Anne began her career as a professional dancer and actress. She received her undergraduate degrees in Theatre Studies and Dance from Emerson College and her MFA in Acting from the University of California, Davis. As an educator her area of expertise is teaching Movement for Actors. She continues to teach those courses in higher education and private schools around the PA/MD/DC region.
Anne first transitioned into private practice when she enrolled at the Laban Institute of Movement Studies (LIMS) in NY, NY to become a Certified Movement Analyst (CMA). The Laban language is both a way of seeing clients more clearly, and a doorway through which to guide them in personal exploration and growth. She works with clients to achieve more movement efficiency, to break unhealthy patterns, and to create healthful body mechanics. The way an individual moves is the way they learn and function in the world. Anne’s specialty is exploring those patterns by integrating the LIMS work with exercises on the Pilates Reformer. Anne is a certified Pilates instructor through Balanced Body®.
Anne is a member of the American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP) and The International Somatic Movement Educators and Therapists Association (ISMETA). Last but not lease, Anne is married to (se)® Founder Douglas Bertram, and mother to their daughters Gwen and Andi Pearl.
