Testimonial
"Reading up on dementia therapy and medical research, and grasping that my 85 year old father’s abilities would increasingly diminish over time, I chose dance therapy to bring him joy, and to slow his debilitating symptoms. Dance therapy is the resistance against the war of dementia. The glory worth fighting for is the precious meaning of life and enhanced relationships. My father and family are blessed to be touched by Emma’s Dance Garden. The garden is her creative mind
and you can play with her there. It is a profound experience for Dad."
-- Cath, Daughter of Dance Movement Therapy Participant
