I am a Teacher, humbled and inspired by my students’ transformation. I draw from a life-long career in movement and healing arts. Freedom from self-limiting habits is my goal for you.
About me
About meI am a Teacher, humbled and inspired by my students’ transformation.
Whether teaching alone or with my partner, Russell, we draw from life-long careers in the movement and healing arts.
Our hearts are blessed to witness your freedom from self-limiting habits and achieve results beyond your expectations.
My Philosophy of CareMeeting iconic dancer Anna Halprin in 1975 inspired me for 45 years as her student.
I was a wounded dancer seeking a life on my legs. Sciatica stopped me in my tracks. I needed to heal.
During doctoral research in body transformation, I interviewed 25 people who overcame disease, disfigurement, paralysis, obesity, starvation, and/or created bodies for world class competition. Learning their secret – how to grow into your desired image – became my life’s work and the basis of my teaching to students of all ages.
What You Can Expect On Your First VisitEnlightening. Eye opening. Inspired. Relieved. Their hope renewed.
My InspirationIf you are committed to personal transformation, I can share best practices gleaned from over a half century of practice. You can transform your body step by step through Dynamic Walking, the fruit of three decades of my research and teaching. Your walk is your dance through life. Embody it.
