Dance has been one way I can express joy, sorrow, confusion--whatever I am feeling--even if I don't know it at the time.

Years ago, I discovered Nia®, a movement lifestyle emerging from roots in the martial arts of Aikido, Tai Chi and Tae Kwon Do; the dance arts of jazz, Duncan Dance and modern dance; and the healing arts of yoga, Alexander Technique and the work of Moshe Feldenkrais®. The movement of the body, mind, and spirit is a way to connect with all that we are.

The work of The Clinic speaks to me as a way to deal with the grief and happiness I have experienced as an oncology nurse.
