The Dance Integrated Healing Method
The Dance Integrated Healing method is an evidence-based approach that combines neuroscience, psychology, and the positive effects of dance on the brain, body, and mind. Its flexible, gentle guided improvisation design makes it accessible for everyone, including those with limited mobility.

Additionally, it integrates related practices like somatics, breathwork, and dynamic meditation, fostering creativity, expression, cognition, healing, and transcendence.
Modern and Ancient Wisdom
By blending modern science and ancient wisdom, the Dance Integrated Healing method aims to create an integrated self, addressing physical and mental imbalances.
