We offer the following consultation services.
Individual one-on-one consultations can assist you in planning your personal self-care strategy using evidence-based behavioral approaches.
Group classes provide an important additional element of interpersonal, small group support.
Mindfulness, meditation and gentle yoga (using an inclusive, secular, spiritual, non-religious perspective), individual or group format
- Meditative, mindful yoga is possible for everyone, regardless of physical limitations. Stretching and postures can be done on the floor or in a chair
- We use simple, present moment awareness of the breath, walking, eating, body sensations, thoughts, emotions and communication (listening and speaking)
- The stillness, peacefulness and healing of silence is honored and embraced
Dance (emphasizing Argentine tango and waltz)
- Argentine tango is intimate, meditative and mindful – an interpersonal social art and an interior intra-personal art. Research is showing its many uses for psychological and physical conditions. Anyone can learn Argentine tango as long as they can walk, hug and pay attention.
- Waltz can be done alone or with a partner. Anyone can waltz, even those who think they have 2 left feet. You can waltz to music you already know and love, exploring joy and other emotions as you learn to waltz through life
- Argentine tango and waltz are not just fun. They can both be deeply healing. Our focus is on awareness of physical sensations, thoughts, emotions and attitudes. This awareness helps in social dancing and in personal healing
