The training integrated not only ecstatic dance but also chakra alignment, use of personal sound, and ancient practices of connecting to the elements of earth. Star does not prescribe one specific box to fit into, rather a solid framework to be able to make your own style as a practitioner.

Star's expertise in the realm of dance and healing is evident throughout the course, and I felt my own understanding and abilities as a facilitator expanding and evolving with each module. Her invaluable feedback and support fostered a deep sense of trust, making the entire experience even more impactful.

The ease of use and transformative nature of the program, combined with Star's expertise and nurturing guidance, make it an exceptional resource. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to learn from Star and for the positive impact it has had on my practice.

Hi, I'm Star
My journey began in the quietude of an Indian ashram, where I spent six months in a vow of silence. It was there, amidst the mist and the ancient stones, that I discovered the profound insight that ecstatic dance is the new yoga. This transformative experience inspired the creation of Heal Through Dance, a sanctuary for somatic embodiment and trauma-informed movement. We invite you to join this path of healing, where the body leads the way to a deeper, more authentic connection with yourself.

Heal Through Dance: a guidebook for creating somatic movement practices. This foundational resource provides a comprehensive framework for trauma-informed facilitators to design and lead transformative Ecstatic Dance experiences. It bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and modern embodiment, offering a world-renowned blueprint for somatic healing and movement-based self-discovery.
