FRANKLIN METHOD®
As a Registered Somatic Movement Educator and Therapist (RSME/RSMT) and Advanced Franklin Method® Educator, I am qualified to teach every element of the Franklin Method®, the corresponding workshops and classes, either group or 1:1. I also work with dance organisations, dance schools and a small contemporary company that invite me to guest teach their own dancers using Franklin Method®.
I help dancers embody any system within our body, to help create comfortable and effortless movement, to develop technical or expressive skills in dance or problem solve some issues a dancer may be experiencing.
I teach in Birmingham, Shropshire and online as well as nationally and internationally. Please see my website and blog for specific details about the way I use Franklin Method® for Dancers as well as my Wellness Wednesday Writing for OneDance UK.
I am both a trauma informed practitioner and have completed the BAID (Black Artists in Dance) training.
