Candida has been belly dancing for 7 years and it has truly changed her life.  Through this dance she has found community, strength, poise, femininity, and a way to experience and share joy.  She has two young boys who she adores being a mama to, and belly danced through both of her pregnancies. She states, “in dance we find a way to reconnect with our own nature, to have a ton of fun, and be present in our bodies. It is beautiful, this dance, and sublime”.  She also did the college thing at Western and has a degree in Psychology, and has a knowledge of herbs, aromatherapy, and essential oils with which she is able to concoct salves, oils, and potions. She believes it is a life’s journey to find that thing which you know you love, and to do it. That thing for her is dance.
