Moving Through
Depression
You're depressed.
Maybe a medical practitioner has told you this, or self-diagnosed (thank you, Dr. Google!).
You haven’t told many people — that’s not your style because you know everyone will brush it off and say “you’re so strong!” and “you’ll get through it!”
Because, well,you always do.
Except...this feels different.
Deep down, you know that you need help.
THIS TIME, YOU’RE NOT SURE YOU CAN JUST SHAKE IF OFF OR FIGURE IT OUT ON YOUR OWN.
"Moving Through Depression" is a dance/movement psychotherapy group for Black women living with depression.
In addition to having a safe space to process + move through your emotions, you'll:
Better understand depression and how it affects your body
Gain an understanding of the ways in which food affects our mood
Increase resources for coping with depressive episodes
Learn body-based tools to restore your natural blueprint of health
Be in community with others whose experience may validate your own and support your own recovery
I'm Jennifer Sterling, an emotional wellness coach with master's degrees n both dance/movement psychotherapy and holistic nutrition.
I help women living with depression understand what they need to feel vital— using food and movement.
And by vital I mean having a sense of what it means to feel well in any given moment.
In my 12+ years of education, research, and supporting more than 250 women I’ve learned that what we eat, how we move, and how we feel are intimately connected, and simple changes in in food, movement, and thought patterns can lead to significant shifts in your mental health. And I would like the opportunity share this with you.
With this information and a better understanding of your body, you'll have the tools you need to begin managing your depression as holistically as possible.
This is what I want for you.

Will this course cure my depression?
Got Questions?
Find the most common answers here.
Our reasons for developing depression are varied and deep, so I can't promise that you will feel cured in three months time.
What you will gain, however, is a perspective and understanding of depression that isn't often talked about. This understanding makes it more possible for you to use the resources provided to tap into your own, natural capacity for vitality and well-being.
Can I get a refund if I don’t like the program?
