Personal Sessions are available in-person - or by Zoom!

• You love to learn new stuff, and apply what you learn. What we will do together is all about learning, and being curious, and creating new options with what you learn. 
• You love to move and be active and have fun.  Me too!  I can relate, and we will focus on how to create "more of THAT."
• You are intrigued by the idea of gently exploring novel, non-habitual MOVEMENT as an effective way to open up new choices for your own self, for how you move and hold yourself and do things in the world.
• Something is holding you back (e.g. pain, tightness, etc.) - and you want some help to figure out what that is, and what you can do about it.
• You have tried lots of things but you can't seem to create a change that feels good, works well for you - and  lasts.  We will work with the intelligence of your own body, to create more movement freedom and ease - in ways that suit you.
• You are stuck in a tightness, injury or posture pattern that may be rooted in trauma that is stuck in your body, and you are not sure how to get unstuck. 
• You are looking for someone who sees, and speaks to, ALL of you - body, mind, heart and soul. You long to be seen -  the real YOU, on the inside.  Without needing to put on a front. I see you in that way, and I am happy to have you show up As You Truly Are, in that day and that moment. 
• You like learning with someone who explains things well, and is straight-up in what they say.  I aim to explain things in practical ways that make sense, and I will be straightforward and honest with you - in gentle ways. 
• You want to move better because --- the things you love to do are calling you, and you want to engage in life fully with more Freedom, Ease, Strength - and JOY!  YES!!  :-) 

• You need or want a medical diagnosis, or medical care and treatment.  The work I do can have therapeutic benefits, but it is not - and is not a replacement for - medical diagnosis, care and treatment.
• You are looking for treatment sessions that will "fix" a problem for you, without asking anything further of you.  Feldenkrais sessions are all about learning. You will be an active agent in what we do together, rather than me "working on you".
• You are looking for counseling therapy. We will be working with Movement.  We will explore how you do what you do - which may include what might be keeping you stuck - as a way to build a good, safe-feeling foundation that then opens your capacity to learn. 
• You hold the firm belief that "this is just the way I am.  I'm too old/hurt/etc. to change".  Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais noted that "Nothing is permanent about our behavior patterns, except our belief that they are so."  :-)

• My personal sessions cost $105.00 CAD.
• I offer in-person sessions in Deep Bay, on Vancouver Island.  
• I offer Zoom sessions for those who are not able to come for in-person sessions (e.g. due to living too far away.)
• My sessions are about an hour long.  Wear comfortable clothes you can move freely in.  Bring your curiosity and willingness to explore what is possible - for you. :-) 

Listen to the intelligence of your own body, to guide what suits you. 

Feldenkrais sessions are all about learning.  And learning only happens well, when you feel safe.  We will tap into what Dr. Stephen Porges (the Polyvagal Theory guy) calls "The Transformative Power of Feeling Safe."

Your bones are built to support weight, and transfer force.  What muscles do best is:  line up the bones.  When muscles try to do what bones can do better, muscles get tired, sore, and cranky.  So - let's check - could your bones do more, and does that make your muscles happier?

If a place within you feels like it is doing too much - it probably is!  We will explore how to spread out the work over long pathways through your body, so that each place does its fair share and no place does "too much".   Ahhhhhhh yes - THAT feels better!

As you explore, you will be invited to notice:  is this different from what you did before?  Does it feel safe?  Do you like it? Does it work, at least as well as (or perhaps even better than) what you did before?  Bringing awareness to what you notice helps to "make it real", and helps new experiences to land and settle in much better and faster.

Humans learn, and change.  This learning and change can happen at any age!  In the Feldenkrais sessions and classes, we focus on MOVEMENT as the doorway to discovery. So that you can Open Your World to more freedom and choice, more ease, more strength, more FUN.  Yes!!
