Storytellers

Gabrielle Rivero is a movement storyteller who believes the body remembers what words often cannot express. With over 20 years of dance experience, she founded the Lenae Release Method and leads Express & Release Therapeutic Dance, guiding people of all ages to reconnect with themselves through movement. Her path blends artistry and scholarship; while earning her M.A. in Theology, Gabrielle studied the role of dance in Early Christianity, uncovering how communities once used movement to heal, express, and find freedom. Inspired by this history, she created a research-based, trauma-informed method that helps others release stored emotions and reclaim well-being. Her work centers empowerment, emotional restoration, and the belief that transformation begins in the body.
