What is dance therapy?

Insurance Kayla can accept

“In Western society, there’s such a disconnect because everyone is on the go… we don’t have a lot of time to connect to ourselves and listen. Connecting to your own body, your own rhythm is healing and dance therapy can assist that process.”

Something that matters to me

I really value nature and all it can teach us in regards to our mental well-being. Finding moments to commune, ground and reflect in nature is important to me. I especially value the element of water as a dance therapist. Salt and fresh water are often in constant motion allowing for the ebbs and flows of life. I think we can learn alot about coping with life and our relationships from observing water. It is resilient, strong, malleable, consistent, graceful and comforting and then some. All qualities needed in order to navigate our day to day life, growth and development of self. As we embody these qualities, we too can come to a state of grounded fluidity and peace.
