I’m Tal Cohen, a movement and arts therapist in Herzliya. In personal guidance I combine movement, dance, theatre and creative expression, to make room for your feelings, self-expression and personal process.
Dance and movement therapy works through the body, alongside words. Each session is shaped by the person in front of me and by what comes up that day. I listen and walk with you toward personal change and your own voice.
Sessions are for stage, performance and screen artists, and for women who want to work through the expressive arts.
For years I searched for my place in the world of culture and art.
After a decade as a therapist and as a therapist in expression and creation and as a creator on stage, after working with all types of populations: boys and girls, stage artists, those with disabilities and special needs, eating disorders, women and men of all ages – in movement, dance, theater and singing – and I also brought the healing to the stage – I understood My uniqueness in the combination between healing and change and the world of performing arts!
I am mainly Amit’s partner, mother to Ariel and Ofir and partner in raising Or and Yaheli – Amit’s children from his previous marriage.
Few filmmakers express their pain as openly as the theater creator and emotional therapist did: “I describe a journey of rebirth.”
