Miriam is a dance and movement facilitator, somatic therapy practitioner and bodyworker based in Ōtepoti/Dunedin who has dedicated much of her life researching about embodied practices.

Her offerings weave together elements of her training in:

Mindful, Somatic Approaches to Trauma Therapy (Dr. Paris Williams)
Open Floor Movement (with Geordie Jahner and Open Floor International)
Nonviolent Communication (Yoram Mosenzon and Peace Talks)
butoh dance (Yoshito Ohno and Dairakudakhan)
Body Weather (Min Tanaka)
Skinner Release Technique (Raewyn Thorburn and Wilhemeena Munroe)
Contemporary Dance (Unitec)
Contact Improvisation (ACIC, NZ Contact Retreat)
and other somatic and mindful practices....

Miriam is curious about how dance and movement can offer insights into who we are as human beings, individually and collectively. She has recently begun working with ACC Sensitive Claims clients in support of rebuilding an embodied sense of trust, joy & connection through creativity & nervous system work.

She holds a Masters in Dance Studies and has experience teaching children, parents, the elderly, high-school students, and university students. She regularly offers workshops at the Conscious Dance Aotearoa Festival (Nelson region), Circulation Festival (Dunedin) and other events around the country, often in collaboration with other space-holders.
