Code of Ethics
The Movement Story is committed to providing a safe, compassionate, and ethically grounded container for our clients.
Our practice is rooted in respect for client autonomy and professional excellence.

DTAA is the peak professional body representing dance movement therapy in Australia, New Zealand, and the Asia-Pacific region.
Clinical Supervision: To maintain high standards of care, safety, and ethical practice, all Dance Movement Therapy activities are supported by regular professional clinical supervision.
Safety & Boundaries: We honour your physical, emotional, and sensory boundaries at all times. Every invitation to move or explore physical awareness is purely optional, non-judgmental, and guided at your own pace.
Inclusivity & Neurodiversity: We celebrate diverse communication styles, unique nervous systems, and all life stages (including Special Educational Needs). Our space is designed to adapt flexibly to your unique body, expression, and developmental needs.
Non-Judgemental & Confidential Container: We maintain professional boundaries, ensuring a secure and confidential environment where personal expression is met with unconditional positive regard.
