Facilitators
Mia Snow
I developed Essence Dance in 2005 and have facilitated regular courses and workshops in Melbourne and at various Australian Dance/Music Festivals. I have recently started sharing Essence Dance in the Bryon Bay Shire (NSW), where I am now based. My training includes Hawaiian Cultural Studies, TranceDance Facilitator Training, Kundalini Dance Facilitator Training, and over 7 years of Lomilomi (Hawaiian Massage) practice, including teaching Lomilomi (with permission from Hawaiian Elder Papa ‘K’).
Dance, lomilomi massage and Hawaiian culture continue to inspire me to let go of my fears, to open my heart, to trust in myself, and to go beyond the separated individual to connect with all that is.
I am extremely passionate about sharing with others and inspiring individuals to trust in themselves.

To put it simply Essence Dance changed my life. A large part of this change occurred in the foundation from which I make life decisions. Since connecting with deeper and high aspects of myself through Essence Dance decisions are no longer a huge burden, they have become an opportunity to discover, learn and grow beyond my wildest dreams.
Essence Dance anchors me in myself, gives me a deeper sense of what it means to be who I am, expands the possibilities of how I lead my life. Opens me to aloha, enables me to focus my energy on what I want to create, to allow change, expansion and growth that are beyond my minds limits, and to build thoughts, beliefs and choices that are in alignment with my highest purpose.
Besides facilitating Essence Dance I have a practice where I use naturopathy, herbs, nutritional supplements, food medicine, iridology, wholistic counselling and coaching to improve the health of body, mind and spirit. I work from clinics in Fitzroy and Warrandyte (VIC)
I also create flower essences using Hawaiian Wisdom these essences assist you to connect with your higher self and ground you during expansion and change.

As often happens, I found Essence Dance when I was perfectly ready for it. Shifts, changes, growth, a stronger sense of clarity, love, joy and presence followed. Essence Dance is a profound tool for personal transformation.
Moving beyond what you know, and even beyond what you can imagine, to places and spaces for which there are no words. Pure connection to your body, your spirit, your essence. The wisdom of the ancient people of Hawaii adds the magic. It’s pure, practical and positive. Dancing with intention and trusting whatever follows is a delight. Sharing Essence Dance monthly with the Forrest community, where we have a house, is my pleasure.
