Crystal's guidance and the Get Your Sexy Back class helped me rediscover my feminine side
and turn on and dial up my sexy. I loved it!
— Emily T, SF Student
.. I was really hesitant to try burlesque. But from the moment I stepped into Sparkleforce, I felt welcomed and accepted.
As someone who struggled with body image issues for years ...
Welcome to Sparkleforce's GLAM LAB
Where you remember whoTF you were before the life dimmed you
You're not broken. You never were.
Not shrinking into the background or out skirts to feel safe. Taking up space here and now without apologising for it.
Taking up space without apologising
Knowing I was here to create transformations before anyone told me otherwise.
And The Glam Lab? This is where you remember her.
Knowing my own magic
They are still in there.
Forgetting how to have fun and let loose in my body.
The girl who dances in her bedroom mirror
Somewhere between
"be a good girl*" and "act your age," I forgot who I was
Now...

But through burlesque: the historic art of reclaiming your body, your power and your pleasure through movement, presence and a little bit of rebellion.
Not through surface-level self-care that leaves you feeling the same.
Not by adding extra to your all ready overloaded life.
Not by shrinking to make someone else comfortable.
Not by self critique before someone else criticises me.
I'm not here to teach you burlesque because I took a few classes in it - I've lived this transformation myself and I am so passionate about it. From the "good girl" who dimmed her light to the person who now ignites stages and helps others remember their power.
I've spent over a decade mastering The Sparkle System to regulate nervous systems through movement.
I've guided hundreds of women* to reclaim their magnetic confidence - because I know exactly what it feels like to forget who you are and exactly how to remember.
Kia ora,
I'm Crystal!

Here's the truth: You can't "confidence" your way out of a dysregulated nervous system. Every other program failed because they tried fixing your mindset when the real problem was your body keeping score of decades spent shrinking.
You're not fading. You just need to regulate so you can access your power again.
That's what we do here. 💋✨
In 2015 when I started teaching, I discovered burlesque could change lives -but my students would nail routines in class and freeze on stage. It wasn't about the moves. It was their nervous systems stuck in fight-or-flight.
So I created The Sparkle System - nervous system regulation with a burlesque bow, deepened through postgraduate Neuroscience studies and somatic therapies.
Then life tested me: four brain injuries over five years and stage 4 endometriosis. I had to use everything I taught just to survive.
I'd moved back to my mum's. Two family members died within three months. I was drowning in grief, on a performance management plan at work, making mistakes everywhere.
Life had knocked the stuffing out of me.
I couldn't enter a supermarket without panic attacks. I'd lost all confidence. I was invisible, anxious, disconnected.
I was a hot mess.
I resonate with how you feel, because I've been there
When I first enrolled in a burlesque class in 2010, it took FOUR tries to walk through the door into class. I was terrified.
My marriage had collapsed
If you're feeling lost - I see you. I've been you.
And I know what worked for me 💋✨
But burlesque became my lifeline. It brought laughter, creativity, and permission to take up space again. It taught me to regulate my nervous system and reignite my spark.

Burlesque didn't just save me - it transformed me.
That anxious woman* who couldn't walk into a supermarket? They have now completed 10 international tours to the USA (and counting).
I've performed for burlesque legend Tempest Storm. Taught at Burlycon twice. Served on the Burlesque Hall of Fame Media team.
In 2018, I won the Golden Legend Champion Challenge Golden Stripper in Denver Colorado, USA.
Fast forward to 2025
Then I went on to win 6 more awards across 3 more countries. But here's what matters most: It wasn't about the trophies or the stages. It was about remembering who I was underneath all that grief, anxiety, and trauma.
Burlesque gave me the tools to regulate my nervous system, reclaim my confidence, and reignite my spark—and those same tools are what I now teach inside The Glam Lab.
Because if I can go from panic attacks in the supermarket to performing on international stages - you can absolutely reclaim your magnetic confidence too. 💋✨🔥

Here's what my peers are saying about me
Here's another of my fabulous students story ...
She came to Sparkleforce hiding behind baggy clothes—desperately wanting to be seen but terrified of it. Sound familiar?
She went through Get Your Sexy Back and performed her story as a burlesque routine at her 50th birthday. She was nervous, but she nailed it.
Then she shared something that still brings tears to me: for years, she hated underwear shopping so much she'd take her husband to Farmers and buy men's boxers for herself.
During the course? TK walked into the women's section alone and bought matching lingerie sets.
That's what nervous system regulation does.
It's not just stage confidence - it's feeling safe enough in your skin to buy yourself pretty underwear.
TK did not become someone new. She remembered who she already was. 💋✨
Do you want to try this for your self?
Introducing TK ...
Using burlesque: the historic art of reclaiming your body, your power and your pleasure through movement, presence, and a little bit of rebellion.
This is a nervous system revolution disguised as a burlesque class. Because here's what you're not told:
Your body remembers everything.
Every time you shrunk to make someone comfortable.
Every time you dimmed your light to fit in.
Every time you chose "appropriate" over authentic.
The Glam Lab isn't here to add more to your to-do list.
It's here to help you regulate your nervous system so you can access your Sexy State - that place where you feel alive, magnetic, and unapologetically YOU.
Here's something interesting...
Your nervous system has been keeping score
and it's exhausted.
Crystal before they started burlesque and after
A place where:
A rebellion against:
The "good girl" conditioning that keeps you small
The narrative that women fade with age (spoiler: we don't—we IGNITE)
Partners and systems that benefit from you staying invisible
Wine-and-whinge band-aids that numb instead of transform
This is for the woman who's done playing by the rules.
✨ You catch your reflection and think "DAMN" instead of critiquing
✨ Desire isn't something you fake—it's something you FEEL
✨ You say no without guilt and people actually respect it
✨ You walk into a room and don't shrink—you sparkle
✨ The 10K pay rise happens because you stopped undervaluing yourself
✨ The right partner shows up because you're no longer tolerating the wrong one
✨ You wear the outfit, take the trip, eat the cake—because you're done waiting for permission
And burlesque?
It's the key that unlocks it.
This is your Sexy State
The Glam Lab isn't a fix.
It's a remembering and rebellion.
🔥 She* was never too much
- the world was just too small
🔥 Her body is not the problem
- the conditioning is
🔥 Pleasure is not selfish
- it's her* birthright
🔥 She does not need fixing
- she needs IGNITING

Crystal helped me become the person I was meant to be.
I love my body just how I am, sexy, big and bold. Thank you so much Crystal for bringing out the sexy in me.
Crystal creates an environment where every body is celebrated and every story is honored

Remember TK's story? Here's her own words...
Before doing Crystal's Get Your Sexy Back, I would wear baggy tracksuit pants, big t-shirts and hoodies. My body image was 'fat, heavy and overweight' and I wouldn't dream of performing - I thought 'sparkly and sexy' was only for skinny people!
Once attending Crystal's courses AND actually performing on stage in Wellington with her routine, I had the courage for my 50th birthday to perform in front of my family and friends - something some people were totally shocked with!
I still wear baggy tracksuit pants when I want to, lol, but I am no longer afraid to be vulnerable to what others say I should or should not do, should not wear or should not dare to be.
Do you want to try this for your self?
I love my body just how I am, sexy, big and bold.
Thank you so much Crystal for bringing out
the sexy in me.
Introducing something a lil cheeky and saucy...

What our Students are saying
Joining Sparkleforce was the best decision I've ever made. As a mother of two, I had lost touch with my sensual side and felt disconnected.
Through Crystal's guidance, I've not only learned the art of burlesque but also had a shift in my internal world and confidence
The supportive community at Sparkleforce has helped me embrace my sensuality and celebrate my unique beauty. I am forever grateful for this journey.
Crystal creates an environment where every body is celebrated and every story is honoured
Sparkleforce is a sanctuary of self-love and sisterhood. The bonds I've formed with other students have been just as transformative as the classes themselves.
Who This Is Perfect For?
Craves spaces where she can be wild, wise and wholly seen
Knows pleasure is power not just productivity
