Patricia Laufer is a Brazilian-born movement and energy guide who blends intuition, dance, and joy into transformative experiences. After 25 years in the corporate world in New York City, she left her desk job and fluorescent lights behind to become a yoga teacher in the Catskill Mountains. There, her deep exploration of energy and intuition began. Over the next decade, she trained extensively and began facilitating group and one-on-one Intuitive Guidance sessions to help people gain clarity and perspective.

Patricia now shares Hoop Dance Activation in studios, retreats, and private groups. She also created the Hoop Dance Activation Oracle Deck to help others access this playful and potent tool for self-discovery.
