I am a Zen Shiatsu practitioner, yoga teacher, and Movement Medicine apprentice teacher. I have been on a healing path for 20 years, which has taken many forms–the thread running through has been desire for a deeper connection with ourselves, each other, and the natural world.
In June 2022 I had a sudden brain haemorrhage; life as I knew it stopped and I began
the road to recovery and acceptance of changes to my brain and body. I see recovery
not only as a personal journey, but as part of our shared human experience; so many
of us have to face a reality that is hard to bear. I resonate with Gabor Maté’s words:
“Recovery is not about living up to some image of perfection, but about returning to
the truth of who we are.”
This Spring I completed a training in Movement Medicine, after a decade of exploring
conscious movement. I made the decision to train to teach MM as I have found such
a deep resource in this practice and community. My intention is to extend the invitation to soulful, explorative movement, including for those in recovery. My approach to teaching is tender, sensitive and celebratory, rooted in the spirit of community and the creativity that flows through human connection.
“The dance is strong magic. The dance is a spirit. It turns the body to liquid steel. It makes it vibrate like a guitar. The body can fly without wings. It can sing without voice. The dance is strong magic: The dance is life.”
