About
A private companion for a very public kind of listening.
Dance/movement psychotherapy asks the therapist to be, at once, a mirror and a doorway. It asks a lot. Still, Moving is a small pocket companion for the practice — a way to keep the body a live instrument between sessions.
The thesis this app grows from
Fickling, D. (2017). It's a Bird? No. It's a Plane! No, it's a Dance/Movement Therapist! — a study of DMT in pediatric palliative care that reframes the therapist through pioneer-informed superhero archetypes. Still, Moving translates that framework into daily practice.

A note on scope
This is a practice tool, not a clinical intervention. If something in the body asks for more than a practice can hold, please reach for a trained therapist.
