As an ex professional dancer, I have experienced the healing powers of dance and I have witnessed the positive effect dance can have on women who have lived experience of physical and psychological trauma. After a career working as a dancer, singer and actress in London's West End, in films, television and theatre in the UK and overseas; I decided to change tempo and obtained my Masters in Dance Movement Psychotherapy from the Psychology Department of The University of Roehampton. I am currently employed by the NHS as an arts psychotherapist specialising in older adults, acute adults and perinatal mental health.
