Practice of the Practitioner: A guide to Hands-on Bodywork from a Craniosacral perspective
In-person workshop in Berlin in early Spring is coming soon and filling up. Looking forward to sharing my practice that is a hybrid of expanded consciousness and Craniosacral stillness phenomena. Please go to the link to read up on details.
Join us for a touch-based introductory workshop designed to deepen your understanding of touch-based practices and enhance your skills in bodywork. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or at the beginning of developing your practice, this workshop offers invaluable techniques to support both professional and personal healing practices.
This course combines lectures with hands-on practice, making it ideal for craniosacral practitioners, yoga and dance instructors, Pilates and ELDOA teachers, massage or physiotherapists, other touch-based practices, nurses, and anyone interested in self-regulation and healing. The workshop is taught in English with simple German translation as needed.

Danscentrum Syd, Malmö
With pleasure, returning to Malmö’s Danscentrum Syd to offer a 2-day workshop in Dynamic Expansion: the fine exploratory work to resource the Fluid Body and it’s connection to the Craniosacral System and source of movement research.
March 18-19, 2025, 11:00-14:00
Danscentrum Stockholm
Wonderful to connect with the Stockholm dance artists who I’ve been sharing my work with for several years in this Morning class in May.
May 6th - May 9th, 2025 (Tue-Fri) morning classes at SKH 9:15-10:45.
Tictac Art Centre, Brussels
After a truly wonderful October 2024 workshop and performance at this thriving hub I am happily returning to Tictac Art Centre in Brussels June to offer my practices Moveable Cinema/Dynamic Expansion in a morning workshop
June 30-July 4, 2025, 9:00-13:00
Also hopeful for those who wish to stay all day and participate in the afternoon workshop led by the enigmatic and bright Benoît Lachambre. He and I have known one another for 30+ years. We spent a lot of time curiously pursuing the sensorial experience and descriptives for “the energetic body” and worked together on an “untitled solo” which was in fact a duet of his creation in 2007 in Berlin.
BERLIN TEACHING
Dynamic Expansion Moveable Cinema Weekly Classes
Closing a Chapter: My Final Classes at Tanzfabrik April 9, 2025
After 15 wonderful years my weekly classes at Tanzfabrik are coming to a close. I am looking very much forward to shifting from a weekly class model to workshops.
In 2008 I was granted a professional development grant from the Canada Council for the Arts, to create a teaching practice melding my experience in Contemporary dance and craniosacral body work. I named it Dynamic Expansion/ Moveable Cinema and began teaching out of my Berlin apartment. I invited Gisela Müller to join and from then she invited me to build a weekly class at the Tanzfabrik starting in January 2010.
With this opportunity, I developed my work through experimentation, through the culmination of my pedagogical experience, through connection and feedback with those who participated.
These weekly classes have been an incredible space for development and growth. I have connected with hundreds upon hundreds of curious movers. My classes have been the garden of my teaching. And, from this “garden” grew each of my choreographic works since 2009.
I am deeply grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey.
Classes will continue until April 9, 2025. If you have been meaning to join or return, now is the time. Let’s move together and connect for these final sessions.
For updates and details, stay tuned or reach out for more information.

CRANIOSACRAL
Private sessions in Craniosacral Dynamic Expansion
Craniosacral Dynamic Expansion private sessions
I am continuing to enjoy and share my new and stunningly beautiful accessible practice space in Schlesischstr. 20 Fabrikgebäude, Kreuzberg.
Practice:
Craniosacral/Expanded Consciousness sessions have many benefits for wellness including: deeply easing stress, deep rest for the nervous system, increased vitality, unwinding of unwanted habits, and increased general well-being. Craniosacral also has many benefits for Health (active definition of health: as "not a state but a search for equilibrium") including; improving eyesight/vision, reduced acute pain, rehabilitation in the neural field, learning disabilities, gross and fine motor problems, developmental delays, headaches, tinnitus, TMJ syndrome, stress disorders, trauma and neurological conditions.
Craniosacral Dynamic Expansion is a hybrid practice which I developed incorporating 25+ years of Craniosacral practices together with expanded consciousness, movement awareness and co-creative work with Nature. I work co-creatively with each client given one's individuality and needs. Please note that some themes and issues could find resolution in one session, some in three to four sessions and others over time.
Long-Distance Practice
I also practice long-distance sessions, done over audio calls, or video calls. I have received very positive feedback over the last decade, and one of the beautiful benefits of these sessions is I am able to offer continuity for my international clients or for those in Germany who do not reside in Berlin or with those that prefer to be in their private space for this one-to-one work. Please be in touch if this mode of working interests you.
I continue to develop and exchange this work with my regular clients who inspire me constantly, and I am open to welcoming new clients as my schedule permits.
