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 thirty 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 am UKCP registered and also offer supervision. I 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 over 30 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.
