Dance movement therapist Renelle Snelleksz’s life testimony is rooted in experiencing the power of the Holy Spirit to break oppressive trauma and bring healing and restoration to the lives of those she ministers to. All of life’s experiences, good or bad, are stored as memory in the body and impact the mental, physical, emotional and social well being of a person. Using the core principles of Dance movement therapy creates a safe space for people to address the core issues of life and relationships. But the intensity of deep pain in the human heart can only be restored by the power of Jesus to deliver us from bondage and propel us into freedom. Using movement and the expressive arts, this ministry has witnessed many lives transformed after child sexual abuse, abandonment and neglect, issues of identity, depression and mental health problems, suicidal thoughts, divorce and marital stress, domestic violence and addictions.
