Holistic Dance & Arts have always been very much a part of my life. My studies originally started in psychology in native France, at Aix en Provence University. I later received a BA Hons Fine Art (Sculpture) from St Martin’s School of Art, London. It was during these years at Central St Martin's, that Dance became an integral part of studio practice and the vital link between Creativity, Dance, Healing and Spirituality was born.
Soon after graduation, training in contact and absent healing as a colour spiritual healer, was followed by some Bharatanayam, Shamanic Dance & Contact Improvisation. Later, training in dance was consolidated over a 3-year period, primarily with the British choreographer Gaby Agis, student of Joan Skinner, the founder of Skinner Releasing technique. I was fortunate to participate in a week of Skinner Releasing during one of Joan's visit to England. Alongside this preparation, I attended group therapy as part of a 3-year training in Group Facilitation. This was supplemented by a course that explored the vast arena of Dance and Psychotherapy.

My inspiration and strength is bestowed from the teachings of genuine Tibetan masters. Integrating meditation as a daily practice with family life and work, is my aim. Chantal delli Paoli-Knowles.
