Bloom Body Mind

During my first Somatic Movement session, everything “clicked.” Somatic movement was the link I’d been searching for–an invitation for me to explore, to heal and to recover (or re-discover) parts of me that were hibernating. Almost immediately, my experience of myself changed. Instead of telling myself I had to accept a more limited capacity than I once had, I began to relearn what possibility in my body feels like–what options feel like–what freedom feels like. I felt integrated, aware and awake. 

My physical freedom begot an overall sense of clarity, of surety and of possibility. Really, my renewed understanding of myself illuminated a truth I’d not experienced in far too long: the connection between a free body and a focused mind. Thus the creation of Bloom Body Mind–wherein I trust the accumulation of my own experience and encourage others to do the same.

See, when I transitioned from being a professional dancer to a middle school learning specialist, I shut one door to explore another. Though intuitively, I incorporated movement into my work with children in the classroom, I did so quietly.  Now, with my experience and training in Somatic Movement Education, my resolve is absolute. In order to be focused on the work of school or the work of the day, we must be rooted in a free body.

What I know to be true is that none of us inhabits our body in exactly the same way. None of us thinks in exactly the same way. There is such richness and wisdom in the individual’s process. My work guides the individual to experience and to value their own process, to learn from experiencing, to develop effective and efficient patterns in order to thrive.
