A Multimodal Approach: Dance, Movement, and Art Therapy

Rebecca will educate you and your child that the body holds stories, fears, and attachments that words alone cannot express. Through the combined use of movement, art-making, play, and sound, she creates an environment where clients can:

• Increase attention and focus on tasks and activities.

• Build body awareness and an understanding of the physical self in relation to others.

• Foster social interaction and relatedness in a safe and supportive setting.

• Engage with peers and adults to develop meaningful connections.

• Promote non-verbal and verbal creative expression as a tool for emotional release and clarity.

• Expand movement and artistic repertoires to unlock new dimensions of personal growth.

• Cultivate self-confidence through embodied practices and creative exploration.

The Neuroscience Connection

Rebecca’s approach leverages the latest findings in neuroscience to emphasize the brain’s ability to rewire through creative and somatic practices. By engaging the mind-body connection, her therapy sessions empower clients to:

• Access deeper layers of emotional processing.

• Heal from trauma through cyclical, rhythmic, and creative expression.

• Redesign habitual patterns with intentional movement and art.
