Work with Me
One-on-One Somatic Coaching
For those wanting individualized support navigating specific challenges in their lives from a holistic and body-based perspective, I offer private somatic coaching, both in person (NYC) and virtually (anywhere in the world).
My approach, always trauma informed, draws from Dance/Movement Therapy, Attachment Theory, Polyvagal Theory, Laban and Bartenieff Movement Systems, and other invaluable Somatic Movement resources and tools.
Within the container of a safe holding environment, together we will explore your challenges, obstacles, psychophysical background and history, and desired areas of growth, all through a bottom-up approach that takes into consideration the totality of your body-mind-emotion.
If you would like to find out if this type of work is right for you, contact me to book a free consult.
Authentic Movement Group
Saturdays, 1-3pm, Brooklyn (NY)
Starts 6.1.2024
If you are seeking a space to delve deeper into a specific movement practice, I am again offering an in-person Authentic Movement group, starting Saturday June 1st, 2024. In this group we will focus on the Discipline of Authentic Movement as created by the late Janet Adler. The Discipline of Authentic Movement asks us to quiet our minds enough to be able to listen and respond to what inevitably wants to arise from the consciousness of our bodies. Through the relationship of mover and witness, participants share deep movement experiences with one another and with the group as a whole. This deep-dive into the body's wisdom can be a wildly transformative journey.
To learn more on the Discipline of Authentic Movement, see here .
For more information about the group and to book your spot, contact me here.
Group closes at 12 participants.
Somatic Movement Therapy Group
New SMT group will commence in
late Summer/early Fall 2024
NYC
Are you someone who responds better to group therapy versus one-on-one work? Would you like to explore Somatic Coaching and Embodied Growth in the safe container of a closed group? Contact me to save your spot for the next Somatic Movement Therapy Group beginning late Summer/early Fall 2024.
The group is designed to offer you a safe space in which to explore relevant themes and challenges through our creative bodies in movement, while in relation to others also navigating their own sets of challenges. In this group we explore a bottom-up approach to healing that rests on the conviction that our mind, body, emotion, and spirit live in a continuum, and are deeply interrelated. This group is for anyone wanting to deepen their relationship with themselves in a therapeutic setting that provides space for inner reflection while also investing in a group process. Contact me for more information and to book your spot.
Group closes at 12 participants.
Embodiment through Dance Movement Therapy
Ongoing drop-in Class
Mondays 10am-11:45am
Saturdays 10:30am-12pm
Gibney Dance Studios, 280 Broadway, NYC
Curious about DMT? Join me every Monday and Saturday in my “Embodiment through Dance Movement Therapy” class! This class is designed to offer a space for participants to experience Dance Movement Therapy as a means to engage with their inner worlds, explore their relationship to their own sense of embodiment, and uncover that which exists in the depths of their bodies' innate wisdom and knowing. This is all done in a safe, curious, playful, non-competitive, and creative environment, designed to provide support, healing, and different perspectives on movement, what movement is and how it wants to express itself in each of us, and each person's intrinsic relationship to it.
