I have been a certified teacher of Skinner Releasing since 2001, and the On-Going syllabus since 2011, training with Joan Skinner in Seattle, WA.

I also introduce interested folks to facets of Amerta movement, an approach to growing our sensitivity and sense of place in nature and the landscape. I studied Amerta with Suprapto Suryodarmo for five years, in Indonesia and Europe.

I am also a bodyworker. Rest, support, revitalization - yes. And, listening to the body. What wants to be heard, what may be longing to be known? In individual sessions we can go to other layers.

Through all my teaching, coaching, and bodywork is reverence for the sparkling of imagination, art and life.

Influences and training that also inform me: developmental movement, embodied embryology, and the School for Body-Mind Centering©; Material for the Spine exercises; Rolf Movement/Structural Integration©; Kisik Lee’s shot system; Focusing partnership; and many years of research, rehearsal, and performance with radical dance artists. I earned an MFA in Dance from the University of Texas, Austin, and am a Registered (ISMETA) Somatic Movement Therapist and Educator. I currently study craniosacral therapy.
