PERSONAL RECOMMENDATIONS 

“Carolee’s greatest gift is the power of her presence. I’ve learned how to trust again, through her non-judgmental, comforting attention.”

“I had been in traditional talk therapy, but it was not helping with my weekly migraines.  Through Innerdance I have learned how to listen to my body, recognize cut off emotions and integrate my body, mind, and spirit.  My headaches have decreased in frequency, but just as importantly, I feel more comfortable in my own skin.”

“I’ve never been in a group where I felt so free to say anything I’m feeling.  Carolee is a great support and I appreciate how she often seems to know what I am thinking or feeling.”

“I went to Innerdance because I wanted to give myself permission to play.  Through these sessions I’m learning to fully feel and become more alive.”

“I’ve learned to let my body speak – it tells me what is going on and helps lead me to what to do next.”
