“Follow your bliss”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

This well-known phrase of Joseph Campbell has guided my path, even before I learned about this quote and that bliss is:<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
that deep sense of being present,<\/em><\/div>
of doing what you absolutely must do<\/em><\/div>
to be yourself.<\/em><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
What is my bliss? Cultivating the dialogue between somatic movement, dance, depth psychology, mythology and expressive arts to create possibilities for awareness, healing, growth and transformation. Always befriending the soma<\/em>, the living body.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Therapist, dancer, somatic movement specialist, performer, teacher and researcher are some of the words that point to my professional path and my growth as an individual. I have always felt a deep calling to live a life where meaning, creativity and beauty are a constant.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
I attribute most of my pain and suffering to the times when I have shut down, become numb, or tried too hard to maintain appearances and fulfill expectations. Somatic movement and dance lead me to an intimate encounter with myself, where I can explore who I am and reconnect with my calling. The experience of being in dialogue with my body has been one of growth, transformation and healing; an ongoing restoration and re-imagining or my lifes’ narratives through the practice of the expresive arts, mythology and archetypal psychology.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
\u00a0My commitment is to provide people with adequate guidance so that they can live with self-agency, courage, creativity, and responsibility. Through somatic, expressive arts and creative interventions I guide my clients and groups in exploratory inquires, inviting self-reflection and continued learning. I encourage and support individuals in taking a path of self-knowledge, clear interpersonal communication, and determination to embody and live their soul’s calling. I believe that, by traveling this path, we can adventure into the endless mysteries, challenges and opportunities that life offers us.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
