Caregiver Support
Support and Connection
At Moondog Moves, I offer support for caregivers through therapeutic dance, helping you connect with your loved who may be facing challenges like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s. My online course and private sessions provide practical ways to introduce levity and joy into your daily caregiving routine, fostering well-being for both of you. Whether you’re supporting someone with Dementia or other challenges, I’m here with compassionate guidance. For groups interested in starting a therapeutic dance class for loved ones, I also offer tailored group sessions to build community and connection.

“More than a movement class; it’s a morale booster with a beat."

“Michelle recently led multiple sessions for caregivers through the USC Family Caregiver Support Center. She brought joy, levity, and connection to a group of participants often weighed down by the emotional and physical demands of caregiving.”
Paolina, Head of Community Engagement, USC Family Caregiver Support Center
“Michelle would often play my wife’s favorite music. My wife’s mood would be lifted, she would wake from the fears in her mind, and experience joy. I would dance with my wife. It would provide beautiful moments of normalcy that had all but disappeared. The laughter, joy, and connection that those moments brought into our lives are priceless. Michelle brings compassion and love to everyone she connects with.”
