Toni Bergins, MEd, founder and director of JourneyDance® and author of EMBODY: Feel, Heal and Transform Your Life Through Movement, is an artistic alchemist and passionate catalyst for transformation. For more than 27 years, she has guided thousands of people to move beyond perfectionism, end the “not-good-enough” crisis, and awaken their authentic expression in a world that needs all our healing now.

Through her signature blend of dance, expressive arts, ritual, and guided imagery, Toni invites people to feel, heal, and reclaim joy in their bodies. Her work empowers participants to transform angst into art and vulnerability into strength, expanding emotional bandwidth and deepening self-trust.

As the visionary leader of an international team of over 1,500 JourneyDance facilitators, Toni continues to spread the practice worldwide—bridging movement, music, and mindfulness to inspire collective healing and creative freedom. A recording artist, songwriter, and one-woman show creator, she weaves story and original music into performances that celebrate the beauty of transformation.

Toni offers teacher training, online courses, instructional classes, and private sessions in her Embodied Transformations Method. Her mission is simple yet radical: to get people into their bodies, awaken their innate wisdom, and dance themselves whole.
