About Stefanie

Therapeutic Dance/Movement Practitioner

A child’s daily experiences are like a spontaneous dance, varying in tempo, style, and intensity. I support children and families with social-emotional development through therapeutic dance/movement and play.

With over 15 years of experience as a registered early childhood educator and dance choreographer, I have experiences working in the non-profit, public health, and private practice sectors. It is my joy to help children learn the mind-body connection and support emotional regulation through their innate sense of movement. By coming alongside parents and caregivers, I support adults by empowering them with guidance strategies catered to each child's unique needs. I have partnered with families to support early childhood mental health, developmental differences, depression, anxiety, postpartum care, and maternal mental health.

By discovering together what is beneath a child's behaviour, I help families form connections and understanding for one another. I value a collaborative and integrated approach by working with a child’s extended network of adults, including their caregivers, teachers, and health professionals.

I am currently pursuing my master's degree in marriage and family therapy with additional training in dance/movement and play therapies. It would be my privilege to serve your family as you dance through the early years with your children.
