Client Reviews

“Working with Madegan has transformed my dancing and day-to-day activities. She has a deep understanding of bodies, movement, and dance training. Dancers are already highly attuned to their physicality, but Madegan helped me discover a new awareness of how I use my body. Working with her has truly re-wired my movements and had an enormous impact on the way I approach my dancing and recovery process.”

— Maria Valencia-Alvarez, Principal Dancer with the Ithaca Ballet Company

Madegan is clearly very knowledgeable about the body and how it works, but it’s how she listens to her clients that makes the experience with her great. She hears where the pain or tension is in the body, explains what she thinks the cause is, and then uses her expertise to relieve it. I felt comfortable and empowered after a session with Madegan.

— Esme Howland, Student Success Coordinator at CBHS

Let me first say that I tell everyone Madegan is my doctor - Whether I have a serious injury or my body just feels off, Madegan is one of the first people I turn to. Her deep knowledge of the body as a holistic system, tied with her compassionate, thoughtful listening and good natured humor, make for a practitioner that I trust with my every concern. When I tore a muscle in my leg, Madegan spoke to me with the utmost respect, care, and expertise. Her hands-on body work and guided movements allowed me to move through recovery sooner, and her expertise helped me better understand my injury and provided peace of mind. Anyone looking to feel better in their body or find ease from pain would be lucky to work with Madegan.

—  Frankie Bliss, Ceramicist and Educator

Madegan taught me to connect my lower body to my upper body. Her touch skills are masterful. Working with Madegan means being in the presence of skilled, caring eyes and hands, who know how to guide you towards a healthier, more whole body.
