Naturopathic Mental Health Mondays: Dance Therapy
“Movement is a language, our first language. Nonverbal and movement communication begins in utero and continues throughout the lifespan. Dance/movement therapists believe that nonverbal language is as important as verbal language and use both forms of communication in the therapeutic process.
Dance/movement therapy (DMT) is defined by the American Dance Therapy Association (ADTA) as the psychotherapeutic use of movement to promote emotional, social, cognitive, and physical integration of the individual, for the purpose of improving health and well-being.” **
To know more about dance therapy and its benefits, watch the video below where I chatted with dance/movement therapist, Cashel Campbell.
Cashel Campbell MS, R-DMT, LCAT-LP, is the creator & owner of Feel Heal Dance. Feel Heal Dance is a Dance/Movement Psychotherapy and Spiritual Intuitive practice. As an Energy healer and advanced Reiki Master (Gassho & Sho Ka Reih Reiki), she provides embodied therapeutic support through movement wellness & reiki/spiritual counseling sessions.
This is part of my “Mental Health Mondays” wherein each Monday, I will be having a conversation with my favorite mental health therapists so that you can better navigate emotionally and mentally during these very stressful times.
