I'm so glad you're here!

I'm a queer neurodivergent human, working in the intersection between social justice and dance therapy.

I'm training to become a dance-therapist and my approach is tied to my understanding of healing justice.

I’m not the kind of counsellor who just listens silently and nods. For me, healing happens in spaces of trust and mutual respect, where we show up as ourselves—messy, complex, and full of contradictions. I believe in the power of deep connection and being present for each other’s stories.
My role isn’t to fix you but to walk alongside you.

Leonora Feliz (she/they)

Educator & Dance counsellor

About me:

I benefit from several privileges: I’m white, Dutch-German, and a citizen, so I’ve never faced immigration barriers. I grew up in a middle-class, atheist household with stable housing, food, and healthcare. I’m thin, and my family’s financial situation allowed me to attend a private apprenticeship program.

As a nonbinary person but don’t mind being perceived as female—though this isn’t the case for everyone. I’m queer, and while I had a supportive environment, I internalized queerphobia and compulsory heterosexuality, which delayed my self-acceptance.

I’m neurodivergent (ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia), which made school incredibly difficult. I`m a high-school dropout and never went to university. I’m also hard of hearing and frequently sick; while not always visibly disabled, these conditions shape my daily life. I’ve struggled with anxiety but had access to therapy, which motivates me to support others in similar situations.

Some facts about me:

My current hyperfocus is collaging, and I have a huge faible for everything green.
I’m often so impatient that I skip ahead in movies and books, and I need to eat almost constantly.
I sometimes motivate people to take cold baths but usually only go halfway myself.
As a kid, I once won a giant pumpkin by guessing its exact weight.
