Express Yourself Authentically in Life & Onstage
I help people discover their most authentic selves through improv-based movement and healing
Feeling stuck
in your cocoon?
Tired of not knowing what your emotions are trying to tell you (or how to express them to others)?
Stuck in a creative rut? Can’t seem to find your voice?
Craving a compassionate space where you can process, heal (and maybe even laugh a little?)
Looking for a creative approach to personal growth that brings out your playful side?
Break Free with Laughter, Joy & a Whole Lotta Weirdness
Feeling emotionally stuck sucks big time. It's like you're all knotted up in a cocoon with no escape hatch. You're longing to soar, to bust out and spread your wings, but every attempt just leaves you feeling more tangled up. Tried talk therapy? Been there, done that, got the boring t-shirt.
Well, hello, rebellious soul! I'm Marcia, your guide on this weird and wildly entertaining journey to break free. Welcome to BodyMind Improv, where healing meets playfulness. Here we tell stories and laugh and dance our way to getting you back in touch with you. And we do it all in a space that's as loving and supportive as a grandma's hug.
Ready to wave goodbye to the lonely cocoon and say hello to your badass butterfly self? Let's do this thing!
“Yesss all y'all go to Marcia's class on Wednesdays! Perfect mix of movement, silliness, vulnerability, and connection. Plus if you tell her to hold you like a baby for a group selfie she'll happily oblige.” -Jillian

Offerings
Drama Therapy
Get ready to explore your depths with Developmental Transformations (DvT). We blend spirited movement with imaginative insights for a unique drama therapy experience. Centered on genuine connection and embodied healing, DvT offers a playful yet profound path to personal transformation.
-
During a DvT session, participants engage in improvisational, embodied, and playful encounters. The experience is deeply rooted in existential psychology, trauma-centered psychotherapy, and somatic sensing. Through imaginative movement and human encounters, the session becomes a space of humor, touch, and profound connection.
-
DvT is not just for therapists or healers; it's for anyone yearning for change. The process aids in releasing old patterns that hold you back, grounding you in the present moment. Through DvT, you'll uncover and embrace emerging ideas, impulses, and desires that have been waiting to surface, empowering your journey of self-discovery and healing.
-
Drama Therapy is $75-$125 per session, depending on session length.
Improv Classes
Step into a realm where playfulness meets profound insight. Here, improv isn't just an act—it's a journey of self-discovery. With a blend of body, mind, and raw emotion, we dance on the edge of unpredictability, crafting moments that are as ancestral as they are fresh.
-
Oh, it's a wild ride! We kick things off by diving deep into that body-mind jazz, embracing spontaneity, and letting our impulses take the wheel. It's all about real emotions, big laughs, and making sure everyone brings their full selves to the party. Through games and exercises, we explore movement, voice, and emotions in an electric fusion of fun!
-
Think of improv as self-care with a spicy twist. It's laughter, connection, community, and a dose of "hell yeah!" all rolled into one. As we groove with the wisdom of our bodies and the present moment, you'll unearth connections and insights you didn't know you had. Prepare to feel invigorated, open, and hella inspired.
-
Most classes are offered on a sliding scale between $15-$30 per class.
“Thank you so much - I had been thinking about trying an improv class for years, and I am sooo glad I finally tried it. It was an absolute blast. I love how you incorporated your philosophy of improv as therapy.” -Jen T
Meet Your Playful Healing Companion
Hey there, fellow playful soul! I'm Marcia, your wild, weird Tía in the world of healing through drama therapy. Ever felt trapped in a never-ending loop of anxiety and turmoil? Yeah, me too. I used to hide behind silly jokes, but now those jokes are all about pleasure, not pain.
Growing up, I wanted to be a teacher, an actress, and a stand-up comic all rolled into one. But anxiety had other plans. It wasn't until I stumbled into theater, comedy improv, and drama therapy that I found my way to heal and move forward. Oh, and I worked in community mental health for a while too, but that stress nearly knocked me flat.
You see, my life's mission is to facilitate healing through play and theater. I'm all about bending and breaking societal rules in the playspace, and helping others find their way to self-awareness and transformation. I believe that healing oneself is a step towards world peace, and I'm passionate about sharing this with others, especially women of color.
I value authenticity, vulnerability, peace, healing, and transformation. I see theater as a means to explore worlds that are different, and it's my job to bring those worlds to life on stage and truthfully tell their story.
Ready to get rebellious (courageous?) with your healing and break free from that cocoon? Join me in this journey, and we'll laugh, play, and heal together. Come on, let's create a space where you can finally spread those wings!
“Marcia was warm, sensitive, caring, and respectful. Her presence and willingness to be vulnerable herself made her a light to follow as we endeavored to be more authentic and playful.” -Alexis
