Authentic Movement is a structured form of movement with two roles, mover and witness. The mover simply follows whatever impulses for movement arise in his (her) body. The witness/facilitator watches (and then coaches) the mover, with compassionate attention. Authentic Movement provides access to the body's wisdom. It assists dancers and choreographers to deepen creative expression. With coaching, it is a powerful way to address issues and transform our internal critical judgment to compassionate observation.

Martha Lask holds a certification in Authentic Movement, has experience in several bodywork methods and is also trained as a coach/facilitator. She customizes Authentic Movement sessions to the unique needs of individuals and groups, providing facilitation, coaching and a variety of movement and body work methods within the structure of Authentic Movement. She also combines Authentic Movement and Coaching to facilitate dialogue in workplace settings.

The role I play as coach/facilitator is to hold the person's goal and intention - whether for deepened creative expression, change or healing - by witnessing, asking questions and reflecting back with care and compassion. I customize sessions for individuals and groups, providing coaching, facilitating dialogue and using other body work methods where appropriate.

I schedule sessions based on mutual availability.
I charge $85 for an individual 1&1/2 hour session.
Group fees are negotiable.
