  • Working with Lee helped me tap into deep layers of my body’s wisdom in a safe, supportive environment. Letting go of outer layers through movement, sound, breath, texture, color and memory, I developed an awareness of my fundamental and primal self. This experience has truly enhanced, complemented, and advanced my life’s journey.

    —Nani, Workshop Participant

  • Lee has a calm presence and immense well of patience that she shares in her classes and sessions. She provides a safe place for exploration and guides with a gentle hand and open heart. People of all experiences can learn from Lee, both from her wisdom about the human body, and from her genuine way of engaging with the world.

    —Johnny Blazes, Interdisciplinary Performance Artist

  • If you’re looking for a sensitive and attentive practitioner to facilitate an exploratory journey toward wellness, Lee Fogel is a wonderful fit. With an open and inviting presence, she utilizes her background in Somatics, as well as Reiki, to gently attune to the needs of her clients. I leave my sessions feeling empowered!

    —Rachel G, Dance Therapist
