Dance Movement Therapy Simona is a private Dance Therapy or Dance Movement Therapy practitioner under the supervision of Medicine Association "ARS" (Medicīnas sabiedrība "ARS": https://web.archive.org/web/20101015022819/http://www.ars-med.lv/start.php?lang=en). She provides individual and group Dance Movement Therapy to children and adults. She uses movement to improve her clients' physical, emotional, cognitive and social capabilities. She uses this therapy to help her clients to ease emotional and physical stress, solve psychosomatic difficulties, garner life energy, obtain deep relaxation, develop creativity and feel the joy of body movement. Simona complements the individual Dance Movement Therapy with the Champi ("filling with energy" in Sanskrit) massage, which is a type of Ayurvedic massages rooted in India. The Champi massage is based on the natural health care system of Ayurveda, which incorporates massage, yoga, meditation and herbal remedies (herbalism). Instead of traditional using ways of yoga and meditation, she uses the Dance Movement Therapy, giving her clients a feeling of dynamic motion, and inner peace, and uses the Champi massage to give her clients a feeling of full relaxation, and external tranquility. She believes that the integration of these two therapies can have more wholesome therapeutic effect on her clients. During the Champi massage, her clients will usually be asked to sit down. Then she will first massage her clients' shoulders, then their hands, necks and head zones. These step-by-step movements of massage will pressure her client's energetic lines and points and are strictly regimented. She uses the aromatic essential oils of great value and finds every client specific oils matching her or his type. Since 20 April 2009 she is currently employed as an art therapy specialist (Dance Movement therapist) in a children hospital "Gailezers" and is working with children with psychiatric problems. She had two Dance Movement Therapy internships in Bristol, the United Kingdom in 2008, namely in a dance movement therapy center called "Dance Voice" (client groups: mental health problems, addiction recovery, learning difficulties, autistic children and individual clients) and in a special school for autistic children called "St.Cristopher’s School” (client groups: Individual clients with autistic spectrum disorders.
