Victoria’s philosophy is that health comes from practicing the intention of having an integrated experience of the body - as a physical, cognitive, emotional, spiritual, energetic and moving vessel. By supporting you to discover your (often unconscious) patterns and habits - of thought, story, belief, emotion, energetic and sensory experience, and of action, reaction and response, Victoria helps you become reacquainted with your resources and strengths, to discover new options of choice, to find what you want more of in your life, and to safely claim and let go of patterns of thought and action.
Victoria earned her undergraduate degree from Washington University in St Louis in 1986 and her graduate degree from Stephens College in 2015 with a Master’s degree in professional counseling, where her thesis evaluated the existing research on the relationship between movement/dance and mood, especially for people with cognitive disorders. She is a 2017 graduate from the Laban Institute of Movement Studies (LIMS) in Brooklyn, NY with a Masters level certification in movement analysis. Her thesis project with LIMS observed and analyzed the value of internal and external somatic awareness by a mental health professional with an adult survivor of trauma. Her work is greatly influenced by various somatic educators, including Irmgard Bartenieff, Susan Aposhyan, Peter Levine and Emilie Conrad.
