Your Session
Your session begins on land with a rapport building
tea ceremony. We begin to get a little into your world and settle into some of your intentions for our time together.
​
From there we go into the water. You are invited into total passivity and surrender. There is nothing left for you to do from here.
I facilitate your journey and experience with the water, offering a series of movements that, from the outside, might look like a dance. Your bodies sub-conscious embodied feedback, acts like our guide, providing me with endless information to help bring you towards deeper and deeper states of relaxation.
​
My state is one of meditative, unconditional positive regard. The warmth and support of the water combined with the profoundly sensational movements your body will experience brings you into a timeless state of healing.
​
​Our session may include submersions and/or the use of fabrics in some cases. These options are discussed in advance of our session. Our time in the water lasts for 1 to 1.5 hrs. Nearing the end of water time, we will begin to transition with more grounding forms of bodywork and eventually a return to self and the ground at the side of the pool
for landing and supported integration time. This may look like quiet presence, or you may wish to process elements of you session with your practitioner.
​
We exit the pool, you have a shower and we take one last sip of tea and our session is complete.

What is Healing Dance?
Healing Dance is an holistic, aquatic technique developed by Alexander George in 1993.
The guiding philosophy of the work is that movement is the "medicine" and in the experience of "received dance" the healing process in the body is activated.
Receivers experience the sensation of lightness and weightlessness. Giver establishes and accentuates the natural rhythmic field of the session, helping find the various "rhythms of awareness" for clients.
Physical and emotional blockages are resolved in the polarity between freedom and security.
Advanced body mechanics are taught to create movements of greater subtlety and sensitivity.
​
The receiver will be welcomed and mirrored should they find their own movement in the session.
