Out of sheer curiosity, I tried a one-on-one dance therapy session shortly after giving birth to my second son. At that time in my life, I felt tired, exhausted and absorbed by the needs of my small kids. I was in full-on function-mode of being a mom.
During my first dance therapy session, as I started to feel myself again, I was overcome with emotions and started tearing up. I found a way to connect with myself again and could sense and follow my own movement impulses. It was a very freeing experience and I *fell in love* with this form of therapy where I could literally let my body speak.
In 2014 I successfully completed my training as a dance therapist and I am now, more than ever, thrilled to guide and accompany people of all ages on their individual journey of discovering their own body history.
Dance therapy is an integrative psychotherapy which allows the body to speak up and express itself.
Through movement: deeper expression of feelings, ideas, ambitions, desires and relationships can be actualized.
The name shoes-off might remind you of when Moses took his shoes off as God revealed himself in the burning bush.
