What is DMT?

Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) is a form of therapy that uses movement and dance to promote emotional, social, cognitive and physical integration. This holistic approach to healing utilises the body’s innate ability to express itself and helps individuals tap into their inner resources, cultivate resilience and develop coping strategies for life’s challenges.

It is practised in various settings, including hospitals, rehabilitation centres, schools, and community centres, and is suitable for people of all ages and abilities.

How does it work?

In DMT, the body’s movements serve as a means to express thoughts, feelings and experiences. Through guided movement exploration that is adapted to each group or individual, DMT fosters self-awareness, improves communication skills, reduces stress, and addresses a wide range of physical and psychological issues.

SONIA THARANI

Sonia is a certified Dance Movement Therapy practitioner and dedicated educator with a profound passion for facilitating transformative experiences. Drawing from her own journey, dance has been pivotal in her personal growth and well-being, inspiring her dedication to this embodied form of therapy.

Her commitment to helping children and adults reap the benefits of dance is solidified by her ADTA credentials and enriched by specialised training in trauma-informed practices, ensuring she brings a comprehensive and sensitive approach to her therapeutic work.

In her sessions, whether online or in person, she creates a nurturing and non-judgmental space where you can reconnect mind and body, explore emotions safely, and learn to handle challenges effectively.

When words fail to capture the depth of what we carry—sometimes too difficult to voice or buried deep in our subconscious—moving the body becomes a powerful way to express and process these emotions. The body’s remarkable ability to recall memories can provide clarity on certain patterns. Through mindful movement, dialogue, and artistic expression, Sonia guides you in uncovering and understanding these hidden aspects of yourself, leading to profound healing, inner balance, and personal growth.

Additionally, she serves as a committee member of the IADMT, contributing to the advancement of this therapeutic discipline and ensuring you receive the highest standard of care.
