Hi, I'm Shalay
I believe our bodies are not obstacles to overcome. They are places to listen, learn, connect, and come alive.
ā
For over three decades, dance has been one of my greatest teachers. āToday, I bring together my love of West Coast Swing, somatic movement, breathwork, and meaningful connection to create experiences that invite others to awaken their senses and listen to what moves within.ā
ā
I would love to have you join me in Mapleton, Utah.

"Shalay has been a beacon of hope in my life. Her easy-to-follow techniques have not only lowered my anxiety and improved my overall nervous system but also helped me release deep-seated shame from trauma. She listens with her heart, understands deeply, and creates a truly safe space to heal. I am forever grateful for her compassionate service."
