Our History
Alejandra O. Hudon & Emma Shubin • Founders and directors of Integral Steps • Photograph provided by www.rebekahwest.com
In 2012, Integral Steps founders Alejandra Hudon and Emma Shubin met in Boulder’s Dushanbe teahouse. Both shared their experience and expertise of working with children and families. As a musician and Dalcroze Educator, Emma observed that her students had preferences for kinesthetic learning, cognitive discovery, and artistic expression, and wanted to gain more tools to support student development in all three of these areas. As a mental health practitioner, Alejandra worked in family therapy and infant massage, and wanted to develop everyday tools for her clients that included experiential, interactive, and more embodied learning.
Alejandra and Emma wanted to reach out to local communities by working with families. They embarked on a workshop series with Aurora Mental Health (Aurora, CO), designing workshops that combined Dalcroze classes for children with parents in attendance, collaborative art projects, and talk-back sessions for parents. This offered families a new way of interacting and growing from what they had observed.
Integral Steps was born, becoming a place of growth for individuals, families, and communities. Learn what we've been up to since then at Past Projects.

What are parents and students saying?
Miss Emma makes me feel like I can do anything." 
My son is generally extremely shy and anxious. When he first began attending Integral Steps classes, he wouldn’t leave my side or participate without me. He has gone from not speaking at all to generating and volunteering new ideas. He loves to practice and re-create activities from class at home!" |
Integral Steps gave my daughter new confidence in her own ability to learn new things through repetition and focus."
