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 Psychotherapy, 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/1644340308132-PHUJ8RCJJ821ZSNDU6A5/unsplash-image-zn0yTrryWDc.jpg Home Image of woman in orange dress in a standing back bend. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200414e6c392b21205c209a/92053948-fdf7-4c51-8e06-e33cedf00614/unsplash-image-dEVHukGkHq4.jpg Home Image of a girl twirling in a blue dress with arms overhead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200414e6c392b21205c209a/b8e325c2-ae64-4605-b416-4a3313dfd8fb/embrace+tyfc.jpg Home Image of a group of 8 people hugging and skipping https://www.healingdanceandmovement.com/therapy daily 0.75 2024-03-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200414e6c392b21205c209a/33afc560-2dc2-472e-8e17-2202d934445d/71408EBE-74F1-4DE5-A5ED-D00401C2037B.JPG Dance Movement Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200414e6c392b21205c209a/12bbd11c-1ed1-437c-8f61-d498e8f04ad9/Authentic+Movement.jpg Dance Movement Therapy Dance Movement Therapy, unlike traditional talk therapy, focuses on physically moving through the challenges we are facing, addressing how they are informed by and affect our body. Through a combination of talking, moving, engaging creativity and resilience, and practicing somatically informed mindfulness, DMT addresses that which ails us in a holistic and wholesome way, bringing from conscious awareness into movement and active change that which has been laying in the unconscious layers of our body-mind-emotion continuum. https://www.healingdanceandmovement.com/coaching daily 0.75 2023-06-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200414e6c392b21205c209a/1644258883275-GQ3769ZUV3L38QWABLTL/unsplash-image-dOhJtfXJZfw.jpg Somatic Coaching - To bring changes to our psychological and emotional selves, we must also and perhaps first address our physical, sensing, moving selves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200414e6c392b21205c209a/d26da183-e5d4-4a3d-abd8-ebac0d034ce0/58169CD9-238D-48EA-B729-6D5EE9C6A3AA.JPG Somatic Coaching Somatic Coaching Whether you are feeling stuck in your career, your relationship/s, or your overall patterns, chances are that your body is stuck too, regardless of whether you have noticed or not. If you have noticed, great! You are a (huge) step ahead of the game and you are in the right place to take the next steps. If you haven’t, then you are absolutely in the right place, so we can begin the journey of unraveling what is blocking you and together find what needs to move, both within and outside of you. Our personal and professional happiness, satisfaction and potential are tightly linked to the conscious and unconscious kinetic choices we make. Our habits are deeply anchored in our bodies, and directly affect our intentions, making the difference between limitation and possibility. Somatic Coaching can help you gain insight into how your somatic and kinetic patterns are linked to the way you experience and move through the world. Together we will find concrete and practical tools to change your patterns and free yourself to live the life you wish for and deserve. https://www.healingdanceandmovement.com/about daily 0.75 2025-07-29 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 2026-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200414e6c392b21205c209a/1711214904988-M6REIRW8E5GVHR8V6IP9/image-asset.jpeg Work with Me - Private Somatic Movement Therapy Online For those seeking individualized support in navigating life’s challenges from a holistic, body-based perspective, I offer private Somatic Movement Therapy sessions virtually—available to clients anywhere in the world.

The Authentic Movement 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. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6200414e6c392b21205c209a/c85de5a6-41eb-45f2-b94c-b20067b676eb/ginny-rose-stewart-UxkcSzRWM2s-unsplash.jpg Work with Me - Private Yin and Yang Yoga Classes On top of holding a BFA in Dance, an MA in Dance Movement Therapy, and decades of experience in the field of movement and the body, Giulia is a also 200-hr certified Yin and Yang (Vinyasa) Yoga Teacher, providing private online classes to people of all ages and backgrounds from a compassionate, holistic, and mindfulness-based approach.
