Hi, Dear One, and Welcome. My name is Giulia Carotenuto and I am a Somatic Movement Coach, Educator, and Embodiment Facilitator. I hold a MA in Dance/Movement therapy, a BFA in Dance Performance, 200-HR Yin and Vinyasa Yoga certifications, and decades of experience in the world of movement in all its forms. I am glad we crossed paths. No matter how you got here, you may have ended up on this site by accident or by purpose, following your own curiosity around forms of healing, growth and development that de-center our focus from our heads and brains, and redistribute our attention to the entirety of ourselves, mind-body-emotion. If so, you are in the right place, and I hope we will connect. And if you had no idea this is what this page was about and want to quickly sign off, hold on just a sec! Before you leave, I would like to invite you to feel the parts of your body that may be touching a surface, perhaps your sits bones on the chair, your feet firmly planted on the ground, your head on a pillow….and take a deep breath. Go ahead…big inhale through the nose…big exhale through the mouth… That’s it :) Well done. I am so happy you are here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200414e6c392b21205c209a/12bbd11c-1ed1-437c-8f61-d498e8f04ad9/Authentic+Movement.jpg Home B and W image of a two hands on a wooden floor https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200414e6c392b21205c209a/0224ab7f-ed71-4311-b091-2d1d1e853125/IMG_1632+2.jpg Home Image of a group of 7 people dancing and jumping https://www.healingdanceandmovement.com/therapy daily 0.75 2026-06-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200414e6c392b21205c209a/33afc560-2dc2-472e-8e17-2202d934445d/71408EBE-74F1-4DE5-A5ED-D00401C2037B.JPG Dance Movement Therapy https://www.healingdanceandmovement.com/about daily 0.75 2026-06-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200414e6c392b21205c209a/ea2364d6-07b9-41cc-bc64-e53adca150ee/campi+selfie.jpg About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200414e6c392b21205c209a/68c57ef5-be2b-4bbe-93a0-a711e3bde011/faye+legs+twist+no+face.jpg About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.healingdanceandmovement.com/workshops-and-other-offerings daily 0.75 2026-06-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200414e6c392b21205c209a/4ce62fcb-3c7f-43ee-a086-28fb0823b300/sing+circle+fall+25.jpg Work with Me - Authentic Movement FALL 2026 NYC Retreat DATES: Saturday September 26th and Sunday September 27th 10-5pm each day. LOCATION: The Floor on Atlantic (Downtown Brooklyn) REGISTRATION OPENS THURSDAY JUNE 25TH The Fall 2026 Authentic Movement Retreat is now confirmed! Grab your spot before it disappears. Spaces are limited as this is an intimate experience. This retreat is an invitation to come home to yourself and to your body, through mindful movement and somatic connection. During the course of two full days in the heart of NYC, we explore what it means to nourish the bodymind, support emotional release, cultivate inner awareness, and restore holistic well-being through movement, mindfulness, and embodied presence. We practice deep listening, to ourselves and to one another, creating space for what lives beyond words to move through us. With presence and surrender, we invite the unseen and the unfelt to take form through the body, co-creating a space for empathy, authenticity, and connection. Whether you are a seasoned dancer or someone who has never before entered a movement space, this work is for you. It is for anyone wanting to practice yielding to life, foster emotional healing, and find a deeper connection to themselves and the wisdom of their body in a safe and supportive environment.

Together, we create a space where conversation, movement, creativity, and embodied awareness can coexist, allowing the body and mind to enter into dialogue. Within this supportive and compassionate container, we explore the patterns, challenges, and aspirations that bring you here. Rather than relying solely on insight or conversation, we invite the wisdom of the body into the process through somatic awareness, guided movement, creative exploration, and mindfulness practices. Over time, many people develop a kinder relationship with themselves, greater trust in their inner experience, and a deeper capacity to navigate difficult emotions. Clients often discover new ways of working with long-standing patterns, feel more connected to themselves and others, and find the courage to make meaningful changes in their lives. If you're curious about whether this way of working might be a good fit for you, I invite you to schedule a free 20-minute consultation. We'll talk about what brings you here, answer any questions you may have, and explore together whether working together feels like the right next step. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200414e6c392b21205c209a/d39030be-19df-48b9-b7a5-b523467abe39/IMG_1632+2.jpg Work with Me - Embodiment through Dance Movement Therapy Weekly on Fridays, 2:30pm - 4:00pm EST until July 17th, 2026 Online Class, Open to Everyone "The mind is like the wind, and the body is like the sand.
