Initially focused on the conservative rehabilitation in the neurological, orthopedic and geriatric field I soon became aware that a more holistic approach would be much more effective in any healing process and in prevention. I started my search for a method that I could most relate to and completed trainings in Reflexology, Shiatsu, and Manual Therapy.  During this time I also started taking Feldenkrais (Awareness Through Movement ®) classes for my own benefit. I was instantly impressed by how differently I felt after every class. There was so much more ease and fluidity throughout my body and moving seemed so much more efficient. I also felt mentally refreshed and positive. Every class left me feeling better about myself and allowed me to connect deeper with my inner self.  I had found my path.

 

I took a one-year training with my Feldenkrais teacher in Munich, Germany. After moving to Ottawa, in 1998 and raising my three children I started the four-year Professional Training Program in New York City with one of Feldenkrais’ original students. This was a transformational time in my life as I learned so much about the human ability to learn, change, and evolve. I graduated from the training in 2015.

I have taught Awareness Through Movement ® classes in Ottawa since 2013 and enjoy giving individual Functional Integration ® lessons since 2015. The Feldenkrais Method® still inspires me and allows me to make new discoveries about movement and wellbeing every time I’m teaching and going on the mat myself.
