Kellita Maloof joins me for a provocative exploration of dance and performance art as a tool for root cause healing.  Kellita is a Performing and Teaching Artist, Embodiment Facilitator and Conscious Burlesque Mentor, known lovingly as "The Showgirl Shaman."  Queen of Carnaval San Francisco 2008 and 5-time finalist at the Burlesque Hall of Fame, Kellita founded award-winning dance troupe Hot Pink Feathers in 2000. In 2010 she created her signature program, Burlesque From The Inside Out, which guides participants to birth a custom, soul-sourced burlesque act, witnessed in a safe and sacred container… being fully seen—unapologetically– as themselves.  In Burlesque From The Inside Out, Kellita's experience as a dancer and choreographer dovetail with her experience as a tender and safe space holder and her experience as a practitioner of modalities such as Transformational NLP, EFT, Systemic Constellations and Interpersonal Neurobiology.Kellita works at the intersection where burlesque dance meets depth psychology meets attachment theory meets individuation meets autoimmune recovery meets spirituality.  For over 20 years, she's been helping kind, soulful, highly sensitive helpers who've been over-editing, over-managing and over-giving – and are attracted to dance theater, expressive arts performance and glitter – to trust and express themselves with confidence, presence and radiance. Kellita's mission is to support folks in dusting off the fountain of Self-Love that was hiding right in the center of their very own shimmy.
