Yeah!  I looked out the window this morning and the buds are out on the trees that line my street!  Although spring does not technically begin until the 20th, I can feel that winter is on it’s way out. So much going on these days, it’s been challenging to keep up with the day to [...]

OK – I’ve been in this business of movement for a lifetime, but the message really hit home last week as I SAT for over 40 hours in my Somatic Experience Training.  Shocking to say the least. At first I thought it would be great to sit and rest for a few days since my [...]

Two years ago I completely shifted my life.  Closed the studio, left a realtionship and went off to India.  Seemed at the time like a lot of drama [...]
