About Ann

“As we tap into the deep sources of bodily wisdom through creative art expression, we dance the renewal, recreation, and healing of ourselves and our world.”    Anna Halprin 

I was born in the mid 1960s and grew up in the country. In my teens, twenties and thirties I was hugely determined to find a freedom and sought that in the world of material achievement and changing the world in any way I could.  I was also extremely lucky to have some people in my life who lived in a heart-ful way and through that crack I started to discover myself as a human being.

One of those cracks was a ‘5 Rhythms’ workshop. I discovered I loved to dance and that it brought a clarity, feeling and freedom into my life.  Eventually I came across Ya’Acov and Susannah Darling Khan. As they developed their own Movement Medicine practice I followed as I knew it was the medicine I needed.

I was hugely lucky to be able to study in depth with Susannah and Ya'Acov as a Apprentice and later to follow the path to become a Movement Medicine teacher. This is a huge pleasure, privilege and source of on-going insight and inspiration.  I love to feel and witness the capacity of Movement Medicine to help us be more ourselves, to love and have a bit more compassion for ourselves and others, and to see the many ways the dance floor helps us in our lives.
