About

Someone in a Gestalt therapy group first told me about this dance, back in 1996. Giving my body that much attention was transformative, and over time it changed how I felt in the rest of my life, not just on the dance floor. I felt seen there, and I felt like I belonged.

I've been teaching since 2008, when I graduated from Gabrielle Roth's 5Rhythms teacher training at the Moving Center School in New York. In 2012 I became a founding member of Open Floor International and have taught it extensively since. I served on the faculty of the Open Floor Teacher Training, and I now supervise movement teachers.

I'm also training as a Gestalt psychotherapist, which seems like a strange route until you notice it's a circle. I'm a UKCP trainee completing an MA at the Gestalt Centre in London, I worked for two years in a hospice setting, and I currently see clients through the Gestalt Centre's Therapy Scheme. I'm not in private practice, and referrals for the Scheme go through the Gestalt Centre.
