The "Why"
My name is Rebecca Demi, and I’m the Founder of Movement Meets Therapy. As a Board-Certified Dance/Movement Therapist and Licensed Creative Arts Psychotherapist, I help working and moving individuals reconnect with themselves through intentional, embodied practices that promote emotional clarity, resilience, and nervous system regulation.
​
I started Movement Meets You LLC after witnessing how often in traditional therapy we continue to live in our heads when we're trying to succeed — totally disconnected from the body that carries us through every moment. Like many of my clients, I once wore the badge of “busy professional” with pride — until I felt the burnout it was taking on my body, mind, and spirit.
​
My journey into dance/movement therapy began with a simple truth as a trained dancer and psychology student: the body never lies. Movement therapy became the language I used to uncover buried emotions, reclaim my intuition, and find joy again. Through my own healing, I felt called to create a space where others could do the same— on their terms, in their rhythm.
Vision & Mission
At Movement Meets Therapy, my mission is to offer an emotionally liberating and non-pathological dance/movement therapy experience designed to stretch the window of tolerance, integrate somatic healing, and restore intuitive flow.
​
My vision is a world where movement becomes medicine—a regular part of self-care, not a last resort. Every offering is designed to meet you where you are, supporting your journey with compassion, creativity, and clinical care.
Core Values
1. Movement as Medicine: Movement is used as a therapeutic tool to process emotions, regulate the nervous system, and support holistic healing.
​
2. Longevity through Embodiment: Sustainable wellness is cultivated through consistent, embodied practices that honor the body’s intelligence across all life stages.
3. Rhythmic, Intuitive Living: Clients are guided to live in alignment with their natural rhythms and inner knowing, fostering harmony between body, mind, and emotion.
4. Internal Locus of Control:The practice empowers individuals to access their inner resources and respond to life from a place of grounded self-agency.
​
5. Quantum Awareness & Emotional Intention: Clients are supported in cultivating subtle awareness and using intention to create meaningful shifts in their emotional and energetic states.
