Therapeutic movement to help release stored tension, navigate the challenges of chronic pain or trauma, and rediscover a life of grounded emotional health.

Start Your Journey

You might be managing more than more than most people realise.

Carrying emotional weight that you can't seem to shift, or feeling more disconnected from your body and yourself. or perhaps living with ongoing pain and symptoms that are misunderstood, go unnoticed or are even dismissed.

Some days you feel like you are coping, but other days you feel heavy, exhausted, or overwhelmed.

You might be navigating:

Anxiety that wont switch off
Low mood or emotional numbness
Ongong pain and inflammation that makes daily functioning difficult
The impact of past or ongoing trauma that has made you feel overwhelmed or stuck.

This can feel incredibly lonely - especially when so much is happening in your body.

You deserve a space where your physical and emotional experience is seen and heard.

How I help you.

Therapy is an evolving process; and my goal is to accompany you through that process guided by your choices and needs. This might include:

Guided movements (always optional)
Breathing and grounding practices
Attuning and responding to your body and its movements.
Creative processes to explore sensations and feelings

There is no requirement to dance or perform and all sessions are adapted to your comfort level, needs, and physical capabilities.

Dance movement therapy can help you

feel more connected to your body
learn about your feelings and bodily responses and explore new ways of responding
process past experiences that may still affect you
develop new strategies to support and help with stress and pain.

Learn about Dance Movement Therapy

Hi, I’m Carmen.

A woman with curly dark hair, glasses, wearing a gray jacket and blue jeans, standing outdoors on a sandy area with bushes and trees in the background, during sunset.

I am a registered dance movement therapist based on Yuin country on the South Coast of NSW.

I work with individuals who are living with emotional or mental distress, social isolation, chronic pain or illness, or the effects of trauma. I also work with older adults who are experiencing difficulties with movement, social isolation and wellbeing.

I use dance movement therapy - a body-based psychotherapy - to help you explore and process experiences that can’t always be reached with words alone.
