The Medicine of the Wounded Healer 

Whatever our individual and collective wounds, we all have within us the power to transform them into gifts for our lives, for others and for life. Phoenix medicine is core to Movement Medicine and we dance with this archetype within each of us to bring radical compassion and courage for healing and to share your gifts. It is often by bringing resource and medicine to the places that need tending within that we find the next level of gold of the soul. This profound alchemy work can enable you to assume responsibility for and commitment to living your life in alignment with your deepest purpose..

Discover the goodness of your medicine in a practice grounded in ancient somatic wisdom, Gestalt therapeutic principles and the latest neuroscience. It is so common for us to be burdened by disapproval of ourselves or others on the basis of perceived faults or mistakes. Self criticism, self doubt and resentments are often borne from experiences of overwhelm, experiences of disempowerment. When we bring compassionate company and the courage to be responsible for our own wounds we can access the alchemy of healing that is Movement Medicine and this can be deeply empowering. This practice can offer the grounded resource and illumination for self acceptance and self determination.

Movement Medicine is a dance practice that will reconnect you to the wisdom of living from your heart, will deepen your connection to true self, your creativity and your integrity as well as enliven your relationship with life on all levels. It has roots in indigenous shamanic wisdom as well as the latest neuroscience and therapeutic perspectives.
