Movement and Self-Care: For many years, I understood dance as a language, a form of expression, an artistic discipline. With time — and through the body — I came to understand something deeper: movement is the origin of the way I inhabit the world.
I am not speaking only about dancing. I am speaking about how I move through life, about the small and constant decisions I make to take care of myself, about the way I relate to my environment and to others. Dance has taught me to listen, to breathe twice before acting, to respect my rhythms and to live from a more conscious place.
The holistic woman I embody
I consider myself a holistic woman not as a label, but as a daily practice. I try — with coherence and without striving for perfection — to live in a way that is respectful towards myself and the environment that surrounds me.
I walk with barefoot shoes because I have learned to trust the natural intelligence of the body. I choose menstrual underwear because it reconnects me with my cycles and reduces my environmental impact. I don’t eat meat, I recycle, I take care of what I consume and how I consume it. Not from rigidity, but from listening.
All of this did not arrive suddenly. Dance showed me the way. Through movement I learned that the body does not need to be forced, but accompanied. That where there is awareness, there is health. And that care is not a luxury — it is a form of presence.
Breathing, travelling, expanding
Moving has also meant learning how to breathe. To pause. To create spaces of silence within the noise. Conscious breathing — so closely linked to my body practice — has become an essential tool to regulate myself, to sustain myself and to return home.
And moving has meant, quite literally, travelling. Travelling to open my mind, to question what I had learned, to remain a student of life. Each journey has expanded my perspective and reinforced one certainty: when the body moves, consciousness expands.
Care as a cure for the soul
Over the years I have understood that care is not only physical. It is emotional, energetic and spiritual. It lives in daily gestures that bring us back to our centre. To care for oneself is to listen. And to listen is a profound form of self-love.
That is why everything I integrate into my life needs to resonate with this vision: ethics, respect, coherence and real wellbeing. Not only what I do, but also what I use.
Ringana: when self-care becomes coherence
From this place, Ringana enters my path. Not as a coincidence, but as a natural consequence. A brand that understands wellbeing from the inside out, working with fresh, vegan, ethical and sustainable products.
Ringana represents, for me, a form of self-care aligned with my values: respect for the body, the skin, the environment and natural processes. A kind of care that does not invade, but accompanies. That does not promise miracles, but constancy and awareness.
Integrating Ringana into my life is a continuation of what dance gifted me years ago: movement is the origin, and care is the path.
A path that continues
This is not a destination, but another step along the way. I continue learning, moving, adjusting and listening. Because conscious living is a living process — just like dance.
And if there is one thing I wish to share from here, it is this: caring for ourselves is a profound act of love towards ourselves and towards the world we inhabit.
From the body, everything.
