Hi, I am a student of life of some good polish origins and I made Scotland my home a life time ago. Initially I studied philosophy because I didn’t know what to do with myself, until I discovered Movement Medicine dance and that was a game changer. Dance turned out to be my medicine, my refuge, my safe space. It’s kind of ironic, because dance was also something I struggled with. I loved it, but I thought – I can’t dance, I can’t move gracefully, beautifully and of course, ‘I’m not good’ enough. I felt uncomfortable in my body. I also knew that this can change.I chose to become an apprentice to the best teachers I’ve ever met, Ya’Acov and Susannah Darling Khan, the founders of the School of Movement Medicine and since finishing professional training in 2018, I’ve been teaching in the beautiful city of Edinburgh and online.Dance brings me closer to free, brings me a lot of joy and release. I also practice cold water swimming, love being out in nature, and not taking myself too seriously.Throughout my life I have always been of service in working with people, be it in the public sector as well as in a support setting, assisting people with autism to live fulfilling and meaningful lives. Now I love holding space for people and sharing this medicine, the simplicity of movement, breath, exploration and freedom.I love creativity in all forms and have a great passion for clowning and bringing joy. I believe that joy is a necessity in our ever-changing and challenging reality. This is why I have a great interest in healthcare clowning and the power of laughter.
