Dunellen, NJ · Movement Coaching
Do you have a body? Do you ever move it — for literally any reason, whatsoever? Then this was built with you in mind.
Let's figure out what your body needs – together.
Movement Laboratory is a movement coaching studio rooted in one idea: your body is worth understanding.
We bring together exercise science and somatic practices, not to "optimize" you — but to actually get to know you: how you move, why you move, and what your body is trying to tell you when it does.
✦ New here? We've got just the thing ✦
Not sure where to start? Good news — that's exactly what the Discovery Session is for.
It's a 1-on-1 intro session where we'll deep-dive into how your body moves, how we can best support it, and what a personalized movement practice looks like for you.
No assumptions. No judgements. No one-size-fits-all. Just movement, information, and a coach who is always ready to nerd-out about how cool & capable your body is.
No catch, no commitment.

Intro Offer
For Movers who are just dropping in for some body maintenance work, or want to pay as they go.
A build-your-own package built around you & your life — for Movers who want to build a consistent movement practice, are ready to commit to the process, and want a flexible program designed entirely around them.
A build-your-own offer for deeper investigations & longer journeys — for Movers who want something more intensive and are ready for a longer, deeper commitment.
Curious about which option is right for you? Your Discovery Session is the perfect place to figure that out.
Throughout class, you'll engage with various movement prompts & games designed to encourage play-like responses that challenge your creativity & deepen your relationship to movement. This is a guided class for you to experience as an autonomous mover. The instructor will provide a brief warm-up to ensure all bodies are prepared for movement, then shift to offering invitations & soft direction for you to explore & engage with independently or as a group.
Using body-weight exercises that are informed by dance & somatic practices, this class explores the muscular engagement that translates strength into fluid movements. Open to movers of all levels. Modifications available as needed.
Class begins with a warm-up designed to engage & prepare your body, your brain, and your musicality. As we move into our phrasework, we'll give time & space to learning, embodying, and playing with the movement. Phrases are invitations, rather than directions — don't be afraid to let whatever else informs your movement shine through! This class is primarily catered to experienced movers (particularly dancers), but is open to anyone feeling called to join!

Movement has been at the center of my world & my fascination for as long as I can remember. Some may call it a life-long hyper-fixation. I call it that too, but I also just call it passion.
At 3 years old, I was demanding to be put in dance classes. By 6, I was doing it competitively. Later, I went to a performing arts high school for dance. By junior year, I was enrolling in evening classes at my local community college to learn any & everything I could about how we move. I went on to earn a B.F.A. in Dance and a B.S. in Exercise Science from SUNY Brockport — a.k.a. I found a way to make "obsessing over human movement" into a legitimate academic pathway, and now, into a career (although, I just refer to is as my life's purpose).
With my unending fascination, insatiable curiosity, and life-long passion, I continue to seek out gems of knowledge and experience to add to my collection wherever I can. I am always eager to share my knowledge with whoever will let me.
Movement Laboratory has been my way of building the space I always wished existed — and sharing everything I've collected along the way with every Mover who walks through the door.
My mission is to support as many Movers as I can on their movement journeys – regardless of background, experience level, goals, restrictions, or anything else.
Movement is an inherent part of the human experience (you're literally moving right now, scrolling through this page). If you have a body, you ARE a Mover.
Wear whatever you feel most comfortable & confident moving in! Avoid anything that restricts your movement, is uncomfortable, or could otherwise distract or detract from your experience.

If you've missed 25% of your reserved time without notice, your Mvmt Coach will reach out to confirm whether they can accommodate a full or abbreviated session, or if you'll need to reschedule. Rescheduled sessions in this case will be treated as late cancellations.
