At Heartdoor Healing, you don’t just talk about trauma. You move through it.
When experiences overwhelm the nervous system, the body keeps the score. Tight shoulders. Shallow breath. A jaw that never quite unclenches. You can understand your story cognitively and still feel trapped in it physically.
Dance/Movement Therapy invites the body into the healing conversation.
This is trauma-informed, consent-based somatic work designed especially for women who are ready to release what no longer belongs in their nervous system.
No “good at dancing” required.
No choreography required.
No performance required.
Through guided movement, breathwork, rhythm, and somatic tracking, we create space for incomplete stress responses to finish. The nervous system learns that the danger has finally passed. Muscles soften. Breath deepens. Identity begins to reorganize.
Healing becomes embodied, not just understood.
Trauma and emotions get stored in the body. It imprints in sensation, posture, and reflex.

According to the American Dance Therapy Association (ADTA) it is the psychotherapeutic use of dance, movement, body awareness, and embodied communication to foster healing and well-being for all individuals, families, and communities.
It works with the autonomic nervous system by tapping into implicit memory. It helps the body down regulate and build new emotional regulation pathways.
Yes! It’s a powerful combination for deeper subconscious and nervous system repatterning. Movement opens the door, hypnosis rewires the narrative. Together, they create accelerated, embodied transformation.
