Creating Space

Welcome to Creating Space Within

Stop tuning out, just to get through the day.

Discover how awareness, movement, and deep rest

change the way you experience your body and your life.

You have TENSION that never fully goes away. Soreness after a long day at the desk or on the cushion. Movement that used to be easy isn't anymore. Most advice tells you what to do. Stretch this, strengthen that. It rarely tells you how, or why your body keeps sliding back into the same pattern.

Patterns are learned, neurologically wired. That's good news. It means you can change it.

A different way of learning: movement, reading, reflection, and cooperative exploration become part of one integrated experience.

Free to join. One question at the door.

Get back to doing what you love without the constant background noise of physical & emotional discomfort. You were trained not to listen. You've been conditioned to ignore your own needs.

But pain is a conversation between you and your body that you've been taught to ignore.

Learn how to respond.

It's not enough to be able to sit. You have to be able to sit comfortably. Otherwise, it's background noise that interferes with everything you do, including your ability to enjoy your life.

I teach you to regain the comfort of alignment you once knew as a child, how to do it for yourself. That way, you're not dependent on an external fix. That independence lets you get back to doing the things you love.

The learning doesn't end when the lesson ends.

Awareness Through Movement® gives you an opportunity to discover new possibilities in how you move. Creating Space is where we take that learning further—exploring how greater awareness and mobility become part of everyday life.

Through cooperative learning, thoughtful reading, and somatic exploration, we discover how to recognize familiar patterns, make new choices, and bring more ease and enjoyment into what we do.

Why It Matters

Skeletal Alignment happens when you stop holding, bracing, protecting. From there your energy can flow freely. You literally have more energy for your life.

If you brace as you sit all day to do what you must or what you love, the result is the same. Your comfort & life force are compromised. Your muscles were never meant to hold you up in space...

Personal Alignment lets you feel  more like yourself.

It lets you pursue what you love, without being held back by tension, soreness and exhaustion. Your capacity for living in the fulfillment of all that you are - is the direct result of Creating Space as you free yourself of conditioned patterns of movement, mind and consciousness.

Just being functional isn't the finish line. Being able to participate in life with comfort, awareness, and enjoyment is.

Creating Space Within: A Place to Explore, Learn & Integrate

Creating Space brings together people who want more than another set of mindless exercises.

Here, we explore the relationship between movement, awareness, creativity, and the experience of being fully alive.

Beyond the Movement Lesson

What happens when you take what you discover through Awareness Through Movement off the mat and into your life?

That's where the real exploration begins.

Creating Space is where we bring movement, reading, reflection, and cooperative learning together to explore how new awareness changes the way we experience ourselves and the world around us.

This isn't another series of isolated movement lessons. We learn together, drawing connections between what we feel, what we notice, and how we live.

Read Deeply. Notice More. Discover What's Possible.

Each week, we'll explore a short, thought-provoking excerpt from masters of creativity and somatic intelligence.

Helen Keller, Moshe Feldenkrais, Thomas Hanna, Gabrielle Roth, Mabel E. Todd, Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, Rudolf Steiner, Alan Watts, Joan Ruvinsky, Satyakaam Ramkrishan, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Tara Brach, Gabor Maté, Bessel van der Kolk, Peter Levine, Anne Lamott, Matt Haig, Vladimir Nabokov, Jorge Luis Borges, Virginia Woolf, Zora Neale Hurston —writers and thinkers whose work opens unexpected windows into human perception, sensation, and experience.

Their words invite us to notice what often goes unnoticed: the subtle physical experiences, habitual responses, and unconscious assumptions that shape how we move through life.

Reading and Insight JournalingTM becomes a mirror for self-discovery. Movement gives us another way to explore what we find with a difference: we focus on what works, what is inspired, what gives us life.

Bring the Learning Into Your Life

What changes when you begin to recognize how your body responds to the demands you place on it? When you notice the difference between holding on and letting go, habit and choice, simply getting through the day and actually enjoying it?

We explore those questions together.

Because thriving isn't simply the absence of distress. It's the restoration of our capacity for pleasure, possibility, connection, and delight.

This is where we integrate Awareness Through Movement into our lives.

You'll find guided somatic learning, shared experiences, self-expression, deep rest, and conversations that help affirm new understandings and enhance lived experience.

Come curious. Participate at your own pace. Discover what becomes possible when you stop overriding what you feel and start responding to what you notice.
