Natasha Goldstein-Levitas Headshot

I am a Philadelphia, PA based Aging, Dementia, Care Partner, and Community Wellness Specialist, and Board Certified Dance/Movement Therapist with over twenty-four years of clinical experience, in multiple healthcare and community-based settings and organizations, and in various capacities. I am also a Program Leader and Educator with several years of experience in both healthcare administration and higher education roles. I am well connected in the aging, wellness, and creative arts communities-at-large. I have many transferable skills, and a strong ability to problem-solve and to adapt in the moment. I lead from my heart and I am inspired by meaningful human exchange.

I continue to look for opportunities to connect and engage, using a relational and collaborative approach. I am eager to share creative strategies and resources that may improve overall quality of life and health outcomes for diverse communities and care teams. I offer and support innovative care practices that are evidence- and strength-based, universal, inclusive, cost-effective, and accessible. Quite simply, I am committed to promoting community wellness and overall quality of living for all.

My Approach

A deeper human connection.
SenseAble engagement.

Therapeutic movement experiences, creative suggestions for support and empowerment, and therapeutic, evidence-based recommendations to help communities, individuals, and their care partners navigate life changes and move towards wellness.
