Participant words
I literally danced back to my creativity and soul.
Jessica Cygan
Jess helped me create a dance piece that shed cobwebs of doubt, discomfort, confusion, unworthiness and pain.
Story note 01
Jessica was intuitively drawn to work with Jess while a creative project was emerging, but without a clear finish line.
Story note 02
Showing up for herself and creating little by little had a lasting impact. She danced back to her creativity and soul and felt open to whatever life brought next.
Story note 03
Her process started with the words expansion and femininity, then moved into hard questions around her mother's leaving, romantic relationships, and self-imposed limitations.
Story note 04
Through the process, she naturally let go of what was not serving her and felt a new space to be exactly who she was.
Story note 05
As an entrepreneur, she was able to find more joy, give back to herself, slow down, and better serve her clients.

About your dance coach
Hi, I'm Jess.
I remember the moment when I knew I wanted to create and perform my first solo dance piece. I was terrified - it felt irrational, out of the blue, and maybe even a bit egotistical. But something in my soul wanted to express and create and reclaim the dancer in me - and this form felt like the truest way to do that.
That was well over 10 years ago and since then, dance has become a huge part of my life and career. The process of creating something unique and true to me was so transformative, that I later started helping others do the same.
Through my personal experience as a dancer and my professional experience as a health- and creativity-coach, I found a special knack for guiding others into taking what's in their soul and turning it into an expressive dance.
Beyond my personal expression, it's truly one of my favorite things to do. I'd love to connect more and see if this could be the right fit for YOU.
I have few words to describe this experience. Just the joy in my heart, the tears in my eyes, the hope in every cell. I am once again immersed in a creative space and I am thankful for Jess' magical touch, great facilitation, and doula work.
