What is Qoya Inspired Movement, how is it used in Embodied Voice Care Sessions?
Qoya Inspired Movement is based on the simple idea that through movement we remember. We remember that our essence is wise, wild and free. Through movement we explore the language of the body through noticing sensation. There are no levels, there’s no way to do it wrong. A full class is 75-90 min and follows a structure that includes community connection, ritual, guided and free movement forms, along with an invitation to dance your relationship with a theme.

Martha offers full classes (in person and online) along with shorter sessions where she weaves in her voice care wisdom with movement. We explore multiple forms of expression, focusing less on how the movement looks and the voice sounds and more on how it feels. Through movement, we reconnect with our body, heart and voice.

General FAQs
What is your cancellation policy?
Your appointment time is reserved for you/your child. A late cancellation or missed visit leaves a hole in the therapists’ day that could have been filled by another client.. As such, we require 24 hours notice for any cancellations or changes to your appointment. Patients who provide less than 24 hours notice, or miss their appointment, will be charged 50% of the full rate for that session. If you cannot attend your in person or video session due to COVID-19 related issues and find yourself unexpectedly within the 24 hours’ cancellation policy, or you need any help at all, don’t hesitate to contact me.
