Dance / Movement Therapy

Gain Healing and Insight Through Dance/Movement Therapy

I first discovered the healing power of dance in my late twenties. With no formal dance background, I stepped into a modern improvisational class that would shift the way I understood myself and my body. My instructor emphasized that dance wasn’t about perfecting technique—it was about expressing what was real and true. For the first time, I felt connected not just to movement, but to my whole being. That moment was the beginning of my journey into dance/movement therapy.

Since then, I’ve explored a range of embodied movement practices, from Afro-Cuban styles to yoga. This path led me to become a certified yoga instructor and earn my Master’s degree in Dance/Movement Therapy from Drexel University in 2007. Today, I support clients in using movement as a gateway to healing, insight, and greater self-connection.

What Is Dance/Movement Therapy?

Dance/movement therapy (DMT) is a somatic psychotherapy that uses movement, body awareness, and expressive techniques to support emotional, psychological, and physical well-being. It’s grounded in the understanding that the mind and body are deeply interconnected—and that movement can access and express what words sometimes cannot.

What Happens in a Session?

Dance/movement therapy is highly adaptable. Sessions may include:

Gentle movement or breathwork to help you feel grounded and present
Exploring posture, gesture, or habitual body patterns to increase awareness
Expressive movement to process emotions or tell a story through the body
Conversation and reflection to integrate the experience

Each session is shaped around your needs, comfort level, and goals. No dance experience is necessary.
