A few testimonials from participants from past workshops and classes:
"Chris’s course, Your Empathic Body, was life-changing for me. I’ve been dealing with a serious health condition, and Chris’ class helped me bring playfulness and silliness back into my life. Plus, she showed us how movement is invaluable in identifying and channeling our emotions. She encouraged us to move as if we were discovering and exploring emotions for the first time. Since my center of gravity is often in my head, it was a welcome shift to learn how to let my body lead."
"As a survivor of sexual abuse at a young age, unbeknownst to me, I have been living most of my life in total disassociation to my body because not even this "home" felt safe. With this disassociation now in my awareness, I found much of your different exercises to be very powerful in helping me not just recognize but feel this disassociation and then once I was able to establish safety first, within my environment and then within myself, I could bring a child-like curiosity that allowed me to explore and excavate these forgotten and less known parts of myself.
I am very grateful to be led to your body (no pun intended) of work that both gently and safely encourages adults to connect with and nurture their own inner child through play. I greatly admire and appreciate your passion and enthusiasm for all things emotions, movement, and play as a means to not just heal, but enrich the time we have in the "home" that our bodies truly are."

"Chris provides new pathways and strategies to understanding our ever shifting motivations and feelings through a playful and joyful process that includes movement, language and connection with ourselves and others that can be implemented immediately."
"I went into this class thinking I was the world’s leading expert on my emotions. And I guess I still am, but I learned that for years I’ve been interacting with them in only the most narrow and predictable ways. The class was one eye-opening experience after another, and it taught me how to approach my emotions with more respect and curiosity and without the unconscious agenda to just get them to fall in line. This class showed me that I can use my body and movement to get beyond my preconceived notions of what I feel and how that limits or defines me. After each class I feel freer. My body has shown me: to let go and open up is natural. And it’s fun."
"Chris, your course really has opened up a lot. It certainly has allowed the questioner in me to spot the places where people endeavor to sweep clean the floor of "bad emotions."
"Permission granted to acknowledge and utilize the wisdom my body has been sharing with me since birth.I continue to discover ways to engage with my body’s language, emotions, and guidance. Noticing unexpected opportunities opening in my life. Extraordinary!

"I absolutely loved our time with Chris in class. Something that I noticed during this time was that I genuinely was curious as if I was a kid. Sometimes I get so hooked on a thought or emotion, but this practice was so freeing that it made it very easy to just observe. I personally love to dance, and music is very therapeutic for me so I love to implement similar things in my own life, but I loved some of the questions that Chris gave to stay curious and mindful."
