Since 1991, when I laid aside my professional dance career and returned to the UK, I have been pursuing a path which has led me to work towards the integration of embodied awareness and practice within the Christian tradition. I understand this to be about learning to attune to the body in prayer, reflection and healing. Much of my work focusses on helping people to develop greater body awareness and to explore movement as an expression of the inner life.

In 2007 I became a registered practitioner with the Association of Dance Movement Psychotherapy UK after training at Froebel College, Roehampton. Whilst my training in classical dance focused on technique and visual appearance, the dance movement therapy training emphasised the inner dynamics of movement and how movement qualities and structures can enable us to engage with the inner life of psyche, soul and spirit.

I have worked with a wide range of client groups over the years, most recently with older adults in a care home setting and people with sensory and physical disabilities at a day care centre.
