Kathy Montan, C.S.C.

Kathy Montan is a Registered Somatic Movement Therapist who has been teaching personal growth workshops for more than 15 years.

Her area of expertise is bringing the mind, body and spirit into one integrated whole so that people can function at their highest capacity. She uses inspiring music and very specific movements so that the body can express itself in all its’ emotional qualities. Everyone can relate to and enjoy their primary movement quality (how you usually dance), but when we stretch ourselves and try on something new, it expands us and becomes a healing movement for us.

Guided imagery is a wonderful way to integrate what has been touched through movement. By moving the body first, it relaxes and allows the mind to be fully present to healing images. It often takes on a spiritual quality as the deep relaxation allows a receptivity in the body/mind to spiritual guidance. Besides teaching groups, Kathy is in private practice as a Body-Centered Expressive Therapist as a graduate of Leven’s Institute of Movement Therapy. Her individual sessions use many nonverbal modalities such as drawing, drama, movement, body awareness and meditation. It is one of the newer therapies and works well as an alternative to (or in conjunction with) more traditional talk therapy.

In addition to teaching at the Yoga Loft, Kathy has an office in Canton and appointments are scheduled individually.
