IS THIS EQUIVILANT TO THERAPY?

No, this is not therapy

I recommend therapy wholeheartedly and if I encounter something out of my scope of practice I will absolutely recommend a therapist. Unfortunately therapy can run from $100+ a session which is not always feasible for everyone. I hope to offer a more affordable service that can work in addition to a therapist or on its own depending on your unique individual needs. 

DO YOU TAKE INSURANCE?

I do not take insurance, however I am priced at a rate comparable to that of being partially covered by insurance. 

Group Dance Celebration

WHAT'S UP WITH DANCE AND HOW IS THAT RELATED TO MENTAL HEALTH?

I believe in many holistic methods to aid in mental health recovery. Dance has been a vital part of my own journey and it is something that I now use as a tool in my coaching sessions. Through dance and movement, clients have found a new way to release their emotions and connect with their bodies. I offer a wide range practices and tailor my sessions to each individual, ensuring that they get the most out of their time with me.
