MY BIO

Beatriz Giraldo MA, LMHC

I was born and raised in Colombia, South America. For more than four decades I have developed my professional life as a health worker with a holistic approach.

There are a number of therapies that come under the umbrella of holistic, and they stress an integral approach to physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. To accomplish this integration I use a variety of therapeutic techniques, from western and eastern psychotherapy, as well as elements from many cultures and spiritual traditions.

My unique approach has developed from my professional work as a mental health occupational therapist and psychotherapist in my country of origin, and as a mental health counselor in North America. I have years of extensive training in psychoanalysis and holistic therapy, Chinese traditional medicine, group and family therapy, and movement and music therapy.

I am the creator of Dancing Toward Your Center workshops that address stress management, relaxation and personal growth. I also facilitate drumming and sound circles as a healing experience.

"My movement workshops, involve expressing your heart, finding your center, and trusting your body. The ultimate goal is connecting mind, body, and spirit."
