What led you to this Field and career path?
I have been a folk dancer since 1962, so dance therapy was a natural extension to working with people using dance and story. I began to dance with a visit to Israel and Israel folk dance. While in Israel I witnessed a great deal of intergenerational trauma, began to research trauma in my own family, and learned that dance and the arts are intimately suited to working cross-culturally with trauma.
