After many years of conscious dance practice in the UK and Europe, I completed Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms™ dance teacher training in 2008, the year I emigrated to Aotearoa. Conscious movement is a wonderful route to embodiment – enjoyable, connected and deeply transformative. As a personal practice, for me it was a way to release the grief and stress of a difficult week working as a doctor, or to process events in my life without the need for words. I taught 5Rhythms for 3 years in Wellington, and led a number of weekend courses, as well as organising workshops for international teachers.

While I no longer teach dance classes, this background informs the way I invite movement in our sessions, as a valuable resource and a fast-track to embodiment.

The fastest way to still the mind is to move the body.
