We all have the opportunity to experience our bodies as vehicles for transformation. The body always speaks our truth.

I went through enough trauma in my teens and twenties to either fall apart or get really strong and clear. I did both.
Dealing with an enormous amount of loss as a young person, I began to seek out a more embodied way to survive.

I saturated myself in therapeutic forms of dance and movement, guided imagery, and lots of traditional psychotherapy. My body began to lead me into more powerful levels of joy than I could have imagined.

As I moved through a rigorous academic training in psychiatric social work and clinical psychotherapy, I sought out ways of using the body to elicit emotional shifits. My world became a living laboratory where music and movement were the catalysts to emotional and physiological change.

My father had been a great healer, always learning, and continuing to nourish and support his students generously, until his early death. What a gift I received. I witnessed an authentic teacher. And very slowly, was becoming one.

After many years of learning, in the classroom, and out, I have had the honor of leading hundreds of dance classes and healing sessions where folks are so present, so in the moment, that time stops.

In the many workshops I took, I felt flow in motion. I learned that as we move, we create living art; sculptures, moving creations. My moods would improve enormously as I learned to access breathe, motion, connection and joy.

Movement gives us permission to trust each other. We look each either in the eye, show off our realness with delight, and are met by another human, just as as real, as raw, as stunning.

With my clients, I continue to witness incredible shifts and transformations. I have become a keen observer of all of our best parts, and shine the light on them again and again.

We share this aliveness in workshops. The healing dance that I lead reminds me that we are all dancers. Here there is no competition. We are all in perfection together. When we dance without inhibition, we can truly come to a place of flow. This is the bliss I know.
