Authentic Movement/Internal Family Systems:
AM/IFS offers a somatic integration of the Internal Family Systems model with the practice of Authentic Movement. Witnessing is central to the healing process with both of these modalities. The compassionate witnessing by another with Authentic Movement, enables the mover’s inner witness to emerge and feel the validation needed for Self Energy and Self Compassion to emerge.
Meet Marilyn
Marilyn Unger-Riepe is a psychotherapist and dance therapist who combines her decades of clinical experience to offer her transformative Authentic Movement and IFS workshops.
Internal Family Systems
Internal Family Systems, founded by Richard Schwartz, presents a paradigm shift in ways of thinking about personality. IFS therapy facilitates connecting our parts to the healing essence of inside of all of us.
Authentic Movement
Authentic Movement in a moving meditation; each participant has the opportunity to discover the Self energy inherent in being both mover and witness, to see and be seen.
We mourn the passing of Janet Adler 1941-2023, founder of the discipline of Authentic Movement, who inspired our work in this field. Read her tribute here.

Marilyn, let me be clear: these workshops - and I’ve only done three - have changed my relationship with myself, with my loved ones, and with my clients. Your ability to blend modalities into such a powerful and compassionate exploration and mirroring experience, is staggering. Thank you for your huge part in my own healing, and in so many other people’s, and for all the ways that it’s rippled outward and will continue to do so even further
