Hi, I’m Tehillah.
Founder + Coach at Being Salt
I help trained and non-trained dancers develop intimate connection with God through coaching and movement devotionals so they can move past pretense + performance and get to know the signature dance-voice God has put inside of them to impact the world.
My expertise is in helping you connect the dots between your head, heart, and body so that you can experience freedom in your movement and worship. I provide tools and strategies to help you establish consistent and sustainable rhythms in your dance-practice with the Lord.
Stop going through the motions, wishing that knowledge would sink past your head and into your heart. Stop wondering if God likes your dance and if you’re worthy of experiencing his presence in your body. Stop the merry-go-round cycle of shame and feelings of failure that are hindering your ability to lead and create. Experience the depth of freedom Jesus has for you in your dancing!
Testimonial
"The most impactful thing for me was to see the idea of bringing dance into the conversation with the Lord not just as a physical expression of praise in corporate worship, but as something that's relationship-building. A connection point, intimacy that can lead the prayers when words can't express what's on the inside."

Here’s what you need to know about me.
I grew up as a pastor’s kid dancing wildly in worship - totally unconscious of the people around me and free to receive God’s delight.
When I started intense training at a Russian Ballet school and participated in the competition dance circuit I became wholly absorbed with technique and performance. I saved dance in worship for random moments and special holidays.
In the back of my mind I always had this idea that I could "turn on" my free-spirited worship if I wanted to, but it wasn’t necessary to cultivate or steward. The more I drifted away from that little girl dancing her delight with Jesus, the more I detached from my identity as a bold and free worshipper. I became stuck, lost, and insecure, even as I grew more capable and excellent in my dance training.
Throughout high school, God met me in several powerful episodes that shook me out of my small thinking and limited desires (read: ugly cry sessions). He could see my inner turmoil and refused to let me live in fear.
Fast forward through college, ministry school, and a professional dance career - I have seen God show up and grow the gift of dance in me in profound and formative ways.
Now I expect Him to speak to me as I dance and shift the atmosphere when I move. My dancing, performing, creating, and teaching have all been re-made as I intentionally connect with the heart of God for my life and for my dance.
Today, I help dancers return to their sweet spot of enjoying dance and receiving God’s delight over their worship as they heal the connection to their bodies, hearts, and minds.
Through intentional, specific, grace-filled steps, you can develop a sustainable, intimate practice of meeting God in your body, movement, and creativity.
Being Salt is about discovering the authentic flavor God has put inside of you, and boldly sharing that flavor with the world.

"Just watched your live video! I had never done anything like that with dance. I came out with Jesus' heart for me and new movements I couldn't think of without Holy Spirit inspiration! Thank you so much, can't wait for more."
