D, RP, CHT is a holistic artist healer and certified dance/movement therapist with more than 30 years of experience. She uses structure and/or authentic dance and movement to facilitate synergistic change. Her goal is to expose people to their predispositions by integrating movement, gestures, rhythms, breath, verbal and non-verbal communication with a less defended expression of the body. This also includes facilitating the revelation of repressed feelings, structured movement interventions, exploring alternative methods of resolving internal and interpersonal conflicts and supporting psychological growth in areas of self-empowerment, self-esteem and positive body image.
