Hi THERE, I’m Moana,
and I’m here to take a stand for your freedom, your wildness, your power and your liberated expression.
let me ask you… are you the one who always holds it together?
the one who keeps it small, quiet and acceptable? so that others don’t feel intimidated by you?
maybe you’ve been told — directly or indirectly — that your feelings are too much. that your aliveness is inconvenient and that shrinking is much safer than shining.
so you hide yourself. you hide your truth, your wisdom, your sensuality & your power.
If any of this is landing — you are not alone neither are you are broken. There is a way through.
I have lived in that place for so many years and if I could find my way out, so can you.
my story of coming home to my true self began when I moved to New York to study acting.
(little did I know, I was walking into my spiritual awakening)
In my mind I thought I was going to learn how to perform. to put on a character, step into a role and disappear into someone else.
I had no idea that acting is actually the opposite. it asks you to go deeper into yourself than most people ever dare to go. to access the most tender, most terrifying, most alive parts of you — and offer them to the world.
for the first time in my life, I was asked to go there. to the places I had spent years learning to numb and avoid.
the feelings I had buried, the parts of me I had made small, the emotions I had been told were too much, too loud, too raw.
and now, suddenly — they weren’t just allowed. they were required.
I was pushed, again and again, to go exactly where everything in me wanted to run from.
(it truly broke me open)
slowly — something shifted.
the things I had been taught to suppress, began to transform. they stopped being my shame. they became my power. my medicine and my greatest gifts.
acting didn’t teach me how to perform.
it taught me how to channel my inner fire. how to strip shame out of my body, stand in my truth and claim my space,
and most importantly how to turn my wounds into something beautiful.
from there, everything is history and my path deepened.
my soul was craving more. acting cracked something open — and I couldn’t go back to the old numbing ways anymore.
I was being pulled toward the shadows, toward spirituality — toward everything that lives beneath the mask we wear in our day to day life.
(and honestly these were some of the hardest years of my life. sitting with your own shadow, after a lifetime of pretending and manipulating — is no small thing.)
but I kept following the thread.
I sat with elders who taught me the sacredness of ceremony. I trained in various forms of breathwork, yoga, energy healing, movement, shamanism, voice and space holding.
and slowly, I wove all of it together into something intuitive, artistic and deeply personal.
through private sessions, retreats, performances and group work, I hold space for the part of you
that is done hiding.
if any part of you is ready to take up space and to feel less alone in your becoming, welcome home, you’re in the right place.
what I offer doesn’t come from a book or a training manual. it comes from having walked through my own darkness and shame — and slowly and tenderly, reclaiming myself. over and over again.
and now it is my deep pleasure and absolute honor to offer the same space to you.
thank you for reading until here.
with so much love and tenderness,
Moana
