Dia is a spectacular human being who has put precious work into both understanding systems of oppression and methods of liberation in a very real, practical and honest way. She is so welcoming and offers immense support for deep structural and personal inquiry that ultimately leads to a better emotional understanding of our journey as humans with a spirit in a physical body. -Client

{take a breath, Inhale, Exhale}

As a US born, mixed race, large-sized human, Dia has honed an ability to hold paradox with gentleness and to move between many realities simultaneously.

Dia leads and coaches individuals and organizations in the examination of limiting patterns. In both mindfulness and anti-racism workshops, she focuses on breath and body awareness, bringing a deeper understanding to the physical and psychological tensions that arise in reaction to unexamined habits of white supremacy.

As a facilitator, Dia focuses on the individual needs of her clients and the collective needs in their sphere of influence. She centers transformation in the container of the body, focuses stories on the feminine of center, black and indigenous members of the community, demonstrates sensation as a parallel to our shared discomfort with evolution and amplifies joy, connection and resilency.
