I am a Transcultural Belly Dancer, currently based in NE Aberdeenshire, Scotland specialising in FCBD® Style. Please explore this site for more information.

My stage name, Mahina, is a reflection of my dance and spiritual journey. “Mahina” is the Hawaiian word for the waxing crescent moon (intriguingly, it also means “month” in Hindi). In Celtic Paganism, the waxing crescent represents the Maiden aspect of the Triple Goddess, and so Mahina represents vibrant, playful, femininity. The new moon also represents new beginnings, and so Mahina is a reminder to let go of past non-successes and to treat every day, and every event as a new beginning with endless opportunities.

I also make jewellery - check out my shop - Mahina Designs!
