Her interpretive dancing and psychotherapeutic skills have provided healing, not only to herself, but also to countless others during her career. Defined, dance/movement therapy (DMT) is the psychotherapeutic use of movement and dance to support the intellectual, emotional, and motor functions of the body, where movement is interpreted more like a language. Movement can express aspects of a personality that a licensed therapist can be in tune with for a deeper connection in recovery therapy.The therapist responds to the movements, assesses body language, nonverbal behaviors and emotional expressions to develop interventions to address the specific needs of the client."The author's inner beauty is manifested in her courageous self-exploration and reflection. She shares her own experience asan instrument of healing and reconciliation for all who have come to know the violence, trauma and pain caused through neglect. Beauty saves, and this reflection will be a port in a storm of many people's lives, offering a new hope and much- needed re-birth." - Zachariah F. Presuitti, SJ.
