About Fritha

I love moving, being outside, learning, dancing, and spending time with my family and friends. I have become fascinated with developing resilience, understanding physical manifestations of emotional experiences as a way to move towards health, developing self-trust and accessing inner wisdom, and removing barriers to authenticity.

Growing up in a culture that does not value the body or one’s own experience as valuable and viable avenues for self-knowledge and learning, while at the same time spending hours in the dance studio learning to develop skills of attention, awareness, and bodily expression through movement has perhaps given me a dual sense of myself. I do trust in my body and my intuition, and yet I’m constantly discounting the wisdom that springs from my self-knowing.

I am deeply committed to developing a sense of agency in my own being, and I am passionate about providing an environment in which my clients and students can discover their ability to trust themselves and their own experiences.

Every day my clients teach me this is not only possible, but inevitable within a safe and supportive context.

I am consistently in awe of the innate intelligence and wisdom that my students and clients tap into on a daily basis when the conditions are just right. When we reconnect with our ability to listen to our bodies, honor our emotions, and tease apart the patterns and beliefs we embody, we can move towards health, ease, and living a life that feels fully in tune with what we want for ourselves. This is life-changing.

As an EFT and Feldenkrais Practitioner I provide a judgement-free zone in which the people I work with can connect to their authentic selves and generate change through creativity, self-knowledge, and self-direction.
