For decades I was professional dancer and teacher of dance, and I received extensive training in body work. Since 2011, I have also been a practitioner of multiple modalities of energy medicine, and I now devote the majority of my time to energy medicine.<\/span><\/p><p>My goal is to promote healing in my clients on physical, mental, emotional, and energetic levels. I work with energy medicine clients individually, either in person or remotely. I also teach classes and workshops in energy medicine, body awareness, and dance. My energy medicine practice and approach to body work is informed and intertwined with decades of experience as a professional dancer and teacher.<\/p><p>The transition of dancer to energy medicine practitioner was spurred when I realized I had been practicing hands-on healing work throughout my dance career, and I sought out formal training. My energy medicine practice is informed by certifications as an Eden Energy Medicine Clinical Practitioner, Reiki Practitioner, and wingWave\u00a9 coach and by studies in shamanic practices and Jin Shin Jyutsu. It is further enriched through years of self-directed study and honing my skills as a conscious channeler.<\/p><p>The dance and body work classes I teach have evolved and been deeply enriched by energy medicine as well as somatic techniques I studied during my dancing career, including Feldenkrais, Alexander, and many others. As a dance teacher, my goal has always been to encourage students to find the joy in movement and discover ways to authentically express themselves.<\/p><div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\"><div class=\"section\"><div class=\"layoutArea\"><div class=\"column\"><p>Trained originally as a ballet dancer, I began performing at age 18 with Concert Dance Co., Mass., a modern dance company.
