About The Blog
After a lifetime of embodiment as a dancer, commercial actress, teacher and performance coach, I am excited to share the insights I've gained from these experiences.
I call it the bodymind because of the synergistic interplay of these key aspects of ourselves- the body's senses informing our thoughts and the subsequent bodily reaction resulting from those very thoughts. It's an exciting loop of information-sharing that shapes the way our DNA is expressed. We can actually choose our health and wellness, mentally and physically.
The bodymind, if understood and honored, can help us optimize our potential in every aspect of our lives.
I invite you to read more about my discoveries and what's ahead for The Seasoned Bodymind.
Personalized Optimization Services

Total Transformation Program
This program may encompass a wide range of techniques depending on the individual’s abilities and desired outcomes. Personalized Optimization has at its heart that what is “optimal” is fundamentally a personal choice.
Intended to be facilitated as a series, with cumulative layers of awareness and neuromuscular repatterning that requires reinforcement and repetition over time, but much benefit can be derived from just experiencing session one.
In Session One- the Fundamentals of the Bodymind Technique:
-
Breathing mechanics as a pivotal aspect of health and the motivation for all movement
-
Access and strengthening of the core as critical to efficient initiation of movement and balance
-
Visualization of directional energy to replace effort with ease (The Alexander Technique)
-
Conditioning for Muscular Balance and Metabolic Stabilization
Targeted Performance Insights Program
This program is meant to provide added perspectives/layers of awareness about already established activities or fitness regimens. It will begin with the same fundamentals as the other programs but will have a narrower scope relevant to the desired outcomes and personal goals.

Discussion of activity-based goals/challenges
-
