"I passionately share this work, offer resources, options and support where I can. I came to this work, research and practice(s) out of necessity, pain and discomfort. As the decades pass I observe how awareness, choices and information have changed my life deeply, allowed me to be medication free (for years) for the first time in my life, allowed me to enjoy a better quality of experience physically, mentally and spiritually, as well as enabling me to participate in activities I thought i would not enjoy again."

My experience in the world of movement education and kinesiology? As a Registered Somatic Movement Therapist/Educator(RSMT) Certified Pilates/Yoga Practitioner, Dynamic Embodiment Practitioner(DEP ) and Moving for Life Instructor(MFLI) my current positions as adjunct professor at Princeton University teaching Somatic Conditioning for Dance, adjunct professor at Georgian Court University teaching Anatomy/Kinesiology, Wellness for Dancers and Dance History and faculty member of the Center for Kinesthetic Education continue to inform me regarding cutting edge modalities, information, ideas and somatic practices. I am also honored to be a former practitioner at the New York Athletic Club, Movements Afoot and Pivotal Physical Therapy in New York City.

After working in the classical dance world as a choreographer/dancer for many years where I studied Pilates and yoga, among other body/mind/spirit practices including Qi Gung and Kung Fu, I was priviledged to receive a scholarship to study Somatic Movement Therapy research and training through Dr. Martha Eddy's Dynamic Embodiment© Somatic Movement Therapy Training (DE-SMTT). This rich research focuses on the study of the works of Rudolf Laban and BodyMind Centering's Bonnie Bainbridge-Cohen among other somatic modalities including Hanna, Feldenkrais and Traeger. I then worked in locations throughout NYC including the New York Athletic Club, Movement's Afoot and Pivotal Physical Therapy, continues to serve as faculty at The Center for Kinesthetic Education, and has taught for 10+ years at the JCC Manhattan, St. Lukes Roosevelt Hospital, 92nd Street Y and Gilda's Club and Hope Lodge. I continue my research to acquire the most up to date information regarding pain management, neuromuscular reprogramming, movement research/analysis, yoga, meditation and Pilates, BodyMind Centering, Feldenkrais, Qi Gong.
