Hope & Motion

Hope & Motion

Well-being through somatic, trauma-informed dance, movement & inclusive community.

Aim: group, 1:1 consults, & digital resources.

Your Facilitator: Naomi

I've had an almost lifelong interest in the intersection of dance & well-being informed by my own interests, values & lived experiences of health challenges. 

I've found this to resonate with a variety of community groups, and learned more about improving integrative well-being through interviewing movement facilitators on the topic, in a more formal setting.

My intention is to empower participants to guide their own healing.
