DORIS MARANDA , M.A. Humanistic Psychology, is an authorized Continuum Movement teacher and has been studying and training with Emilie Conrad, founder of Continuum and Susan Harper of Continuum Montage, since 1989.

To her, this work is a spiritual practice and has opened her up to possibilities of living in her body that she had onlybegin to envision in her work as a psyche/soma therapist and educator. Doris says, "It is the basis for everything that I do." These processes have also been most beneficial in her dealing with post-polio syndrome and chronic fatigue. During the past year, with the completion of Somatic Experiencing training and a reopening of her therapeutic counselling practice, Doris has found ways to blend the powerful tools of Continuum with the emotional waves and the fabric and content of our life stories. "In movement, there is no separation and as we begin to live, breathing, dancing and expressing our experiences, there comes a joining and a wholeness that leads to healing and to an excitation that counteracts the insanity and fragmentation that we encounter in the world around us."
