Authentic Movement is a deep listening. Through the exchange - moving and being witnessed - we explore presence, perception, agency, and connection. Authentic Movement can become contemplative, relational, therapeutic, somatic or spiritual practice.

In the Workshop

We will begin with a movement warm-up designed to bring attention into sensation, breath, impulse, and space. We will then introduce the foundational principles of Authentic Movement|Dance through a combination of theory and experiential practice.

From there, we will explore different forms of moving and witnessing - in pairs, triads, and as a whole group - allowing the practice to unfold through exploration, observation, and reflection.

There is no choreography to learn and no particular way to move. The invitation is to listen, notice, and discover what becomes possible when we give the body space to speak through movement.

This workshop is for

caregivers, therapists, creatives, dancers, fathers, teachers, students, athletes, entrepreneurs, executives, elders, artists, writers, partners … newcomers to any embodiment practice at all.

those who

feel something they can't name - no words yet, just weight and pressure and pull

live in their heads, in analysis, and rarely drop below the neck

are mid-transition: grief, loss, an identity shedding its old shape

are drawn to less structured movement, to self-expression beyond language, to what's underneath performance

are rebuilding trust in the body

no experience needed

If you’re here, you’ve probably done the work, the books, the therapy, the deep talks, and yet the body still flinches, freezes, or floods. Somatic therapy begins where explanation ends, working directly with the body’s responses rather than trying to talk them away.

In short, Somatic Therapy is about staying with what is felt, offering presence to what was never met, and allowing unfinished experiences to find resolution.

We begin with your body as an intelligent system that has adapted to keep you safe. Together, we create the conditions for it to soften, reorganize, and rediscover a sense of safety, power, and choice.

We can work together on

Anxiety, stress, burnout

Living with a nervous system that rarely slows down: always scanning, anticipating, managing or holding things together. This can look like chronic anxiety, restlessness, difficulty resting or feeling tired but wired, even when nothing is “wrong”

Emotional support

Emotional support that focuses on building the capacity to feel a full range of emotions without being overwhelmed: sadness, anger, fear, joy, grief - as bodily experiences that can move, settle and transform.

Trauma

Working with the effects of experiences that were too much, too fast or too isolating for the nervous system to process at the time. Rather than focusing on the story of what happened, this work supports the body in gently releasing held patterns of protection and restoring a sense of safety, choice and presence.

Chronic Pain

When emotional or nervous system stress shows up physically as tightness, pain, fatigue, digestive issues or recurring discomfort - even when medical explanations feel incomplete.

Life transitions, identity shifts, uncertainty

Periods where old structures no longer hold: roles, beliefs, relationships or ways of coping - leaving the nervous system searching for new ground and orientation.
