Ann Todhunter Brode
Body therapist and author helping people listen to and understand the body.
“Body Wise” columnist for the Montecito Journal: www.montecitojournal.net
Ann is a body-oriented therapist and recognized master in her field. She began her career as a motor-perceptual therapist working with young children before moving on to train with movement and bodywork pioneer Judith Aston. For the past fifty years, Ann has worked with individuals and groups –facilitating healing and teaching viable life skills. This has led her to a deep respect for body’s innate wisdom and its connection to the fullness of being alive.
Over time, Ann developed a personable, down-to-earth approach to help people discover the body’s intelligence and bring it into everyday living. A desire to help even more people inspired her first book A Guide to Body Wisdom: What Your Mind Needs to Know About Your Body (Llewellyn Worldwide, 2018). She is currently working the sequel, Body Wisdom for Kids–part of a series that will include books focused on aging, working, and healing. Her writing can also be found in The Montecito Journal https://www.montecitojournal.net/tag/body-wise/and on her blog https://www.anntodhunterbrode.com/blog .
