Rayna is my Hoop Master and she taught me everything that's important to me in hooping. This goes beyond technique, which she shares so well. She taught me to be kind to myself, to talk nicely to myself, to be patient with myself...to essentially love and cherish myself through the art of hooping. I marvel at her elegance, her beauty and her poise when she dances with her hoop. I will never achieve the grace she demonstrates, but I love the fact that I can enjoy myself and my hoop in my own special and unique way.
Rayna, I'm very serious when I say that you have that star quality in your dance and in your presence. I believe you have what it takes to succeed in business, to grow in your art, to actualize deeply in your human beingness, and come into your own when you are ready to become a mother.
Much, much aloha to you, sister. Mahalo nui loa for all that you've shared with me and with others through your art, your work and your Self.

Yeah, at first glance Rayna's hot, she moves like water and will steal your heart with her giggle. But scratch beneath the surface a bit, sit with her and chat, and you'll find something else . . . something truly extraordinary . . . someone deep and wiser than her years would imply . . . a healer . . . a visionary . . . a leader and a coach . . . a care giver and a best friend . . . a REAL friend . . . my best friend . . .
She's the best thing ever . . .

A true goddess. You are poetry and grace in motion. Fierce sexiness and childlike joy all at once. I delight whenever our paths cross - in your smile is a reminder of how simple and beautiful it all is. Truly inspiring.

This woman is a brilliant and extrodinary being! She's re-creating her own reality and touching everyone in her wake. She brings spirituality and self-awareness to her dancing, teachings, and being. Thanks for being YOU!

Rayna you are the most amazing and beautiful fire hooping goddess I know. Thanks for bringing hooping into my life. I would have never even thought about it if I hadn't been a safety at new year's and seen you perform. You are so patient and full of knowledge, light, and inspiration. Thank you for teaching me everything I know. And thank you for light me on FIRE! Oh, and every hoop this mama makes is absolutely frickin' gorgeous!

Rayna is a beautiful goddess bursting with positive energy! When she hoops she becomes a swirling, twisting, storm of bright, pure, healing light. She is, to say the very least, an inspiration to all those who surround her.

Galactic 2001 the sun rose and I picked my head up from the dusty ground and blinked and moaned and scratched at my dustboogers--
looked at the dancefloor and Rayna was dancing as hard as ever. It was a vision. Then I passed out with a new understanding of things. If you've seen her dance, well then you get it.
If you haven't, welp--sorry.

I absolutely love the holidays! I am so looking forward to heading out of town for a bit, relaxing & rejuvenating and visiting with family. This year I am headed to Ocean Springs, Mississippi, just outside of Biloxi! My boyfriend's brother took a job in Biloxi and had a house built in Ocean Springs, so we are all meeting up to celebrate the holidays in his new home!
I figured that I might as well teach some Hoopdance while I visit this new town, so I scheduled a couple of workshops at Riv...

I just returned this week from a week long trip to the amazing city of New Orleans, LA. Wow. What a magical place. The people there are so nice, so gracious. I loved it. The highlight of course (besides getting my fortune told) was operating our booth and performing at the Voodoo Music Festival ( www.voodoomusicfest.com). We shared the joy of Hoopnotic Hoopdance with thousands, through sharing our hoops and our performance. The event culminated in one of the most ecstatic fire hooping performa...
