About Gail
40 years of Experience
Gail Edgerly
After 4 decades of gathering and developing various skills, while seeking and experiencing my own healing, it is a thrill to integrate the connections and wisdom that each teaching offers.
Trager® Practitioner
My journey began as a nurse. I wanted to be of service. I loved anatomy and physiology. I needed a direction I could count on for employment. And I was dealing with chronic pain. Eventually, I realized that my favorite parts of nursing were the patient relationships and working with my hands. Which led me to the Trager® Approach to Movement, a hands-on modality that brought ease and pain relief to those suffering from issues related to chronic pain and immobility. It was my introduction to the power of touch, and the healing of movement.
Student and teacher of 5Rhythms®
Then I discovered the 5Rhythms®. The permission and freedom to express myself with my body in motion to music that reached my soul was exhilarating and deeply healing. It became my passion, and my community. I started the practice in 1995 and completed the teacher training with Gabrielle Roth in 2005. I taught classes in Maine and New Hampshire. And then Alaska. Due to an injury, I had to stop dancing and teaching in 2012, not knowing if I could ever return.
Practitioner of Energy Healing
In 2016, after leaving Alaska and travelling, I ended up unexpectedly in Vermont. I continued with my Trager practice and began to study Energy Healing- fascinated by the invisible yet powerful movement of energy in our astral and etheric bodies, and how this energy flow directly impacts the quality of every aspect of our life, and who we truly are.
Today
Thanks to the innate capacity to heal, skilled practitioners, and mentors, I was able to return to dancing and teaching in 2023. Currently I am teaching 5Rhythms in Vermont, deeply appreciating how Trager, Energy Healing and 5Rhythms are related, connected, and inform and enrich the other.
Ready to step toward what is possible in your life?
My interest as a Trager and Energy Healing practitioner is to meet you right where you are now and support your journey moving toward what you want next in your life. Trager and Energy Healing are both a wonderful adjunct to any other therapeutic modality. The skills I teach support the session work we do together to expand your own capacity to heal, shift, evolve grow. My exploration and skills as a practitioner continue to evolve and inform my teaching of the 5Rhythms® Movement Practice. All three modalities support your journey toward your authentic expression and experience of who you truly are.
Moving True
Whether you receive a Trager, or Energy Healing, or an integration of the two, or explore your self-expression moving though the 5Rhythms map, you will feel more embodied, connected, and have tools to keep Moving True toward YOU!

I am so glad that I have the opportunity to work with Gail. I loved seeing her in person for energy work, and although I wasn't sure if I wanted to do remote sessions with her at first, after trying one remote session I realized it was just what I had been missing. Gail is one of the best listeners I have ever met. She helps me to navigate choppy waters with ease and perspective. I love that I benefit both from the sessions themselves and also the "homework" she gives me. She has helped me to build tools that I can utilize when I feel off-balance. If you are looking for more balance and ease in your life and are interested in working with someone who is truly kind and caring and also down-to-earth, I would highly recommend working with Gail!” - WE, professor
