I am an artist and bodyworker, eternally interested in how we are composing ourselves in life, art, and culture from the ground of bodily intelligence. I work in the mediums of movement, choreography, teaching, video and poetry.

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 over five years, in Indonesia and Europe.

I am also a bodyworker offering individual sessions, informed by over 20 years in movement arts, massage, Focusing partnership and biodynamic craniosacral therapy. What wants to be heard, what may be longing to be known? In session, we can go to these deeper layers of the body.

Influences include: developmental movement, embodied embryology, and the School for Body-Mind Centering; Material for the Spine; Rolf Movement/Structural Integration; Kisik Lee’s shot system; Focusing; inclusive dance pedagogy; Authentic Movement practice; and many years of research, rehearsal, and performance with radical dance artists. A former Fulbright scholar, I earned an MFA in Dance from the University of Texas, Austin, and am a Registered (ISMETA) Somatic Movement Therapist and Educator.
