Beckie brings her enthusiasm and passion to her vision of empowering people who would not normally have access to life-transforming tools and her aim is to bring a practical spirituality into the mainstream.
She is also the mother of a radiant and energetic 3-year old!

“I believe that Ecstatic shake & Dance™ is the fastest, safest most fun way to get out of the thinking of the head and into the feeling of the body. When I dance I create a space for miracles to happen, the rhythm of the music, my heart and the universe becoming one. Stripped of my dualistic ego I become naked and innocent like a child, open to the love and joy that resides at my core”.
