Kathy is the co-founder of Open Floor International, an organization that promotes conscious dance as a form of well-being, community building, peace-making, and creativity.

She has danced her whole life, but moving without outside, imposed choreography is the skill she relies on most.

Kathy has taught dance to thousands of people on many continents for over 40 years. She sees that habits we resort to on the dance floor are similar to what we rely on off the dance floor.

Noticing and modifying our thoughts and beliefs, finding authentic expression for our needs and emotions, and building tolerance for our differences with others are key elements to health and wellness. These are the tenants of her work.

Kathy now trains others to teach embodied movement and moving meditation. Her work is open source, registered on the Creative Commons, and governed by a process called Dynamic Governance. Equivalency, efficiency, and transparency are its trademarks.
