Daphne Georghiou, MA, RSMT, CAMT, MFTi, has 14 years of experience leading movement ritual groups, empowering the sacred feminine, facilitating body-based energy healing circles, transformational somatic journeys, and body-based expressive arts therapy experiences.
What Daphne's clients have said about her:
“Daphne helps me to be me. She creates an incredibly open, safe fertile ground/space where my dance and my being can play deep, heal, and then teach me. Daphne is completely present with me and I feel so whole-heartedly listened to, witnessed, and affirmed. Sometimes she sees me better than I see myself. Our work together has gotten me through life lessons that felt overwhelming, in a way that became poetic, sweet, and filled with light!”
Camille Dieterle, OTD, OTR/L Director, OT Faculty Practice, USC, Los Angeles.

"the truest expression of a people is in the dance,
bodies never lie" (Martha Graham).
"creativity is the emerging unexpected, it is not predictable--it is moment to moment capacity" (Emilie Conrad).
There is an essential connection between art and life, which can facilitate healing and change. We are interested in a new aesthetic that reflects the here and now reality of peoples' authentic life experiences, rather than a beauty based on form or technique. For us it is our real life experiences that feed our art, and our art that informs the real issues in our lives. We call this the Life-Art Process. (Tamalpa Institute).
“Movement is one of the best ways to approach change, because the essence of movement is change.” Daphne Georghiou, MA.
FOCUS: I specialize in supporting busy, professional women, who feel disconnected from their inner strength and their feminine power, and who are suffering as a result--mentally, physically, emotionally or spiritually. I help professional women connect with their higher purpose in life, particularly, if they are in the midst of loss, or a very challenging life-transition. I work with these women using the dynamic nature of the Life-Art Process, the cellular regenerating potency of Continuum Movement, and the universal wisdom of Energetic Healing tools.
Programs and Packages available—please inquire.
Let yourself be guided in creative movement and expressive flow, for a regenerating somatic experience. Learn what it means to listen to your body. Find renewal in the wisdom of your own body and learn to access these rejuvenating tools at any time.
Connect with the interconnectedness of all life. Feel what it means to be one with everything. Regardless of background or ability, the gift of somatic awareness and creative expression is available to everyone. It is our birthright!
As a Halprin practitioner, and a Registered Somatic Movement Therapist, my sessions with clients come alive and are enriched by calling upon image, dialogue, poetic writing, natural movement and dramatic expression - all in the spirit of the creative potency that my work aims to inspire.
"The soul speaks to us through the arts and creativity, through story and metaphor, through rich and often ancient symbols, and through expressing authentically with soma, the body. Continuum Movement facilitates intensive somatic healing and regenerative work, using breath and sound vibration to tap into the wisdom of the body. The Life-Art process offers us a universal template for understanding the creative language of the soul beautifully--the language of symbolic imagery, and poetry of movement, art, drama, dance and performance."
Daphne Georghiou
Daphne Georghiou aims to build and nurture healing environments, which adhere to the creative expression of the individual in so far as they cultivate a climate for self-understanding, self-knowledge, self-acceptance, body consciousness and a harmonious coexistence with others. Daphne believes that the organism of the body is our greatest tool for gaining and maintaining emotional health and psychological wellbeing. All of our thoughts, feelings, traumas, and the stories of our lives are housed in the physical body itself.
