Feldenkrais Method® 1:1
Using the core principles of Moshe Feldenkrais, I will work with you step-by-step to help you unlock your movement potential.
Our sessions are designed to help you learn to slow down, listen, and discover unconscious patterns in a safe space. Through functional movement, you will begin to self-organize and bring ease to all areas of your life.
Less is more here, and there is no right or wrong.
You are empowered to move in your own way, and at the pace that feels best for you. Our focus is not on what we do, but on how we do it.
Whether you are in chronic pain or simply hope to improve efficiency, I will help point you toward your highest potential.

Experiences discomfort as a result of injury, structural character, or postural tendency.
Wants to troubleshoot functional concerns, expedite recovery, or re-pattern habitual movement.

This depends on how much you would like to learn. The method continues to unfold as you go along, and the possibilities are endless. That being said, the process is slow and subtle, and it might take you a few hours with me to absorb the language.
Plan on taking around six Awareness Through Movement® lessons, or three Functional Integration® lessons, to get a feel for how the method works. Within this time, you will gather information and gain a clear understanding of your personal goals. This often means you have already begun to feel better.

You do not need any prior exposure to Feldenkrais before we begin our work together. However, it can be beneficial to read a bit about the method and see if it appeals to your way of learning.
Please refer to my RESOURCES page for articles on the Feldenkrais Method®. Another great way to start is to sit in on one of my public classes. -
A commitment to learning about yourself is all you need to gain the benefits of the Feldenkrais Method®. If you are curious and want to change how you move, think, feel and sense yourself in the world, then this is the right approach for you.

Awareness Through Movement® lessons are classes that are held in an informal group setting at a low cost. The community is made up of people from all walks of life that enjoy learning with others. Functional Integration® lessons are designed for individual needs and concerns, for those who desire accelerated learning, or for those who prefer a private setting for learning. You may attend just classes, or have only private lessons, or do a combination of both. I am happy to speak with you, if you are still unsure as to what might be the right fit for you.

Once you sign up for class, you will receive a Zoom link and information on how to join class. Please have a space to lie down (preferably a firm surface, with a thin blanket). Wear loose fitting clothing that will enable freedom of movement. Feel free to have your camera on or off.
