Having danced professionally since 1982 in 11 different countries—from Los Angeles to Paris, Dubai to Guatemala—she has danced for dignitaries, presidents, celebrities and royalty. At the age of 12, I started taking belly dance classes with my mom. I was extremely shy and unsure of myself back then. Over the years I began performing dance and my self assurance grew and grew. I've performed all over the world and following my passion for dance has enabled me to create the life of my dreams: a fantastic home, my own dance studio, amazing friends, giving my mom great golden years, and marrying the man of my dreams. When I began teaching dance, I noticed this same powerful changes happening in my students. The confidence they got from the dance, was affecting every part of their lives in very positive ways. However, I also realized that other dancers and teachers weren't really trying to
understand all of the ways that ancient dance movement affects our minds and souls and help us create inspired lives.
This is why I created my Coaching and Mentorship program, "The Sense-ual WomanTM: Timeless Secrets to a Beautiful Mind, Body & Soul." My passion is teaching my method to other women so that
they can Sense Their Power and Seize The Day™ !
My Sense-ual Woman program is based on my personal technique for creating what I call MEs, or Mind ExperiencesTM. I teach you to connect a body movement with a deep sense from your mind to create a sensual soul experience. Body, Mind, Soul. Practicing my process links the movement to the senses so that when you do the movement, you trigger your mind to recall the ME you've created. MEs are powerful tools that inspire instant confidence, empowerment, peace and deep joy. Simply by doing these movements, anytime and anywhere, a woman can re-inspire and reinvigorate herself. When we master the art of creating and recalling our personal MEs, our lives begin to change in amazing ways!
Sohaila inspires women all over the world with worldwide retreats.
