Certified movement coach Alice Capper-Starr founded CEL Movement in July 2026.  Her Essential Movement classes use therapeutic movement sequences to help relax the body, refresh the senses and expand the natural movement range.  

​

Throughout her 35+ year career Alice has worked as a trainer in dance, circus and martial arts.  Early diploma studies included pedagogy for teaching movement, Laban movement analysis, anatomy, kinesiology and specific technique disciplines at the NZ School of Dance. Her special interest in neutral movement led her to incorporate elements of movement therapy (Feldenkrais, Bartenieff, Pilates, Yoga and breathwork) into her teaching practices throughout her career.  Following some time exploring other pathways, Alice is now returning to movement coaching to share her deepened understanding about healing movement patterns and how these affect fascia release and nervous system rebalancing.
