WHEN TALKING TO A THERAPIST IS NOT ENOUGH

Through gentle movement, we will release the rigid muscular armor. We will free the body from tension to restore lightness, quiet the mind, and reclaim the right to simply be a Woman.

Date: October 2, Friday
Time: 11:00-13:00
Location: London, Holborn
Group: Strictly limited to 15 people

Who this workshop is for

    • You're going through a difficult period in life. You don't feel like doing anything. No energy. "I want to start living again!"
    • You're tired of always being "strong" - it feels like "if not me, everything will fall apart"
    • An endless stream of thoughts, anxiety. My mind just won't switch off, I can't relax.
    • You've forgotten the last time you felt alive, light, and sexy.
Free consultation

Why will this help me?

Dance movement therapy (DMT) has nothing to do with classical dance. It is a deep psychological practice.

The body doesn't know how to lie: it holds your suppressed emotions, fears, and the weight of responsibility.

You can understand everything with your mind, but as long as the body stays tense, the stress won't go anywhere. In DMT, through directed movement, we send your brain a direct physical signal: "I am safe, it's okay to let go of control".

What you'll get after the workshop

  • Release hypercontrol and anxiety

    You will physically feel the tension release from your shoulders, the tightness fade, and deep, calm breathing return.

  • A fundamental sense of support

    You will regain your inner center of gravity. The feeling that "the ground is slipping away" will be replaced by a sense of absolute stability and safety.

  • Release of suppressed feelings:

    We will safely release accumulated stress, anger, and fatigue, making room for a ringing stillness and clarity of mind.

  • Returning to yourself:

    You will stop fighting yourself. Your body will regain its forgotten softness, spontaneity, and the right to be a living, feeling woman.

There is no right or wrong here.
Any reaction you have is normal.

We are all completely different, and each of us comes into the room with our own personal story. That's why your insights and your experience in the workshop will be entirely unique. Some cry here, finally releasing old pain, while others laugh sincerely, feel joy, and smile. Some get incredible pleasure from every movement, while others are surprised to realize how much unprocessed stress had been hiding in their muscles all along.

Any reaction you have is the right one.

About me

For over 20 years I worked as a director-choreographer, noticing every day how movement changes people's state. But my real path into therapy began with a personal story - I was looking for a way to help my son cope with dyslexia.

I began deeply studying neuroplasticity and the connection between movement and brain function, and it was through body-movement exercises that we overcame my son's dyslexia.

To back up my experience with knowledge, I completed the following education:
- Roehampton University, Dance Movement Psychotherapy
- International accreditations, certified by IPHM and CMA
- Dance movement therapy workshop facilitator with a diploma from the Institute of Psychology.
- 20 years of experience as a director and choreographer.

Reviews

At the start, my anxiety level was 9 out of 10. I wanted to run away, there was terrible resistance. During the process, without even noticing, I relaxed COMPLETELY. Even the tension in my back went away. By the end, in the wide-open space, I just burst into tears - it felt so good, like I'd found freedom.

TAIS

At first I kept yawning nonstop, then during the deep breathing I wanted to freeze up and stop breathing. The molding exercise brought pleasure and enjoyment in the body, and after that I moved freely, any way I wanted.
When I released the blocks - my body felt as if it had been undressed, I lay down on the mat and had the feeling of lying on a beach. The circle of women was something special, like a glowing circle floating above the ground!
Lina, thank you so much for this experience!

OLGA

This practice was exactly what I needed!!! Although more than once I felt like bailing. At the start of the practice, my body was holding so many unprocessed emotions that I sobbed and even screamed. By the end, I felt lightness and a sense of freedom.

NATALIA

Thank you, Lina! I feel there's still more inside me to release. I really wanted to scream... Of course offline and online are different... but online is wonderful too!! And your offline sessions are pure magic!
After the practice, love for my body, tenderness toward myself, and femininity awakened

KATERINA FARINA

I don't feel comfortable letting things go deeper than I allow myself to, so my mind actively kept everything out - I felt heaviness and had to lie down during some of the exercises, then made myself get up, listen, and keep going. And honestly, I need some time to process, because right now there's no anxiety, no fatigue, no fear, just calm.

YANA

I realized that my body is in a very deep freeze. And that it needs ongoing work. When we did the exercise to release blocks - tensing parts of the body and then having to relax - that's where the key realization hit: I wanted to tense up again, my body was almost trying to go back to that state.

Once again, huge gratitude to you for this session

Questions

No, you don't. This isn't about choreography, it's about free movement. You don't need to look graceful here, and we don't teach routines.

Any comfortable clothing that doesn't restrict your movement. We practice barefoot or in socks.

We start with introductions and a warm-up, and I gently prepare you and your body for deeper work. We learn to feel the body and its tension, and how to release it - I create a safe space where everyone can relax and open up. Then we move on to the main exercises, where all kinds of insights happen. Some cry, some laugh and feel joy. Everyone has their own story.

Absolutely not. Every session includes time for sharing (discussion), but you only say what you want to say, and only if you want to. You can simply listen to others or stay silent altogether. I respect every participant's boundaries with care - no one here will try to force emotions out of you.

Yes. My training is not a sport, not fitness, and not stretching. We're not chasing records. The core principle of the therapy is to move from a place of comfort and safety. If at any point your body needs to simply lie on the floor and breathe, you'll lie down and breathe. I will always help adapt the practice to your body's abilities.

DMT (dance movement therapy) is a perfect complement to classical psychotherapy. A psychologist works "top-down" (through the mind to the body), while we work "bottom-up" (from the body to the mind). Often, it's after body-based practices that clients experience their biggest insights, which they then discuss with their psychologist. These are two different but very powerful tools.
