Thorpe, MA, ADTR, LMT, ABT Academic Director Co-Owner: Sky Lake Healing Arts, LLC & The Bodhi Tree Center for Healing Arts Discovering an interest in teaching as a teenager, Lee pursued academics in earnest. She received her Bachelor of Science in Dance Movement Therapy in 1985 from the University of Wisconsin, where she studied dance, psycho- physiology, and the natural sciences of anatomy, physiology and kinesiology. Furthering her studies, she attended Columbia College - Chicago, receiving her Master of Arts in Dance Movement Therapy in 1992. Since 1993, Lee has been designing and facilitating group movement and growth experiences at venues as varied as hospitals, universities and spiritual retreat centers. Lee’s unique blend of skills in clinical professional counseling, teaching, and creative movement arts serve to deepen the participant’s therapeutic process through exploration of the mind-body-spirit link. Lee worked in the Chicago area as a Dance Movement Therapist and facilities supervisor for 14 years, serving populations of all ages and varied psychological profiles, within highly diverse clinical settings. In addition, Lee brings to The Bodhi Tree Center for Healing Arts 5 years of administrative and supervisory experience that encompass activity programming, as well as training and in-service for professional, intern, and volunteer staff. In 2003, she relocated to Northern Nevada, where she and her husband, John, own and operate Sky Lake Healing Arts, LLC, a successful healing arts corporation. Having begun explorations into different forms of energy and wholistic healing while completing her Master’s degree, Lee completed 2 years of energy work training in 1991; graduating from the Institute of Spiritual Healing in Evanston, Illinois. While working with the body-in-movement as a psychotherapist, Lee’s sensitivities with touch were drawing her to pursue training in therapeutic bodywork. Her focus was in the study of Traditional Chinese Medicine via an Asian bodywork called Zen Shiatsu. To this end, Lee received her practioner’s certificate in 2003 from the Ohashi Institute in Evanston, Illinois. After moving to North Lake Tahoe, Lee became a licensed Massage Therapist in the state of Nevada and has a successful practice in massage and Zen Shiatsu.
