About
Free Spirit Healing Arts is devoted to providing a serene and energizing environment
in which individuals may seek deep experiences of transformation and personal growth.
Explore your connections with your essential self through contemplative movement,
hands-on work, and earth-focused, body-centered, spiritual guidance. It is my greatest
joy to accompany you as you awaken your heart's creative energy and explore joyous
transformation of body, mind and spirit. In addition to private and group sessions,
I often invite associated practitioners for guest classes and sessions in my space.

Body-Mind Centering® (BMC℠):
Body-Mind Centering is an integrated approach to transformative experience through
movement re-education and hands-on repatterning developed by Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen.
BMC practitioners begin where you are and utilize movement, touch, voice, and creative
tools to support you to become more embodied; to learn how your mind is expressed
through your body and your body through your mind.
