Dance & Movement
Counselling

Dance counselling holds a unique and transformative potential because it connects mind, body, and spirit in a holistic way.

It’s a method that directly engages with how we experience and process our emotions through the body, recognizing that our bodies hold both our past and present stories.

“I work with people who want to explore healing through movement and embodiment, especially those engaged in activism, social justice, or who feel disconnected from their bodies. All identities and experiences are welcome here.”

Who is dance counselling for?

“Your body holds your story, and together we’ll listen to it.

Sometimes, we simply talk.
We get to know each other, and you share what you’d like to explore or understand more deeply.

Other times, something may emerge naturally through your body.

I might give you some suggestions that can help you tune into your body.

Sometimes we don’t move at all.
The focus is always on listening to your body and your needs, with no pressure or expectations.

How does a session look like?

We end with grounding practices or reflection, and you can share how the session felt for you.

We pay close attention to what your body and emotions are telling you, often blending talk with somatic awareness.

If words fail, we use movement, fabric, or drawing to express what systemic oppression often silences.

There is no "right" way to move. Stimming, shifting, or sitting in silence are all valid forms of participation.

Many people find that movement helps them access feelings that are hard to put into words. It’s a way to reconnect with yourself, build self-trust, and find new ways to cope and heal.

You don’t need to “dance” a certain way or have any experience. This is about your unique movement and story. There is no right or wrong way to move

Anti-Opression Framework

• The Political Body: In this space, we acknowledge that "The personal is political". Your body is not a separate entity from the world; it is a living archive of culture, power, and history. To be connected to your body is a radical act of reclaiming what society—through systems like capitalism and colonialism—has taken from you: the right to feel, rest, and exist fully.

• Healing Justice, Not Pathologization: My approach is tied to my understanding of healing justice. I reject the idea of "fixing" people, as that concept is rooted in systems that pathologize difference. Healing is not about erasing pain, but about learning to be in relationship with it while walking alongside someone who meets you with compassion and courage.

• Active Witnessing: I am not a counselor who just sits silently and nods. I believe that everything intersects, and I am committed to constantly unlearning and acknowledging how systemic power (intersectionality) is present in our session.

Together we show our middle finger to the oppressive systems!
