"Your dance through this life bears a purpose. To offer the world your truly unique gifts."


Dance Therapy uses dance, movement, play, and body-oriented inquiry to inspire the body, mind, and spirit for a greater sense of wholeness, harmony, and freedom. Dance Therapy has helped clients find joy and self-acceptance, increase energy and vitality, strengthen self-esteem, enhance body image, instill a sense of trust in oneself and in the world, explore relationship patterns, heal symptoms of post traumatic stress, and reconnect with their natural spontaneity, to name a few. Dance Therapy engages the creative source inherent in all of us and so each session becomes a magical unfolding of co-creation. An environment of safety, trust, and space for free self-expression will be the focus of our work together.

Come explore, come express, come play! Come join in, in the dynamic dance of life, and connect in this unique and very human fashion!

"Dance Therapy sessions helped me to begin to unlock the shackles which had imprisoned my spirit. Ricki gently and patiently challenged me to challenge myself with new perceptions of both who I was, and how I fit into the world. Ricki's very essence exudes an energy filled with creativity, joy, and understanding. I always felt safe and very welcomed. Dance Therapy became for me a safe haven for free-spirited expression which allowed me to mentally and emotionally take a very deep cleansing breath. With Ricki's help, I was able to explore and celebrate the beauty of my own soul."

- Tanya C., business owner
