Samarasa exists because of one extraordinary woman

My dearest mother, Savithri Moorthy, introduced me to dance, nurtured my creativity and had an extraordinary gift for bringing people together. Her warmth, compassion and generosity shaped not only the person I became, but the vision behind Samarasa. Every class, every performance and every celebration is a continuation of the kindness, compassion and community that she embodied.

​

She proudly served the NHS for over 20 years and is known for her infectious smile, boundless energy and unwavering kindness. Her greatest joy in life is bringing happiness to others. Although her physical presence is deeply missed, her legacy continues to inspire everything Samarasa stands for.

​

In November 2021, Haemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) took her life. HLH, a rare and life-threatening immune disorder, causes the body's immune system to become dangerously overactive, leading to widespread inflammation and potentially life-threatening organ damage. Because it is so rare, greater awareness, earlier diagnosis and continued research are essential to improving outcomes for patients and their families.

​

Samarasa is proud to support Histio UK, a charity dedicated to supporting families affected by histiocytic disorders, raising awareness and advancing vital research into conditions such as HLH. I would be incredibly grateful if you would consider making a donation. Every contribution, no matter how small, helps fund vital research, improve awareness and bring hope to families affected by these rare and devastating conditions.
