Jonathan has consistently received world-class mentorship and training that allows his health practice to be relevant, accessible, and useful for people. He was introduced to Body Mind Centering® (BMC) principles through training with Mark Taylor (former program director for the US school) over a period of four years. Jonathan gained foundational skills to support movement development in babies, children, and adults.
Jonathan also participated in one of the first Rolf Mentorship certifications offered by the Rolf Institute® which included movement training based on the teachings of French Rolfer Hubert Godard. Jonathan first met and studied with Godard in 2007, prior to becoming a Rolfer in his own right.
Jonathan has been further influenced by long-term research with Candace Loubert (authentic movement), Caryn McHose (Somatic Experiencing), and Kevin McEvenue (Wholebody Focusing).
Music, voice, and movement have played an important role in Jonathan's life and work. Through on-going explorations over the years with creative luminaries such as Richard Armstrong, Jonathan Hart Makwaia, Maud Robarts, Jean-René Toussaint, and Albert St. Albert Smith, Jonathan has developed artistic sensibilities that allow him to accompany and support people finding their way home to their Health and deepening into this relationship.
In the movement world, he has been further inspired by study with Bonnie Bainbridge-Cohen, Alexandre del Perugia, Susan Harper, David Zambrano, and Judith Koltai. Jonathan completed a Level 1 Spacial Dyanamics training (IS-12) over five years with Jaimen McMillan in the US.
Versed in a diversity of perspectives from different lineages, Jonathan brings a wealth of experience and a multi-dimensional approach to alternative medicine and the complementary health field.
Jonathan has guided water and somatic movement therapy programs for more than a decade. Prior to this, he taught in the domains of physical and health, creative movement, and outdoor education all based on the principles of experiential learning.
Jonathan's health practice at Voie de la Santé is also inspired and informed from over a decade of supporting the movement potential of visually and neurologically impaired children in a rehabilitation and educational setting. His somatic approach explores the intrinsic joy, love, and health that we have as humans, no matter how sick or challenged we are.
