Emer Heavey MA UKCP PG Dip DMT
Born in Ireland in 1962, my background is in various forms of bodywork. I studied contemporary dance in my teens and early twenties, and then changed route to study non-stylised movement for ten years in the UK, with Sandra Reeve, with whom I trained to teach 'Move into Life". Other teachers I have studied with include: Ruth Noble, Suprapto Suryodarmo and Linda Hartley.
I qualified as a Dance Movement Therapist (PG Dip DMT) in 1992, and also practiced Therapeutic Massage. As well as having a private practice and facilitating groups for over twenty years, I worked for five years for a Bristol based charity, supporting the families of children with life-threatening illnesses, and in a residential setting, with women recovering from drug and alcohol dependency.
This led to my interest in psychotherapy, and an MA in Core Process Psychotherapy in 2003. I have been in private practice for ten years, and am UKCP registered. I also offer supervision and am qualified in Mindfulness based Supervision (OPAL). For more information about my psychotherapy practice, please visit: http://www.bathpsychotherapysupervision.com
Essential movement arose out of 25 years of studying non-stylised approaches to movement. It is influenced by my work as a psychotherapist, my personal movement and meditation practices, and my inner work as a student of the Ridhwan School for fifteen years. I am committed to my own journey of healing and creativity. This is supported by my life in
the countryside, a love of dance and painting, and a sense of humour.
