Agnes & Alison

Agnes (she/her)

In our workshops and retreats, I would love to share the freedom and joy that I find when I dance.
My personal journey with dance and movement started as a child, trying many different formal dance styles (ballroom, renaissance, belly dance, afro, salsa). Later, I discovered a whole new world of dance, through conscious dance and embodied presence experiences. I have tried various approaches (Body Mind Centering, 5 Rhythms, Body Time, Authentic Movement and Trance Dance) and decided to become a trained Expressive Arts and Dance Therapist in 2006.
By doing dance, as an authentic expression of myself and the world within, I finally felt at home. Here, people understood a language that I didn't even know I was speaking: the language of my body and the language of my authentic movement and expression.
I became a fully certified Expressive Arts and Dance Therapist in 2015, while leading conscious dance groups (for children as well as adults) for 10 years in Europe, before relocating to New Zealand in 2019.
Since my training, I became the mother of two sons, an embodied experience that was, and is still truly transformational for me.
Shaped by all previous experiences, both beautiful and hard, an inspiring cooperation with Zsuzsa started, co-facilitating the Embodied Seasons workshops and multiple women circles and retreats.

Alison (she/her)

Alison is passionate about health and wellness. Her roles as a massage therapist, yoga teacher, pilates instructor, and women's circle facilitator all contribute to her holistic approach to health and well-being. 
Her extensive background in therapeutic bodywork and mindful movement, coupled with her heightened intuition and awareness, make her a conscious and attentive space holder for fostering the mind-body connection.
She strives to always create a nurturing environment where individuals can explore and deepen their understanding of themselves physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Alison’s intention is to provide individuals with the tools and support they need to embark on their wellness journey: to enrich, empower and encourage a deeper sense of connection in all aspects of life.
