Slowly considering bringing this account back from the dead ☠️ I'll do my best not to make it entirely about motherhood 😉 my focus is going to be authenticity and education. Let's see what happens! 💜

I've found myself DANCING again...
And oh what a joy.
Not only to express and move and have fun.
But to NOTICE MY INNER MONOLOGUE when I'm dancing.
To recognize these parts that flare up and say...
"It's not safe to be seen"
"What if they judge you"
"I'm not getting it right!"
"Wow my body has changed"
"I'm really good at this"
"I wish I were better at this"
And on,
And on,
And on...
And noticing that I don't have to ATTACH to these thoughts, or let them lead the way.
I can notice them.
Be with them.
Say to myself - "of course darling" - and gently hold the hand of my inner parts that feel the need to protect me.
And then let them go.
And BE IN THE DANCE.
Letting the therapeutic effects take place.
Connecting to my body,
Being kind to my mind,
And letting my soul reorganize parts that no longer serve.
No, Dance/Movement Therapy is not always about dance.
But dance is what got me into this field, and it will forever hold a place of healing, introspection, and growth for me.
Do you use dance to heal? #dancemovementtherapy #therapyyyc #movement #embodiment

One of the biggest challenges in getting back to work after a short maternity leave has been making sure I leave MY content behind when I show up for my clients. And for that, regular self-care is a MUST!
How do you take care of yourself so you can be there for your clients?

And just like that - I'm back!
Very limited session availability for now, but I'll be picking back up slowly and surely over the coming seasons!
Happy to be back doing the work I adore! 💜💃

📢PRACTICE UPDATE!
.
I know I have left this social media page dormant for the better half of this year, as I've been busy being present with my clients and growing my work - AND my body/another body!! 🤰
.
For those who haven't been made aware yet, I will be taking a short-term maternity leave from my practice from mid-November 2024 until sometime mid-spring 2025. I will be focusing in on my own new movement adventure, the adventure of parenting! 🤱
.
Of course - I am still using movement as SUCH a support for my pregnancy, it is such a wonderful tool and is truly what has been keeping me feeling healthy and able as I approach this big transition. 💪
.
I have no guarantees about my presence on this social media page, but I figured it felt important to get the word out incase any new inquiries come through! 🫣
.
Link in bio for all my info / if you are interested in being contacted on a waitlist when I return to my practice.
.
Many thanks, blessings, and gratitude as I enter this new chapter! 🥳💃
If you're a current client of mine, you've had this info for a while! But I thought I should let everyone know that you can now make your booking with me DIRECTLY online - if you're a current client or new, you can book a 60 minute, 90 minute, parent meeting, or a first time 20 minute meet and greet. 😎
Link in bio to book! 🔗
It was such a pleasure to chat live with Marie-Claire @themovingself.therapy to discuss movement practices in clinical counselling.
Marie-Claire and I met through dance/movement therapy training here in BC and it was such a privilege to collaborate and share about how movement impacts and integrates into our work as clinical counsellors.
In this replay, you’ll hear about:
▫️How movement and talk therapies work together
▫️What it means when we say “movement” is used in session
▫️ Specific examples of dance/movement therapy practices
Thank you all for watching.
