alive.
From testing these tools in my own body and watching them ripple out to the people I work with.
My ultimate intention is to help you embody your radiant, powerful, confident self, and to move through life in the funnest, most magical way possible.
Because we only get one life, and it gets to be fun.
