I am a dance/movement therapist in private practice in the Madison Valley area of Seattle.
Dance/movement therapy uses talk therapy, movement and stillness to bridge the body's own wisdom and imagination with the conscious mind.
I bring to my work as a therapist compassion, humor, and creativity, as well as a wide range of potential ways of working. I also believe firmly in the healing power of our connection with nature, and often invite clients to explore and deepen this connection in their own lives.
Sessions will involve talking as well as the possibility of using creative movement to deepen the therapeutic process and access the healing potential of the body’s own wisdom and imagination. Many clients are initially nervous about the idea of using movement in therapy, but quickly see how it can be both a gentle and powerful way of increasing insight and healing in the therapeutic process.
No training or previous experience with movement or dance is needed

Additional Information
In addition to my practice, I also teach Ecodance Seattle.
Part improvisational movement class, part movement based meditation and shamanic journey, Ecodance becons you to explore your inner nature and your connection to the Earth. Come as you are, with your unique body of experience.
I founded Ecodance in response to my yearning to help people fully remember their connection to nature and to allow nature to participate in their own healing and growth.
Ecodance takes place every Tuesday evening from 7:30-9pm at M'illumino Studio, 6921 Roosevelt Way NE, Seattle, WA 98115 (five blocks north of Whole Foods and East West Bookstore).
This is a drop-in class. Cost is $15/class.
