Hi! I’m Ali.
I’m a passionate, vibrant, disruptive human and dancer, here to encourage and inspire those around me to think deeper, be more intentional and experience true freedom.
I started my career at the ripe age of 17, after founding Bust a Move Dance (BAMD), one of Australia’s first inclusive dance companies for children, teens and adults with disabilities. Gaining unparalleled experience in the dance, education and advocacy spaces while also establishing myself as a respected business owner, I discovered a passion for Embodied Leadership, paving a path for me to explore both coaching and consultancy for Dance, fitness and wellness businesses, their leadership, teachers and teams.
Through running a Dance Business for over a decade, both in studio and online, from abroad and in person, I’ve learned to adjust my leadership approach through trial and error, allowing time to develop a bullet proof mindset and deep internal trust muscle. Because of this my clients and teams feel seen, heard and understood. They know, not only can I relate to their situation but can bring a level of expertise that they’re needing to step into their full potential as leaders and organizations.
There are many ways to work with me so swipe right and find out!
1:1 Leadership/Business coaching
If you are a Dance, Fitness or Wellness studio owner, solopreneur, entrepreneur and/or wanting to start a business within these spaces, this option is for you. I’ll guide you in getting really clear on your unique purpose, values and direction, supporting you to make conscious choices and taking aligned action in your business and personal life. We get to work closely together for up to 6 months, just think of me as your tough love, highly accountable cheerleader!
WHAT SEPARATES me from other coaches is my tough love approach and high level accountability. I am here to recognize the potential and hold you and your business to the visions you see for yourself.
Culture consultancy for Dance, Fitness & Wellness businesses
Are you unsure of what holds your organization together? Does team morale and commitment fluctuate? Are you spending time dealing with behaviour and having to give feedback often? This option is for you. It sounds like your organisation could benefit from creating shared values, best behaviours and feedback loops! I can facilitate sessions with your Leadership and staff to discover your internal values, for improved motivation, engagement, community commitment and overall increased performance. We can start with 3 sessions and go from there!
