ABOUT
_PNG.png)
Kerri has been an avid yogi and dancer since her teen years taking yoga and BodyFlow at Goodlife Fitness with her mom and sister. After a brief yoga break-up, she came back to a frequent yoga practice to challenge the stress she experienced during her undergraduate degree in Dance at York University, making her way first to the Modo Yoga community. She received her 500hr Modo Teacher Training in Kelowna BC in 2018. With an eye out for mind, body, and spirit therapies Kerri expanded to become a Reiki Master that same year. During her first years as a yoga teacher Kerri expanded her practice to become a Kids Yoga Teacher through Rainbow Yoga (2018). She has since moved on to complete Trauma-informed Yoga training (2019), Modo Calm Yin and Restorative Yoga training (2021), and Modo Flow Vinyasa Yoga training (2021). Kerri then added Mystical Numerology (2020), Breathwork (2021) and Mantra/Chanting work to her arsenal of healing during the pandemic when she saw how much more support people needed through more than just movement. Kerri recently graduated from Pratt Institute's Dance/Movement Therapy Masters of Science program and is now a Registered Dance/Movement Therapist (2022) and Canadian Certified Counsellor (Qualifying 2023).
Kerri brings her curiosity and open heart into every class she teaches, allowing her students the space to be open themselves. Her goal in classes and treatments is to hold space for people and give them the tools for their own healing. She encourages everyone to approach life with a child-like freedom to truly express their authentic, moment-to-moment self. Kerri believes in the power of the mental, spiritual and physical health balance. Her therapy practice approaches people with an acceptance of whatever they bring with them today.

DMT
Dance/Movement Therapy
Dance movement therapy (DMT) is based on the premise that thoughts, feelings and the experience of self are expressed through the body and movement. It is a relational process that integrates emotional, cognitive, physical and social aspects of self.
The DMT approach incorporates knowledge from psychotherapeutic approaches, psychology, sensorimotor and developmental movement, movement analysis and neuroscience. The elements of dance (body awareness, rhythm, time, space, gesture, posture, dynamics) are applied as a framework for exploration, discovery, learning and change. DMT focuses on movement behaviour as it emerges in the therapeutic relationship. Expressive, communicative, and adaptive behaviours are all considered for group and individual treatment. Body movement, as the core component of dance, simultaneously provides the means of assessment and the mode of intervention.
