Energy Moves® is a healing art that develops energy awareness via body awareness. The guided imagery and rhythmic breath becomes the fuel for conscious movement that aligns us with our innate wholeness.
CJ's philosophy is that anyone can learn to feel, move, and interact with the energy that supports us from within and around our bodies. Choosing to pay attention while engaging the body with pleasant imagery, invites high vibration energy into our physical world, and leads the way to our authentic living.
Drawing from her experiences with tai chi, yoga, meditation, acupuncture, philosophical studies, and Reconnective Healing®, CJ bases Energy Moves programs on "Intentions" that reflect our innate ability to Connect, Align, and Allow.
"Increasing our energy awareness through the body is simply about remembering to tune into our greatest potential. We're all in a constant energy exchange, internally and with the world around us. Energy Moves is a tool for becoming a more conscious participant in this process, leading ultimately to thinking and acting in ways that are nourishing rather than depleting to us."
Energy Moves ® exercises are easily modified for limited mobility or stamina. Exercising intention does not require full physical function! While seated, standing, or lying down, a person can execute appropriate body movements with fluid breath and focused awareness, using the "imagination muscle" to engage the body, regardless of its condition. "Everyone deserves opportunities to connect with themselves through their bodies in a way that feels beautiful, empowering, and compassionate."
In 1987, CJ moved from Maine to Hawaii and began a path in teaching and the healing arts. While working as a certified fitness instructor, CJ acquired her massage therapy licensing. Working with clients as an LMT, she discovered the power of combining imagery with focus on the body.
In 1992, it was Tai Chi that appealed to CJ's growing interest in movement, energy, imagery, and personal development. She went on to become the co-director of The Honolulu Tai Chi Academy and the co-founder of the Flow Motion System of Mind/Body Teacher Training. She has introduced people all over the United States to Tai Chi through PBS television, DVDs, ACE and AFAA teacher trainings and has presented for major fitness organization like IDEA, FACT, and ECA.
CJ later moved to Portland, Oregon and continued to teach Tai Chi. She married and is the mother of two young children.
"While parenting unveiled the importance of pursuing my passions and dreams, Reconnective Healing ® was the catalyst to realizing my longing for a more authentic expression in my work. As a result, I created Energy Moves, using my life's experiences to affirm the creative potential we all possess."
CJ's approachable nature appeals to many ages and groups. She is also a Reconnective Healing Practitioner ™.
