WELCOME I am a Licensed Psychologist and Certified Group Psychotherapist-R, as well as a Fellow of the American Group Psychotherapy Association (FAGPA). For over 40 years I was in clinical practice and worked with adolescents and adults, couples, families, and psychotherapy groups. In 1998 I began my training in The Nia Technique, a mind/body/emotions practice made up of 5 movement forms from the dance arts, martial arts, and healing arts. I have a Black Belt and have taught in-person Nia classes in the Boston, Massachusetts area at Wellbridge, Facing Cancer Together, and Laughing Dog Yoga. I have led over 40 workshops at group psychotherapy conferences that help group therapists to develop embodied attunement through movement and sensory based practices. |

CLASSES Nia Moving to Heal Classes, Live Streaming on Zoom Ongoing classes on Saturday and Wednesday mornings, 10-11 AM, EST. Nia Moving to Heal (M2H) class experience is done standing as well as sitting with the support of a chair. The Nia Technique is based on dance, martial, and healing arts. Music will give you the inspiration to choose movement that feels good, in your own way and in your own time. The purpose is to self-heal in body, mind, spirit, and emotions. This slower, gentler Nia class is ideal for active seniors, those with physical limitations, and psychotherapists who have been working for many hours on the internet. We begin the class by connecting with each other. What needs healing today? How would you like to feel better? We end the class with your reflections on your experience and body gratitude. How and what did you heal as result of the movement medicine? What do you want to take with you into your day and life? Class fee is $60 for any 5 classes . For payment instructions and registration please contact me at suzannecohen88@gmail.com I will send you additional information and the zoom link for the workshops.
