| Who will benefit
from the Feldenkrais® Method?
"By
seeing all functioning as a manifestation of the nervous
system,
the Feldenkrais® Method
has universal applicability." ~
Moshe Feldenkrais
Young or old, physically challenged or physically fit-whoever
wants to learn will benefit from this method. Feldenkrais® Method is a learning experience, not a therapy.
Most people I have taught have chronic ailments
and reoccurring injuries of the back, neck, shoulders, hips,
legs or knees.
People who wish to enhance their awareness of self-image,
structure
and function,will improve Sensory awareness which increases
sensation of configuration and expression in the structure.
Successes also include neurological disorders such as multiple
sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and stroke. Musicians, conductors,
actors, and other artists fine-tune their creative juices.
Seniors enjoy regaining ability to move with less strain
or discomfort.
Greater
ease and a sense vitality is restored through either method,
Awareness Through Movement® and Functional
Integration®.

Testimonials
“I went to you merely
for “therapy” on a chronic wrist injury (which
became pain-free in 2 sessions) but ended up gaining ?an
actual body awareness that serves me still each day…”
~
Ray Evans, Advertising Manager
“
I can’t believe how much more access I have to my body.
People think what they have is what they have.”
~
David Florimbi, Artist
“After
attending your three hour Feldenkrais workshop last Autumn
I noticed an almost immediate improvement
in my ability to
move better. In fact I noticed that the stress of business
that had made me very tense and bound up was transformed
into a wonderful sense of relaxed, fluid athleticism restored.”
~ Jonathan Gaines, President, Kohala Natural Healing Arts,
Inc.
“You
gave me my life back physically, which I will be eternally
grateful.”
~ Bevan Branham
, Business Man

of therapies and body work and Feldenkrais® Method has
been the missing link, a transforming and empowering experience.”

“Feldenkrais
ATM lessons (and private sessions) have helped me immensely
with my balance. As a
beginner surfer, I am able to
stand up longer on my board and to steer better. Also,
after a long day of work on my feet, I am no longer sore
and achy
(as I used to be) in my feet and calves.”
~
Susan Brokaw , LMT
"After
the last session, my back felt stronger than it had ever
before."
~ Alan Axelrod ,
