Moving through Life
Embodied Arts Education for Youth
(Ages 3-18)
Exploration Meets Integration
In youth sessions, I work with children 1:1 to develop their movement capacity, make connections in the nervous system and brain, identify and regulate emotions, express what is lacking in language, set and respect boundaries, build resilience, and help the child develop the capacity to self-resource.
Left-Brain/Right-Brain Learning
As an educator, my goal is always to make learning fun, interesting, and choice-driven through play, constraints, and props. Children navigate problem-solving, creativity, and critical thinking through movement and expressive arts as a tool for mirroring life and the lived experience.
What to Expect from Sessions
Developmental Movement
By moving through developmental movement patterns (at every age) we are oxygenating and re-wiring the nervous system and brain. This helps with impulse-control, regulation, and integration.
Somatics
Through somatic practices, children recognize sensations and develop body awareness, release stress, learn to breathe and ground, and develop a sense of presence, trust, and self-confidence.
Expressive Arts
Varied art modalities help children to navigate their emotional range, develop creativity and self-expression, navigate difficult life experiences, and provide a non-verbal outlet.
