About Body Jnana

BJ Philosophy

At Body Jnana, we believe in the deep connection between the mind and body, recognising that our bodies hold the memories of our experiences. Through Dance Movement Therapy (DMT), we explore how our physical sensations, behaviours, and thoughts are all intertwined, offering a holistic approach to self-awareness and transformation. Our bodies often lay the foundation for how we feel, think, and behave—shaping our emotional and cognitive experiences.

We use DMT techniques to help people tune into their bodies, noticing the sensations they feel and the movements they make. This awareness allows individuals to better understand the relationship between their inner and outer worlds.

By exploring these patterns, clients can begin to identify and express emotions, uncover thought-behaviour cycles, and reframe limiting beliefs. This process encourages emotional regulation, shifts unhelpful behaviours, and fosters a deeper connection between the body, mind, and spirit—providing an integrated pathway to healing and growth.

About Me.

A little bit about me.

I have always found solace and self-expression through movement and dance. Since my earliest memories, I have been blessed with an instinctive and profound connection to my body. An innate and acute awareness of my physical being, coupled with a deep understanding of music and rhythms, made me feel as though I possessed a superpower, something truly extraordinary and personal to me. I was “home” inside of myself.

One of my most cherished childhood memories unfolded in my grandparents' pool. There, I discovered the remarkable connection between my body and the water, as if I could seamlessly merge with its fluidity. I would dive into the air, feeling the exhilaration of soaring before plunging into the water's embrace.

Yet, as life unfolded I encountered various challenges, I gradually became disconnected from that innate connection. Difficult experiences and later medical trauma, propelled me into a state of dissociation—a profound disconnection from the very essence of who I was. With this loss of connection, I also noticed a decline in my mental well-being. It was during this time that I embarked on a path of self-discovery, yearning to reunite with the home I had lost within myself.

My journey has been a continuous work in progress, Through unwavering determination and a thirst for healing, I have found my way back to the sanctuary of my body. This transformative process has not only brought me home but has also sparked a deep passion within me. I am now dedicated to guiding others on their paths of self-discovery and healing.

Today, I am grateful that I have reclaimed my sense of self and purpose. I am joyful "home in my body," basking in the harmonious union of movement, expression, and well-being. As I explore new horizons and unearth the depths of my journey, I strive to inspire others to embrace their unique power and find their way back home within themselves. x
