Working with Dominique he saw his life and relationships transform in ways he could never have imagined. After over a decade of studying, Scott took the next natural step and began teaching. Scott’s passion for this work of using the body and movement to gather insight into the myriad complexities of the human condition, allowed him to discover and expand his relationship to the earth, others and himself. Using these principles he is able to access the humanity we each hold. Acting as a compassionate guide, he leads women and men of all ages and backgrounds to find a deeper connection to their own lives, to others, and to the world around them. His groundbreaking work has been featured in Vogue and the LA Times. The inclusive power of Scott’s work welcomes people from all diverse walks of life. From A list celebrities to teachers and CEOs, Scott works with individuals, couples, groups and companies worldwide.

Rebecca Zung, Esq. and Susan Guthrie, Esq. on the topic of unmarried fathers’ parental rights and other paternity issues. Over 40% of children today are born to unmarried mothers and almost 85% of cohabitation relationships end before five years so the issue of paternity and parental rights among unmarried parents is timely and increasingly important for people to understand. Rebecca and Susan explain the current state of the law regarding unmarried fathers’ rights to custody and parenting time of their children and the facts may SHOCK YOU! The money side of things is just as important. What financial obligations do unmarried parents have? Is child support affected by the marital status of the parents? These important considerations are also reviewed to provide listeners with critical information to protect themselves and their children. Rebecca and Susan explain the law and give some real-life examples from their cases over the years to help explain what unmarried fathers must do to protect their rights and why child support is also a key factor for unmarried parents.
