How my journey began

Hi! I’m Sydni—stage name, SydViciouz.

Movement

My movement journey began with gymnastics as a kid into my teenage years and morphed into an exploration of jazz, hip hop, ballet and pole dancing as an adult. However, the real journey began in my adult years. The liberation of escaping my (un)conscious mind and plunging into deeper layers of myself through movement.

You know that feeling when you first arrive at the beach, have all of your stuff set up, and just sit down, basking in the beauty of what is the ocean? That’s what movement does for me. A cathartic release of all the sh*t I carry mentally and physically, while making room for only what is true in that moment. The best part about movement is that the liberated feeling is already within you. We crave what we already have. We just need to be open to it and lean in.

My mission is simple. I want to help others explore this piece of freedom that exists through movement... It’s the beginners that I love to connect with. Sifting your way through the discomfort of things that don’t feel good at first or are too scary—only to find that these are the moments that shape who you are today.

Wine

I fell in love with wine in college… starting with boxed wine because that’s what I could afford. But even then, wine made me feel creative, curious, and a little fancy — and that small spark turned into a full-on passion.

As I learned more, I became obsessed with the stories behind every bottle: the regions, the labels, the winemakers, the styles. Eventually I realized… I don’t just love drinking wine — I want to make it.

In 2022, I earned my WSET Levels 1 & 2, and in 2022 I completed a harvest internship in Oregon’s Willamette Valley through Our Legacy Harvested, making Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. It was hard, messy, beautiful work — and it confirmed that wine is where my heart is.

What inspires me today is simple:
🍇 Wine is art.
🌱 Wine comes from nature.
🤝 And wine should be accessible, not elitist.

My dream? To own a vineyard one day, steward the land with sustainable practices, and help create a more inclusive, welcoming wine world. If my work can make even a 0.5% positive impact — on the planet or on someone’s curiosity — that’s enough for me.

Every bottle tells a story. This is mine so far. 💫
