About me
Body-mind connection fascinates me and evokes my curiosity since my youth.
In the last 17 years, I follow this curiosity and study conventional and non-conventional therapies.
My education started with psychology studies. I was always curious about different therapy modalities and was naturally pulled to experience and explore; I did many additional trainings in things like Family constellation, group processes & psychodrama, Non-violence communication, Bach flowers, Theta Healing.
I studied with Dr. Arnold Holtzman the creator of Psycho-diagnostic Chirology (PDC). Later enrolled in Transpersonal Psychotherapy.
But in 2012 I reached a breaking point, Psychology studies and transpersonal psychotherapy didn’t satisfy my curiosity.
It all felt very mental for me and I missed the body.
Movement and the body were always a big part of my life.
I was gymnastic as a child, a daughter to a Feldenkrize® teacher, and later in my youth Yoga and Partner-Acrobatic came into my life, and naturally, I became a teacher.
Between 2012-2015 I was working as a pedagogic leader, part of my role was to bring movement arts and art into the work with the children.
In 2014 I formed groups for children and their parents for playful movement together, with the intention of strengthening their bond and connection what later became 'Family Playground'.
In 2013 chronic pain I carried since I was 15, erupted and completely changed my life.
I tried literally EVERYTHING to “fix it” but nothing lasted more than a few days.
Then I got an insight, My body doesn’t need to be fixed - it needs to Re-learn something.
It ended up being a life-changing process for me.
Since 2014, I offer bodywork therapy in my practice, the first certification as a Rebalancing therapist (Structural integration), and later, MER (Myofascial Energetic Release).
Since 2016 I'm a student for Somatic Developmental Psychology,
at the Bodynamic International.
EABP member. (the European association for body psychotherapy).
I love to learn, in the somatic field I'm always also a student.
Continue to learn and develop in all the new discoveries and research that is available for us today.
Some of what I've been up to until now -
Clinical Applications of the Polyvagal Theory - training with Stephen W. Porges, Ph.D.
Myofascial professional seminars with Tom Mayers.
Developmental trauma training with Ditte Marcher
Attachment, bonding and connectedness with Ditte Marcher
Seminar with Dr. Gabor Mate
I believe pain, like many other physical & emotional reactions, is a symptom, a sign, a call, a messenger, a way of the body to ask for our attention.
But it was only a belief until it happened in my body.
I believe our bodies speak to us,
they are storytellers,
they hold the memories of what we have forgotten.
they hold what we were afraid to express.
-
In our posture,
-
In the way we hold ourselves,
-
In the way, we integrate stress,
-
In our sensory integration,
-
and also in our pains.
Looking forward to meet you,
Dana
