Practice style (Philosophy)

Roxy has been working with and teaching movement for over two decades worldwide. From rehabilitative settings to pre-professional and professional dancers and athletes, she especially enjoys working with the pre/post natal and senior populations. Roxy brings care and a thoughtful collaborative approach to those she works with. She believes we all have the ability to tune in and connect our minds, bodies, and spirits.  Aiming to educate, she takes a holistic approach, looking at the nuances of the whole body and its patterns.  By creating a safe environment, she strives for a “building blocks” model to build strength, mobility, and relief, enhancing the individual’s capacity for their daily activities and sports.  Roxy’s classes are steeped with knowledge, storytelling, and intuition. She has been known to create serene, calming class environments that take individuals on a journey, leaving them grounded, open, and aligned in their bodies.
