OUR STORY

THE GDT BIRTHING

OUR STORY

THE GDT BIRTHING

In 2009, when I had my daughter, I hit rock bottom. I knew I couldn’t just keep going through the motions, feeling half alive. That’s when I turned to African dance and deepened my faith, which completely transformed my life.

Dancing helped me release all those pent-up emotions, and reconnecting with God reminded me of who I was meant to be. Inspired by Genesis 1:26-27,

Chefi's program helped me feel less afraid and more connected to my body. She accomplished this through helping me to normalize and depersonalize the experience of trauma. Her compassionate presence and willingness to be vulnerable in sharing her own story created a supportive container for facing my pain. Setting aside a limited, yet specific block of time and Chefi's acknowledgement that releasing trauma can be a difficult and takes time made it more accessible. Setting an intention and focusing on being safe in the present moment grounded me. Staying connected to the beat and using the forceful dance movements and accompanying sounds kept me embodied as the traumatic energy was releasing. Letting go and allowing the fluid rhythms to guide me made it a unified body-mind-spirit experience that resulted in feeling lighter and freer.

"Coach Chef's vibrant energy lights up the room as she teaches and empowers you through Afro dance. Her class allows for your body to feel the rhythm which gives your soul the chance to expressively release through movement. This dance experience was a perfect example of tapping into your inner power. I recommend her class!

FAQ

What exactly is Genesis Dance Therapy?

 Genesis Dance Therapy is a unique healing approach that blends African dance, movement-based psychotherapy, faith-based insights, and neuroplasticity principles. It’s designed to release stored trauma, ease chronic pain, improve mental health and help you reconnect with your body and purpose.

African dance involves fluid, rhythmic movements that naturally help unlock tension in areas like the hips, shoulders, and spine—places where trauma and stress often accumulate. Its dynamic nature also boosts circulation, elevates mood, and encourages emotional release.

While Genesis Dance Therapy is rooted in the transformative wisdom of the Word of God, it’s open to anyone seeking deeper healing. The faith component offers hope and a sense of purpose, but no specific religious background is required.

Neuroplasticity refers to the brain’s ability to form new neural pathways. Through guided movement, coaching, and positive reinforcement, Genesis Dance Therapy helps replace old, harmful thought patterns with healthier, more supportive ones for lasting change.

Chronic pain often stems from emotional trauma stored in the body. Gentle yet effective African dance movements help release tension and stress in tight muscle areas, offering relief and improved mobility over time.

Yes. Genesis Dance Therapy addresses the root causes of mental health struggles by releasing stored emotional trauma, reshaping thought patterns, and providing tools for better mood regulation and stress management.

No dance background is required. The focus is on mindful movement, not on perfect choreography. The steps are adapted to your comfort level, ensuring everyone can participate safely and effectively.

The program is designed with busy individuals in mind, offering flexible sessions and efficient techniques that provide significant benefits without requiring hours in a traditional gym setting.

Absolutely. The movements can be modified for people of different ages, body types, and physical conditions. The goal is to meet you where you are, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all.

While everyone’s journey is unique, many participants notice improvements—such as reduced tension or enhanced mood—after a few sessions. Consistent practice leads to deeper, more lasting transformations.

They can be combined or offered separately, depending on your needs. Some sessions focus heavily on dance and movement, while others include coaching conversations and spiritual insights. In many cases, I blend both seamlessly in a single session—beginning with physical release through dance and then using coaching to help you process emotions, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence.
