Body-Centered Counseling and Movement Therapy

We experience life through our bodies and through movement. Most people, however, pay attention only to what they can see, hear, or think—and treat their body as a machine instead of a powerful source of information. Some are so connected to their "neck top computer" that they forget they even have a body ... until it breaks down or until they experience "burn-out".

In her practice Ann combines Body-Centered Counseling and Movement Therapy to create a process-oriented approach that honors each client's unique path. This approach takes "talk therapy" to another dimension by accessing the wisdom of the body. Through a journey into their bodies, clients learn to identify habits, patterns, and parts of themselves that limit their aliveness and cause them to react rather than respond to situations in life. They learn to transform an internal critic into a supportive witness. They learn to feel their feelings, create healthy boundaries, and tell the truth ("the body doesn't lie!").

In other words, clients are able to make healthy choices about how they engage, with an enhanced physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual awareness. They leave sessions feeling more embodied and empowered with a renewed sense of well-being and with new possibilities for taking action.

Ann offers private sessions of 1 to 1 & 1/2 hours in length. She also offers group sessions and workshops created for specific concerns and age groups.
