I understand movement and dance as the non-verbal language of the soul.  I always found the dancefloor was my escape, where I was able to be me, listen to me and spiritually connect to something with in me. I knew intuitively that this was a healing space but could not quite figure out what or how the experience of movement was so special. This curiosity lead me on my journey of self- discovery and specialized academia to better understand it. 

Following both undergraduate and post graduate psychological studies in South Africa I completed my Masters degree in Dance Movement Psychotherapy in London. I learned the intricate details of the human mind, body and soul in relationship to others. In my travels across Asia and Europe I witnessed different cultures, experiences, languages and daily rhythms of livelihood which highlighted how spoken language is a luxury not a necessity. 

Organically, I gravitated towards work experience within the spaces of learning disability and psychosis .  Co-creating a language of movement where verbal capacity is limited has been extremely meaningful to me.

After becoming a mom, my empathy for post partum depression and insecure attachments grew drastically and I now have a focused area of therapy that deals with attachment and bonding. Attachment is a neurobiological factor of human beings that psychology and science believe influence every aspect of our past, present and future relationships. It is clear that early attachment impacts our future children and their relationships, thus making this work poignantly important.

Having said this, my work has no limits and can support anyone going through crisis or mental health concerns.
