Her favorite form of art is dancing, for her it’s like letting your soul free to tell its story. Aisha grew up attending a perform arts school where she learned dance and drama. She often incorporates those arts forms into her therapy, and that’s what makes her so unique. Dance has always been apart of her and she sought to figure out how to incorporate her passion of helping others heal with her love of dancing. As she began researching she came across dancing mindfulness, the art of being mindful as you began to move and explore your space, a new way to release but up stress and tension trapped in your body. As a certified facilitator Aisha runs groups for individuals looking for a creative way to express there feelings in space place support by a licensed therapist.
