Desiree Burgdorfer

Desiree is a former K-12 public school teacher and corporate recruiter turned full time homeschool mom and entrepreneur. She is a lifelong dramatist, performer, writer, and mental health advocate, crediting both traditional and contemporary forms of healing to managing her own struggles with childhood trauma and mental illness. Having taught acting to people of all ages, she has an evolving interest in the intersection of social emotional learning, psychology, and personal development in her work. Her methods draw on influences from playback theater, psychodrama, yoga, dance, and her educator workshop training at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Los Angeles. She believes that by using the power of the body, voice, and imagination, we can engage in new modalities of self expression and personal discovery. Her work seeks to explore how human connection through story is one of the most powerful ways we can engage with one another and heal. Desiree lives with her husband and two young daughters in the North Eastern United States.
