Dori Curtis – Facilitator of Transformation

Dorianna Michelle Curtis (Edwards) is a trauma-informed facilitator, movement artist, energy alchemist, and holistic wellness guide devoted to creating safe, sacred containers for deep transformation. A certified 200-hour Yoga Teacher, BBTRS (Biodynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release System) Practitioner, and 9D Breathwork Facilitator, she bridges science and spirituality to help others release stored tension, awaken vitality, and return home to themselves.

Since founding Vive La Femme in 2006, Dorianna has guided hundreds of women through retreats and embodied journeys designed to reconnect them with their inner wisdom. From the Caribbean to the Midwest, her offerings weave breathwork, yoga, somatic movement, and sacred ritual into experiences that are both grounded and transcendent.

As the co-creator of Rooted & Radiant Retreats, Dorianna invites participants into a full embodiment transformation — a remembrance of the body as the temple of healing, the breath as the bridge to freedom, and community as the medicine. Rooted & Radiant was born from the understanding that the time is now — now to heal, to rise, and to live our most vibrant, authentic lives.

With roots as a teacher of Guinean dance, Waldorf Education, and Pure Barre, Dorianna brings over 20 years of experience in movement as medicine. Her classes and retreats honor nervous-system safety as the foundation of awakening, guiding others to shed layers of survival and step into coherence, joy, and embodied power.
