Hello! I’m rose.

I’m happy you are here, exploring a body-based approach as a possible resource in your life.

I am a long-time artist-dancer-performer and a trained somatic educator. I do this work because my body saved my life. As someone with early childhood trauma, I’ve been on a lifelong journey to heal and thrive, and each piece of my inquiry and exploration has contributed to a long love story of reconnecting with my body - its wisdom, its senses, its healing and creative capacities. Each method and skill I have learned (and learned to offer others) opened another door to a part of myself wanting to be expressed.

The somatic and creative work I do with clients, both adults and children, are meant to help you back yourself up, reconnect with your body, and become free to be who you truly are -- nothing less.

Body based therapy has been the most effective map towards learning to love and accept myself that I have found. These approaches have catapulted my own capacity to heal myself and feel more integrated, grounded and alive than I have ever felt. And it is this unknown world I want for you too.

What I bring…

I’m a Registered Somatic movement Therapist and Educator.

I draw from my dedicated study of healing modalities using Somasoul®, Innerbonding®, Hand in Hand Parenting ® , Shake Your Soul ® and peer counseling to support my clients to stand in their truth and aliveness. 

I’m attuned to the heart of the child.

We each have a unique essence longing to be free. This is the child in us , the essence we were born with. This essence, when supported, can be a powerful guide. I am committed to helping each person I work with align with a sensory experience of their child essence. 

I’m a dance, theater & visual artist.

From my early days as a dance theater and dance therapy major to my training and practice of theatrical clowning , performance art , dance improvisation , singing and painting , artistic expression has saved and sustained me. 

I founded dance company , Zany Angels with my collaborator Rythea Lee. For fourteen years we brought productions locally and nationally often with accompanying classes that invited students into our zany process. I continue to collaborate with Rythea and other gifted artists in NY and Mass. 

I have felt held by something much greater than myself.

I can honestly give thanks for the trials within my addiction and recovery part of my journey. It has taught me and continues to teach me to surrender my will to a higher power. 

I have emersed  myself in the exploration and study of earth based and nature based spiritual practices, ritual and ceremony , and the power of prayer. 

This kind of support is very personal and I accompany my clients to reach for what speaks to their sense of being truly guided and held.

Let’s meet.

If you think Somatic Therapy might be a good next step for you or your child, I would love to explore the possibility together in a no-pressure complimentary call. Get in touch!
