Visionaries. Alchemists. Creators of Change!
You’re not here to fit in. You’re here to awaken the world with who you truly are.
I’m the founder of Niio Dance and Visionary Somatic Dance, a transformational approach that bridges ancient wisdom and cutting-edge science, guiding heart-centered coaches, creatives, entrepreneurs and healers back to their wholeness, embodied power and authentic expression.
It’s a reclamation — of your natural freedom, creativity, and joy, to be alive, expressive, and free. A return to who you truly are beneath the conditioning of society, culture, and upbringing.
The 5 C’s of Self-Leadership anchor this journey:
• Connection – Find your inner roots of support
• Compassion – Cultivate self-love & acceptance
• Courage – Show up powerfully & stop dimming your light
• Clarity – Access your inner GPS, wisdom & vision
• Creativity – Express your soul work fully in the world
It’s not just about movement — it’s about remembering who you are, trusting your wisdom, and expressing your soul work with confidence, clarity, and joy.
A celebration of the human spirit – with the occasional dash of Taoist playfulness.
MY JOURNEY
Over 20 years I have given talks and workshops in the UK and Europe including the Conference in Dance and Spirituality, Creative Summit for the World Arts and Embodiment Forum, Women’s Thrive, She Rises and ISMETA Conference 2025.
Being a British Born Chinese, I grew up torn between two cultures, always feeling like an outsider. Chinese philosophy is both grounded and mystical and on my own journey I have found a home within me, and Niio Dance for New Integrated and Inspired Openings was born.
Whether you’re seeking calm, clarity, creative fire or the courage to be fully seen – I’m here to walk beside you

WILD WARRIOR WISDOM HEART 1:1 Coaching
RECLAIM YOU: Signature Program
WILD SOUL CALLING: Retreat
Niio Dance is a transformational movement modality that bridges ancient wisdom with modern science. It’s a guided process of embodied awakening — a homecoming to your true self through dance, somatics, breath, and creative expression.
Rooted in the elements and inspired by conscious, ecstatic, and shamanic traditions, Niio Dance helps you release conditioning, reclaim your power, and express your soul’s voice — with joy, freedom, and flow.
Not at all. No choreography. No rhythm required. Niio Dance isn’t about how it looks — it’s about how it feels. You’re welcome exactly as you are — messy, radiant, wild, wise, and everything in between.
Niio Dance is especially for heart-led coaches, healers, creatives, and entrepreneurs who:
• Feel called to deeper embodiment, authenticity, and expression
• Are navigating transition, burnout, or longing for renewed purpose
• Seek to reconnect with joy, sensuality, and inner freedom
• Want to access creativity, clarity, and confidence in their leadership
Niio Dance is a guided transformational journey — not just freeform dance. It integrates:
• Elemental wisdom (Earth, Water, Fire, Air)
• Chakra mapping + energy alignment
• Body-Mind Centering® principles
• Somatic psychology + nervous system awareness
• Embodied creativity, voicework, and expressive arts
• Breathwork and emotional alchemy
Each journey follows the Niio framework: Embody → Alchemise → Express → Integrate.
A typical session includes:
• Intention setting & breath-based arrival
• Somatic warm-up and grounding practices
• A guided dance journey with music, archetypes, and elemental prompts
• Reflection and integration through journaling, art, ritual, or rest
Common outcomes include:
• Feeling grounded, calm, and connected
• Releasing emotions and old patterns
• Accessing clarity in life or creative direction
• Reigniting joy, sensuality, and purpose
• Embodied confidence and authentic expression
No — Niio Dance is not a clinical therapy. But it is trauma-informed, body-aware, and deeply therapeutic in nature. Many people find it beautifully complements therapy when words are not enough and the body is ready to move.
Comfortable clothing you can move in, water, and a journal if you like. Most important: an open mind and heart.
Yes. Movements can be adapted to your body and needs. You’re invited to move at your own pace — sitting, standing, lying down — however feels right.
Some begin with a single workshop, others weave it in weekly or seasonally. The more often you practice, the more the clarity, freedom, and flow ripple into everyday life.
