In this emotional ep, Bernadette talks about how she began her career, “emotional spanks,” and more. She cannot help but speak her truth, and gosh, does it ever resonate.

Bernadette believes that movement is an important aspect of learning, which is why her Femme! experiences are body inclusive, providing a safe space for people of all ages, backgrounds and body types to find peace and empowerment while moving with the music to tap into their emotions.
