Hi everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve been active here, and I wanted to take a moment to reconnect and share where life has taken me.

Many of you know me from my years as a ballet teacher, and some of you (or your children!) have been part of the classes and performances I’ve taught and directed. Ballet has been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember, and movement will always be my first language.

Over the past few years, my path has expanded in some exciting ways. I’m currently working as an associate psychologist, finishing my doctorate, and writing my dissertation on the intersection of somatics, depth psychology, and altered states of consciousness. I’ve become deeply immersed in the ways our bodies hold both trauma and wisdom, and how movement, breath, and embodiment can be profound tools for healing and transformation.

What I’ve come to realize is that my work is not about choosing between psychology and dance—it’s about weaving them together. Ballet, psychology, somatics, and embodiment are not separate worlds; they are all part of the same conversation about the mind, body, and soul. Whether through dance, therapeutic work, or deep inner exploration, my passion remains the same: helping others connect with themselves in a meaningful, embodied way.

Going forward, I’m inspired to share more of my current work in these realms. As I start posting more, I’d also love to hear from you—what’s your connection to dance (or movement in general) these days?

Thank you for being here! I’m excited to be more active on this page again and connect with you all 🐦‍🔥

With love,

Kerri
