Dance Movement Therapy
A slow process for deeper healing.
Meet your whole self, at your own pace.
60-minute Dance Movement Therapy sessions in a quiet studio in Paris. A space to reconnect to your body, express, and integrate your lived experiences.
Reserve nowWhen we meet our difficult experiences with care and tenderness, or with rawness and surrender, we come back to ourselves.
Approach
Dance Movement Therapy is a guided space to feel, express, and integrate emotions.
Somatic
We begin with body awareness: sensing, breathing, moving, and listening to what is present. Somatic awareness offers another way of knowing ourselves, one that can unfold beyond words and through sensation, movement, and pleasure.
Relational
Healing happens in relationship. You are accompanied in this therapeutic space where your experience can be expressed, explored, and met with curiosity and compassion. Through movement, words, writing, and conversation, we create new possibilities for relating to yourself and others.
Agency-centered
We explore your capacity to sense, choose, express, and act. Dance creates a space to experience agency in the body, to discover that you can move, change direction, take space, set boundaries, connect, and create.
Contextual &
Historical
We are shaped by the worlds we belong to. Personal experiences are connected to family histories, culture, society, and our environment. When relevant, we make space for collective and transgenerational experiences of trauma, displacement, oppression, or loss, without reducing your story to them.
Slow
Sessions are 60 minutes, held in a partnered studio in Paris. It can take place weekly, or bi-weekly, according to your needs and rhythm.
What happens in a session
You do not need any formal dance training. We cultivate your body's own natural expression.
Arrive
A gentle grounding practice to help you land in the present moment and tune into your body.
Explore
Space to speak about what is present for you, your needs, and your expectations. From there, we move into guided exercises, improvisation, or simply noticing what your body is communicating.
Integrate
We close through words, drawing, or writing, reflecting on what emerged so you can carry that wisdom beyond the session.

Questions
Do I need any dance or movement experience?
No. These sessions are open to all bodies, whether you have danced for years or never at all. We follow what is present, at your pace.
What should I wear to a session?
Wear comfortable clothes you can move in easily. You may be invited to work without shoes.
What if I have physical limitations, chronic pain, or injuries?
We adapt the work to your body. Share any limitations, pain, or injuries beforehand so we can move with care and find what is possible for you.
Where do sessions take place, and are the studios accessible?
Sessions take place in a studio in the 11th arrondissement in Paris. Please get in touch with any accessibility needs so we can find a suitable arrangement.
How does a session differ from a traditional talk therapy session?
We work through the body as well as through words, movement, sensation, and dialogue, rather than sitting and speaking only.
