Beginning from within, movement will start with stillness and silence, a gentle meditation to feel connected to our souls. Followed by the opening of the fluid channel around our spine. Our spines are the connection between earth and sky, and it is the home of the central nervous system. As we work with the spine, we calm the mind, and open the gates of the body. From there, we will flow into guided floor prompts to open our range, and expand fully into intuitive improvisation and the primal force of play.
We would love to welcome you in this sacred circle and heart beat of Percussive Pulse.
Chloe spent her youth deep in the study of world movement forms. She explored the underground street dance and rave scenes of Metro Manila for 12 years, pivoting into traditional folk forms of West African dance, Malay and Javanese dance, downtown dance scenes of New York, Odissi Indian dance, and Kalaripayattu martial arts. She integrates her pilgrimages by deep diving into the intelligence of the body, simplifying practice through the healing arts, and working with the spine as an accessible approach to safely opening the body.
Having grown up with selective mutism, difficulty of speaking was an invitation for Chloe to express through her body. She developed a kinaesthetic intelligence and can attune to the unspoken stories of bodies. Today, Chloe works as a somatic therapist and embodiment facilitator, bridging the perceived mind-body separation (anxiety, trauma, burn out) through therapy, workshops, and retreats. She is the creator of Body as Earth and believed that deep change and belonging always begins with the body.

Biodynamic Somatic Therapy is a method of gently realigning the body’s dynamics to release tension, restore balance, and support holistic healing from chronic pain, stress, and emotional volatility.
Biodynamic Somatic Therapy (BST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that works with the body’s natural rhythms to reorganise from misaligned or overworked states into more fluid, available, and spacious states of internal harmony.
Rooted in Craniosacral dynamics, BST focuses on the spine—the core of the central nervous system—helping to address chronic pain, fatigue, anxiety, insomnia, and the lingering effects of trauma.
