New headshot, new chapter.๐ค
In January, I stepped into practice as a newly qualified Dance Movement Psychotherapist itโs been the most fulfilling and transformative chapter of my life so far.
The reason I decided to become a DMP is because of my own journey with my body after years of pushing it beyond its limits and facing the challenges of Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), I wanted to find a way to move with care, compassion, and healing.
During my undergrad, a deeply distressing loss triggered my diagnosis of FND. I experienced involuntary movements, spasms, difficulty walking, chronic fatigue, and memory fog. After always having so much control over my body, it was overwhelming to completely lose it. For a long time, I didnโt understand the vital body-mind connection.
Taking a year out to rest, heal, and reflect was the best decision I could have made. It gave me the space to reconnect with my body and rediscover what movement truly means slowing down, listening, and meeting myself with kindness.
Movement has become my path to healing, and Iโm honored to support others on their own journeys. To all artists and creatives living with FND there is hope.
