Somatics and Dance-Movement Therapist at Movement Continuum - Are you looking for a healthier way to connect or reconnect with your body? Support in regulating your emotions? Better relationships? A place to explore your boundaries, needs and wants? Support through a difficult time? A safe space to process your life experiences? Are you seeking help for a diagnosed mental and/or physical health condition or non-diagnosed presentation?
I offer Somatics and Dance-Movement Therapy, a modality where somatic psychology and creative arts psychotherapies intersect. This empirically supported, holistic and interdisciplinary creative approach aims to cultivate expressivity and integration of physical, emotional, cognitive, cultural and social domains towards healing, wholeness and joy.
You are invited to a held, safe, welcoming and positive movement space and collaborative alliance. Dance skills are not required, because it is not about learning dance steps or routines, it is about exploring movement for your authentic expression. You are welcome exactly as you are. Reach out for a relaxed and confidential chat about your goals.
