“When you connect with the body’s innate wisdom through organic movement, you touch your own inner value, beauty, and strength. That joy of living and freedom already exist within you—you simply need to listen, embody, and allow yourself to transform.”

Dance/Movement Therapy
Dance/Movement Therapy is a form of psychological therapy that uses nonverbal communication—especially symbolic movement—as a central means of connecting emotions, thoughts, and the inner self, supporting processes of self-healing, change, and holistic development.
VDMT is a pioneering social enterprise in Dance/Movement Therapy in Vietnam and a member of the American Dance Therapy Association.

She is a former Fulbright Program scholar, a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College (New York), and a member of the American Dance Therapy Association.
Minh pioneered the introduction of Dance/Movement Therapy in Vietnam, integrating art, psychology, and local cultural contexts to support community mental health. She works with diverse populations—including children, adolescents, women, couples, veterans, and patients—in hospitals, schools, and organizations in Vietnam and internationally. Using bodily movement as the primary therapeutic tool, Minh creates spaces where clients can reconnect with their bodies, regulate emotions, and rediscover inner strength.
