It's not therapy... but it's incredibly therapeutic.
If you're being challenged — in a relationship, a career, or in your own head — we're excited to help. Applied or "process" improvisation is an incredible tool that we use achieve personal breakthroughs, often in surprisingly powerful ways. It's the set of tools we use to identify your hidden blocks and then build the social, psychological, and physical skills you need to move past them.
"David's sessions are revelatory and super fun. I'm confident that the training will benefit me professionally and personally." — Hope Delcarlo, Corporate/Attorney, Elemental Law
Our work is experienced and felt, so we get on our feet and into our bodies. That allows us to anchor the breakthroughs into your body as well as into your psychology. Whether you're navigating a big transition, trying to break an old pattern, or just ready to become who you're actually capable of: this is where it happens.
