Dance therapy for individuals and groups
Discipline of Authentic Movement for the connection between embodiment, mindfulness and compassion.

What is essential for me is the conscious relationship between body and soul, emotion and spirit, experience and action in appreciation, respect and openness.

Authentic Movement
Deep trust
mindful handling
conscious embodiment
Authentic Movement is an opportunity for anyone who wants to consciously and intensively engage with inner processes in and through their own body. This particularly includes people from therapeutic, artistic and advisory professions, but also anyone who has a strong interest in self-development and finding meaning.
The Authentic Movement approach deepens and unfolds with increasing experience. An ongoing group together promotes this process.
That is why you will find both individual seminars for beginners to experience and try out as well as ongoing groups for advanced practitioners to practice and deepen their knowledge. The latter are particularly suitable for people who feel a heartfelt commitment to the Discipline of Authentic Movement according to Janet Adler as a spiritual path of practice.
As it is about movement and not agility, there are no physical requirements.
What is Authentic Movement?
Authentic Movement was originally founded in the USA by the dance therapist Mary Whitehouse. Janet Adler, one of her students, continues to expand a current of Authentic Movement into a Western mindfulness and awareness training anchored in the body, which she calls Discipline of Authentic Movement benannt hat.
How is the Discipline of Authentic Movement practiced?
The Discipline of Authentic Movement as a practice path explores the interaction of the individual, community and spiritual practice with an attitude of compassion, tolerance and humility towards life.
You turn your attention inwards, follow the movement impulses that arise and open yourself to not-knowing, accompanied by the presence of a benevolent external witness. In the subsequent exchange, you enter into a conscious and integrating relationship with your experience. Experiences from your own life story, the collective unconscious or energetic phenomena can reveal themselves.
Throughout this process, the relationship and community with others plays a special role. The facilitators or witnesses are attentive, non-judgmental and open and thus form a healing resonance space.
In this way, the Discipline of Authentic Movement builds bridges between:
- Meditation and therapy
- Self-determination and belonging
- Trauma and presence
- Personality and direct experience
- Body, soul, mind and shadow

Authentic Movement
Seminars
Coming from dance, I have been leading seminars, training courses and retreats for more than 30 years, originally particularly in dance therapy. The “Moving Knowledge” of the Laban/Bartenieff Movement Studies and the development of embodied awareness through my learning with Dr. Janet Adler and the accompanying many years of my own practice of the Discipline of Authentic Movement have been formative for me. Guiding people mindfully, clearly and openly into their own aliveness, depth and presence through encounters with others is essential to me. Those responsible for accompanying and supporting change processes also learn ways to create congruent and compassionate cooperation and to use movement in a resource-oriented way. In the meantime, it has become very important to me to focus on the Authentic Movement practice path, the Discipline of Authentic Movement, especially within the framework of the Circle of Four. You will find current dates below.

Psychotherapy
for children and adolescents
Intensive help
in difficult life situations
Solutions
through better understanding and action
Trust
For a trusting cooperation
Kinder- und Jugendlichenpsychotherapie is a concentrated, comprehensive support program for children, adolescents and young adults with profound problems. Sometimes it is not possible to adapt appropriately under stressful conditions and in the event of conflicts in the family, kindergarten or school. Young people then show their excessive demands in their own way with conspicuous behavior, anxiety, aggression or eating disorders, for example, and need specific support.
The first probationary hours of treatment serve to get to know each other and to clarify the goals and duration of psychotherapy. Subsequently, therapeutic contacts can be arranged. They usually take place once a week at a fixed time of 50 minutes each. Regular contact with parents as well as with schools, pediatricians and accompanying institutions is also part of the therapy, especially for children. For the parents, this exchange often means support, relief and advice.
My approach is based on depth psychology-based psychotherapy, one of the recognized guideline methods. In the therapeutic contacts I work playfully, with movement and creatively. With adolescents and young adults, the focus is on conversation and orientation towards shaping the future. I focus on the current problems without losing sight of the causal conditions and personal strengths.
My practice - as a child and adolescent psychotherapist licensed by the KV-Hessen - is located in
Wiesbaden (Dotzheim), Römergasse 16.
Telephone consultation hours for making and arranging appointments and clarifying initial questions:
Monday 11.00 -11.50 a.m.
Thursday: 10.40-11.30 a.m.
The psychotherapeutic consultation to clarify the situation of your child or adolescent and to determine appropriate further steps or a possible need for therapy takes place exclusively by telephone appointment.
As a licensed child and adolescent psychotherapist, I am a member of the Psychotherapeutenkammer Hessen
for adults
In my therapy with adults, I combine body-oriented methods, verbal reflection and dance therapy for direct access and ways of supporting their current issues and life questions.
Dance therapy
Joy of life
Crisis management
Self-determination
Relationship ability
Symptom solution
Life of meaning
Who is this form of therapy suitable for?
Dance therapy is suitable for people of all ages who want to address stressful issues through movement and dance. These can be feelings such as anxiety and depression, but also interpersonal relationships and traumatic experiences stored in the body. The desire to bring “head and gut” together and to develop further are also frequent motivations for dance therapy.
How is the therapeutic process structured?
At the beginning of an individual therapy session, you will explore your goals for the therapy through discussion and movement. The duration and frequency of the therapeutic contacts will depend on this. As a rule, weekly or fortnightly sessions of 60 minutes take place in consultation with me. Here you can creatively express and understand your issues and try out new ways of behaving and acting.
In my approach, I take into account modern therapeutic and neurobiological concepts in combination with the ancient knowledge of dance. Physical and mindfulness exercises, free dancing and creative media promote the therapeutic process. I follow the principles of non-violent communication according to M. Rosenberg.
How can dance therapy support you?
Dancing together without pressure to perform in dance therapy groups leads to stress reduction, vitality and strength. You reflect on yourself or explore your behavior in contacts in a playful and humorous way. If you are interested and have any questions about group offers, please feel free to contact me.
My ethical commitment and dance therapy qualifications meet the assured standards of the Professional Association of Dance Therapists in Germany BTD with recognition as a qualified dance therapist, teaching therapist and supervisor (BTD).
Together with my colleague, music therapist Elka Aurora, I work in the practice for body-oriented psychotherapy in Wiesbaden Dotzheim.
