Specialties
As a somatic movement educator, therapist, and bodyworker, I partner with clients interested and engaged in their bodies to investigate and refine their movement patterning. Certified in many modalities of mind-body care, I utilize Pilates equipment, awareness techniques, personalized choreography, and hands-on myofascial facilitation with private clients. As a dancer and choreographer I also offer classes in dance improvisation, technique, choreography, and wellness.
