About

Movement in Depth is a blog highlighting the Discipline of Authentic Movement as practiced and offered by Lisa Fladager in the US Pacific Northwest.

Lisa offers individual work, groups, supervision, and solo retreats in the Discipline of Authentic Movement.

She was introduced to Authentic Movement in her dance therapy graduate program in 1982. She began studying and practicing in earnest following a synchronistic event in 1994. Her primary teacher from 2000 to 2016 was Janet Adler, with whom she studied in groups and solo retreats during that time, and from whom she received a blessing to teach the Discipline. She also studied under Tina Stromsted, Joan Chodorow, and Neala Haze at the Authentic Movement Institute in Berkeley during the mid-1990s.  She holds a PhD in Depth Psychology/Psychotherapy from Pacifica Graduate Institute, a Masters in Creative Arts Therapy with a specialization in Dance/Movement Therapy from Hahnemann/Drexel University, is a Certified Movement Analyst through the Laban Institute of Movement Studies NYC, and is a Board Certified Dance’Movement Therapist with the American Dance Therapy Association.
