PRIVATE SESSIONS
FELDENKRAIS METHOD®
Feldenkrais® private sessions are a hybrid of Awareness Through Movement® and Functional Integration® explored virtually.
In Awareness Through Movement® classes you will experience slow, mindful movements to achieve powerful effects in terms of strength, flexibility, and holistic integration of body and mind. Unique to the Feldenkrais Method® of somatic education is that these lessons tie directly into functional movements of daily life, such as walking efficiently, safely lifting objects, and improving one’s posture in sitting or standing.
In Functional Integration®, I guide the client in movement lessons using gentle, non—invasive touch as the primary means of communication. My touch reflects to the individual how they currently organize their body and actions. They suggest, through gentle touch and movement, expanded possibilities for new movement patterns which are more comfortable, efficient, and useful.

FUNCTIONAL
INTEGRATION®
BODYWORK
Functional Integration® lessons are flexible in their approach, determined by a persons needs. You may lie comfortably on a table designed specifically for the work, or do some of the lesson sitting or standing. As needed, I may also use various props to support your comfort, to make certain movements easier, or to clarify a movement.
Each Functional Integration® lesson relates to a desire, intention, or need of the individual. The learning process is carried out without the use of any invasive or forceful procedure. Through rapport and respect for your abilities, qualities, and integrity. A session is tailored to an environment in which the individual can learn in safety and comfort. The lesson is developed, specifically for you, custom-tailored to the unique circumstances of that particular person, at that particular moment. Thus, a person learns how to reorganize their actions in new and more effective ways through the experience of comfort, enjoyment, and ease of movement.
