Julie is a dance therapist, artistic mediation practitioner, and facilitator of body expression workshops for families. Through a sensitive, playful, and creative approach, she guides children and adults in sharing a special space-time, exploring the connection to oneself, the other, and the body in motion, within an adapted and safe environment.
Her approach is rooted in dance therapy. It connects danced movement, body awareness, and play, to foster the parent-child relationship, shared pleasure, and creativity in motion.
The child's overall development is supported through dance play, and parents experience movement as a way of expression, presence, and bonding.
