Mentoring, for me, seeks the cultivation of a presence and awareness that honors the dynamic fluidity of movement/life force within our bodies, ourselves, with one another, and in the world in which we are embedded. I mentor through engaging you in “a conversation with your body”, bringing a newfound awareness of your unique gifts, setting you on a journey to growing yourself as an embodied explorer.
And, once the pursuit of “answers” and “knowledge” and “how-to’s” is sidelined, and, instead, you dive with me, into a vast, compelling, confronting, empowering inquiry of “what is at the heart” of embodied movement - you will discover the ocean of wisdom within.
The wisdom that is your authentic voice...of what makes a truly trustworthy guide. For only when we find our authentic voice - through orienting and allowing ourselves to be held in the Earth’s embrace, meeting gravity, ground and space, as pre-movement to sensory perception - can we teach/mentor/guide another toward theirs.
As we move through our mentoring together, you will resource your own vision and voice. We will wonder and wander together, as we are shouldered by the wisdom I have gleaned from treasured engagement with 5 Pilates Elders, noted yoga masters and pioneers of somatic movement, Rolf Structural Integration, energy medicine, dynamic breathwork, human movement patterning and transformational bodies of work.
You will touch the intangible, and in this, your unique crafting of a language that invites collaborative, embodied sessions, through principles of practice that enliven and nourish, both practitioner and client. Your sessions will come alive, as you greet the whole person in front of you, as an emerging living process in relationship, rather than just teaching exercises. This is a revolutionary way of teaching.
Through mentoring with me you will unearth your gifts, empower your voice and vision, learn to rest into your whole self, and cultivate ways of meeting the joys and challenges of life.
It's all in there, in you, has been all the time – your authentic voice!
