Why Feldenkrais

​​​​​​​​

I’ve spent years observing how people hold their histories in their bodies.

​

My work as a massage therapist, yoga teacher, performer,

intimacy choreographer, voice instructor, and mother have taught me two things:

 

1.) Pain, tension and limitation are rarely simple—they are a culmination

of movement patterns, memories, beliefs, and the ways we protect ourselves.

​​​

2.) Telling someone to do something differently doesn't make them do it differently.

Our nervous systems are intelligent learners, and deserve to be treated that way.

​

 

Why Movement

​

Movement was our first real language—

so when it comes to helping people access the changes they seek,

I start by attending to the way they move.

​

We are all taught, from a very young age, to not feel—

on multiple levels and for multiple reasons.

Years of negotiating relationships and activities without all of that rich sensory data

often leads to chronic pain, anxiety or a general feeling that something is 'off'.

​​

The Feldenkrais Method® of somatic education lets us work with

our own nervous system in a way that honors it—

not by fixing or forcing, but by expanding awareness.

 

​The idea is that when we understand how we move, we can move differently.
And when we move differently, the ripple effects reach far and wide.​
