Embodied Wellness and Self-Care Workshops
I offer a variety of creative arts and movement based experiences customized to your group’s needs. The workshops listed below are just examples of previous offerings. I love collaborating to make accessible, inclusive events that leave a lasting impact.

Embodied Self-Care
This workshop facilitates a creative exploration of self-care skills in a group setting. The theme and content can be customized to any population and your organization’s needs. This experience is perfect for company retreats, staff appreciation days, or conference wellness breaks/seminars. Participants will leave with a suite of personalized self-care tools and strategies to enhance personal and interpersonal effectiveness.

Caring for Caregivers
In collaboration with Lucky Cat Consulting, this introductory style workshop provides embodied education on trauma, the nervous system, and the stress cycle that is accessible and inclusive. Those who regularly or professionally support other humans are at risk for moral injury, empathy fatigue, and burn-out. In this workshop you’ll engage critical thinking and discussion as well as discover resources for embodied self-care.

Loco-Motion
This fun and engaging workshop is tailored for kids age 10-14 who may be going through tough times like changing schools, bullying, divorce, or other sources of childhood stress. We’ll focus on healthy emotional expression and supportive socialization skills using movement, theatre games and collaborative art. This class can be offered as an in-school event, extra-curricular group, or as a special workshop for youth organizations.

The Monster Within
Based on Dennis McCarthy’s psychodynamic work with children, this workshop can be modified for any age range and setting but has been particularly popular with teens. We’ll use play and imagination to embody healthy aggression and relationship dynamics using clay monsters that reveal our common fears and humanity.

Fluid Leadership
Many modern workplaces are looking for dynamic innovators who are flexible, intuitive, and can play many roles within the company. This workshop is based on the work of masters of modern dance who have adapted principles of fluid leadership into movement based exercises exploring teamwork, trust, and ego in a supported environment. -
Neurospicy
This brain-and-body based workshop is designed to celebrate neurodiversity in all its forms. Build confidence and self-esteem, practice social skills, explore personal sensory and communication preferences, and learn somatic skills to navigate every life. Suitable for neurospicy adults, teens, and tweens or family/caregivers supporting the neurosparkly person in their life.
