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 also part of an international artist collective "care culture" envisioning a more caring society through all forms of art.
I mostly work with films and poems but love to sing and write songs too.

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)

ACTIVIST, Artist, Educator & Dance counsellor(I.t.)

About me:

I hold many privileges:
I am white, Dutch-German, and a citizen with passport privilege, meaning I have never had to fear immigration issues. I was raised in a middle class, atheist household, with secure housing, consistent access to food, and reliable access to healthcare. I have thin privilege, and my family’s resources enabled me to attend a private apprenticeship institute.

I am also nonbinary still often femme-presenting, comfortable with both she and they pronouns and with being perceived as female, which shapes my experience differently than some of my nonbinary peers. I am queer and had the privilege of a supportive environment where my identity was not rejected, though I carried internalized queerphobia and compulsory heterosexuality that delayed my self-understanding. I am neurodivergent, living with severe ADHD, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, which made schooling extremely difficult and led me to drop out at seventeen without attending university.
I am hard of hearing and frequently sick; while I am not always perceived as disabled, these conditions impact my daily life. I have also struggled with anxiety but benefited from therapy, a privilege that motivates me to support others.

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.

I’m vegan but allergic to soy, which makes things interesting.
I live with severe ADHD—how I got diagnosed so late still surprises me—and I’m known for having multiple side quests at once.
