I have recently retired from academia after 23 years of Service where I have completed my PhD and continued as a Senior Research Fellow, developing technologies to help children with special needs with their communication and social interaction skills. Alongside this, I do have a lifelong passion for dance. I hold a postgraduate diploma in Dance Movement Therapy and have years of experience leading classes and international workshops on dance and movement for self-health and personal development. For over 30 years I also have explored various dance forms and has participated ongoingly in dance classes, workshops and retreats internationally. I am currently continuing my training with the freedomDANCE school, and am a member of the International Conscious Movement Teachers Association (ICMTA).
