✨ Reflecting on 2025 ✨

As the year continues, I want to share another meaningful milestone: I recently completed my Schema Therapy certification for Art Therapies 🤍

Schema Therapy is a therapeutic approach that helps uncover and work with deep-rooted patterns in our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Integrating this with art therapies allows clients to explore and express these patterns in creative, embodied ways — using movement, visual arts, and symbolic expression to access what words alone cannot always reach.

This training has been incredibly enriching, deepening my understanding of how early life experiences shape the body, mind, and emotional life — and offering new ways to support clients in healing, self-awareness, and personal growth.

While I’m already applying these insights in my practice, this certification opens new pathways for integrating schema-informed art and movement therapies more fully in the future.

I also want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all my clients, to friends, and my partner — thank you for trusting my support, for sharing your journeys, and for helping nurture my practice as a dance movement therapist 🤍

✨ Stay tuned — I can’t wait to share more ways this learning will inform my work with clients in 2026.

Thank you for being part of this journey of embodied exploration, reflection, and growth. Here’s to a year of curiosity, healing, and creative expression ✨

✨ Happy New Year ✨

As we step into a new year, I want to reflect on 2025 with gratitude.
One meaningful milestone from this past year was completing my Doula certification 🤍

A Doula is a trained professional who offers emotional, physical, and informational support during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period — providing continuous presence, comfort measures, advocacy, and care throughout the birth experience.

My interest in this work grew through my therapy practice, particularly by listening to women share their birth stories — stories that revealed how deeply birth is held in the body and how vital it is to feel supported and witnessed during such a profound life transition.

While Doula support is not part of my services at the moment, it will be thoughtfully integrated into my professional offerings in the future.

I also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the couples who allowed me to assist and witness their birth moments, and who trusted me with their vulnerability and my support during such a powerful time 🤍

✨ Stay tuned — I’ll soon be sharing another certification I achieved this year.

Thank you to everyone who shared space with me through movement, reflection, and embodied work in 2025.
Here’s to a new year of growth, intention, and continued connection ✨

Ever had one small thought bring a flood of emotions to the surface? Like a still pond suddenly disturbed, feelings that were resting quietly begin to stir.

And that’s okay.

Instead of pushing them down, try noticing them.

Instead of fighting them, try breathing through them.

Take a moment now:

1. Inhale deeply through your nose.

2. Hold for a few seconds.

3. Exhale slowly, letting the feelings settle like ripples fading on water.

You don’t have to fix everything at once. Sometimes, just feeling is enough.

“Stillness is the ground of being from which all else emerges.
It is within and behind every breath, every thought, every action.
It is my starting point, my resting place, the home base to which I can return again and again.

In stillness I notice how time and space disappear.
All there is is the present moment and my willingness to listen...to allow the stillness to speak

The stillness takes me into the realm of conscious awareness that transcends my identity as body or mind. Stillness offers an experience of being and a recognition that my being...my essence...is a part of all Being, all Essence”

Trust

Every close relationship has problems, difficulties or misunderstandings, and the relationship between the therapist and patient is no exception. However, the manner in which the therapist and patient handle these difficulties together is another crucial component of the success of the relationship. When difficulties arise, can the therapist and patient share any negative feelings, hurt or anger that may have resulted? And, can they work together to resolve any problems that may occur in their work together?

We can learn practicing trust starting from the 4 C

* Commitment = Following through consistently
* Caring = Showing the other person matters
* Consistency = Reacting in a somewhat predictable way
* Competence = Demonstrating ability to meet commitment

Is empowering?

Yes 🙌

The body in motion and stillness carries meaning and tells us a story.

Accessing creativity in therapy through dance is an encounter with our inner world in conjunction with the influences we get from the environment surrounding us.
