If you are world-weary or looking for a creative approach to healing, you are in the right place. As both a licensed mental health counselor and a licensed creative arts therapist, board certified in dance/movement therapy, I will encourage you to attend not just to your words, but to the messages that come from your body (includes your brain). I will introduce you to LivingDance(tm), to show you how to access and work with elements of dance and movement that relate to emotions, feelings of effectiveness, and identity development. You do not need talent or training to work with them. I founded Kinectionsâ" in 1984 to integrate dance, music, and traditional methods of counseling. While working with people struggling with eating disorders and histories of abuse, I combined mindfulness, kinesthetic sensing, developmental milestones, improvisational dance, and creative processes. The result: LivingDance, an approach to which most people seem to respond. In addition to using the LivingDance approach to work with individuals, couples, and groups, Kinections offers all the dance/movement therapy courses required for certification in dance/movement therapy.

In the heart of every problem lies its solution. We spend enormous amounts of time and energy searching for answers outside ourselves, when the answers lie within. Heartwork is a creative process, which teaches one to find fundamental solutions to both everyday problems and the more difficult life questions, transforming "problems" into doorways to compassion, insight and joy. My award-winning book, "Heartwork: How To Get What You Really, REALLY Want" gives one my orientation and the primary tools for working through one's issues. The e-book version can be downloaded at my website: www.awakentheheart.org. View 15 Photos I enjoy working with individuals whose lives are not satisfying in some way. I also facilitate Inner Work Groups and Retreats, and do a great deal of work with people with relationship issues. To get a feel for how I work with relationships, you can read the two articles at https://awakentheheart.org/relationships-2/ on my website. We all want to be happy, but we look outside ourselves for the key to happiness, when happiness is always available if we just "stop, look, and listen!" to what is always here. Heartwork gives individuals tools to work through any issue that may arise which separates one from one's inherent wholeness and connection with others and the Universe/God.
