Speaking

I am passionate about sharing and collaborating with others around ways to integrate of body based philosophies with mental health, feeding practices, education and daily life.  Each speaking event is customized to your specific goals and needs, and offers opportunities for movement, play, and small group exploration to bring concepts to life. I have presented for 21 years on global to local forums. Below is a sample of some of my previous speaking engagements.
