  • Somatic Movement Practices

    please enquire, classes commencing soon

    In this class we explore the body in ever deepening levels of connection and awareness. Alex weaves her study of Body Mind Centring with the core principles of Dance Therapy and Yoga, to facilitate exploration of core body systems and movement patterns.  Through visualization, touch and movement we sense inward, becoming more embodied and somatically supported.

Testimonials

  • Alex has been providing Dance/Movement Therapy supervision to me for the past year. Alex is a deeply intuitive practitioner, who embodies her own unique framework of dance/movement therapy - one that has developed over many years of experience in various settings and across many movement disciplines. I find that Alex always finds me where I'm at. I always feel noticed, heard and held by her deep presence and embodied attunement with me. Alex's therapeutic offerings are a respectful, negotiated space. She holds ground and is flexible in her approach, as best meets the needs of the moment. This is a highly skilled approach that comes with deep personal immersion in the modality. Alex also blends the skills of educator, explorer and knowledge holder. I leave sessions with her, knowing more about myself both in my body and in a cognitive sense, which feels integrated. I highly recommend Alex's skills as a therapist and supervisor.

  • Alex teaches and facilitates from a strong foundation of integrity, purpose and body empowerment. This encourages me to feel into her words and processes, allowing my body to take over from my mind and move as it desires, whether through dance or movement. Her approach is also thoughtful, informed, respectful and creative - a pretty powerful approach, whatever the objective of the session or workshop.

  • My 8 yr old daughter has been working with Alex for the past 6 months and we both love attending the sessions. Dance therapy with Alex provides an opportunity for my daughter to express herself and channel her energy and love of movement in a supportive and safe environment. Alex is very professional and patient yet fun, she quickly established a lovely rapport with my daughter who is neurodivergent. Prior to commencing, Alex was keen to obtain an understanding of the differences that my daughter experiences for example sensory differences, she is then able to incorporate these into dance and narrative practice, for example addressing big feelings and emotions with music, dance and storytelling . In summary, I would highly recommend Alex
