 Dance/movement therapy, usually referred to simply as dance therapy or DMT, is a type of therapy that uses movement to help individuals achieve emotional, cognitive, physical, and social integration. Beneficial for both physical and mental health, dance therapy can be used for stress reduction, disease prevention, and mood management. In addition, DMT's physical component offers increased muscular strength, coordination, mobility, and decreased muscular tension. Dance/movement therapy can be used with all populations and with individuals, couples, families, or groups. In general, dance therapy promotes self-awareness, self-esteem, and a safe space for the expression of feelings.

Each experience is intentionally designed around a theme, such as nervous-system nourishment, self-trust, embodied confidence, creativity, rest, transition, or reconnecting with joy. Depending on the offering, sessions may include gentle movement, nature, creative art experientials, yoga, somatic exploration, breathwork, sound bowls, journaling, partner or group reflection, oracle-card prompts, coaching exercises, and spacious time to rest and integrate.
