Somatic Movement Education
I currently work with clients in the age ranges of 20's to 90's. Common threads among my clients are: seeking alternative ways of being active, addressing areas of pain/discomfort, and engaging with life from a place of discovery and with a holistic perspective.
Developing one’s intuition and self-agency, supported by scientific understanding, is a primary aspect of our sessions as we engage in somatic (“of the living body”) explorations.
Movement research and multi-disciplinary arts
Cultivating Living Forms (process and support) for relationship, self-care, dynamic movement and creative expression.
Living Forms— a series of one-with-one courses (6 week to 12 month), small group workshops, week-long retreats and collaborative projects that have been developed and implemented in various environments over several years.
Please contact me directly for a list of courses, workshops, and retreat offerings.
