I’m Li Tadaa, founder of Grow Up, Somatic Experiencing practitioner, facilitator and mother.
For the last 15 years, I’ve worked with thousands of people around the world, exploring what helps us feel more alive and joyful while staying grounded, emotionally mature and at ease in ourselves and our relationships.
My teachings are a reflection of my life. My years living and working with Hodi Dance Company in Mozambique led me to create Life is Rhythm in 2016. My exploration of pleasure through movement and tantra led me to create Dance Into Your Lust in 2018, and eventually my work with somatic trauma and attachment led me to create Grow Up in 2023.
Today, what matters most to me is that I live what I teach. I’m interested in what supports us to stay in what I call the midline, or our grown-up self, when life is actually happening: in our relationships, raising children, leading, getting triggered, making mistakes, repairing, and finding our way back to ourselves again.
And I don’t believe all of this work has to feel heavy. We also need joy, connection and community around us. That is a big part of what I want to invite people into through my work.
15+ YEARS facilitating - THOUSANDS of participants 18+ COUNTRIES teaching internationally
"One of the most difficult pieces to meet was realizing that I was going beyond my capacity while doing some of the things I loved the most: holding space, dancing and making love. This is why learning to grow up is not only about meeting our pain. It can also mean changing how we live, and sometimes even parts of who we have believed ourselves to be.."
