Alora discusses her unique approach to wellness, integrating her background in dance, rehabilitative exercise, trauma-informed movement, Pilates, and expressive arts to help clients transform their relationships with their bodies.
Discover how Alora's embodied understanding of the nervous system and trauma reshaped her views on self-care and body image, leading her to see her body as a life partner rather than a machine. Tune in to explore somatic intelligence and how everyday movement can become a powerful tool for self-expression and healing.
