Participating in Metaphors of Movement Training Levels 1 & 2 with Dale was an incredible experience. From the very beginning, Dale created a welcoming, supportive environment that made learning both enjoyable and meaningful. His passion for helping others grow is evident in everything he does. The Metaphors of Movement approach is unlike anything I’ve experienced before. It provides a completely different way of looking at life’s experiences—not just the challenges, but also the transitions, successes, and moments that shape who we are. Through movement and imagery, you’re invited to look forward, look back, and look all around, discovering perspectives you may never have considered before. The one-on-one time with Dale was especially impactful. He has a unique ability to gently guide you through your own journey, allowing you to uncover insights without feeling judged or pressured. Personally, the process helped me recognize where I had been, understand where I was in my life, acknowledge what was surrounding me, and begin moving toward where I truly wanted to be. Throughout my life, I have personally experienced all four forms of abuse. Those experiences shaped how I viewed myself and the world around me for many years. What I appreciated most about this training was that it didn’t ask me to relive my past—it invited me to see it from a different perspective. Through movement and metaphor, I was able to observe my experiences without fear, recognize how far I have come, and appreciate the strength and growth that emerged from them. Instead of feeling defined by my past, I was able to see the resilience, healing, and person I have become because I chose to continue moving forward. Growth isn’t always comfortable. None of us truly enjoys looking at the difficult parts of ourselves or our lives. Yet, this training provides a safe, compassionate space to do exactly that. What may initially feel challenging becomes an opportunity for healing, self-awareness, and transformation. Looking at my experiences from a new perspective helped me move beyond them rather than remain stuck within them. As someone who works in trauma-informed mind-body wellness, I found this training to be a powerful complement to the work I already do. It reinforced the importance of perspective, embodied awareness, and meeting people exactly where they are in their healing journey. Whether you’re looking to grow personally or you’re a professional wanting to add a powerful, experiential tool to your work, I wholeheartedly recommend Metaphors of Movement Training with Dale. Dale’s compassion, wisdom, and ability to create a safe learning environment make this experience truly exceptional. It is more than a training—it is an opportunity to better understand yourself, gain new perspectives, and discover that growth is always possible, no matter where your journey began.
