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 bio-dynamic 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.
