Course Philosophy

Through this workshop you will increase self-awareness and appreciate your body as a dynamic system that is ever changing. You will have an introduction to the Feldenkrais® Method, as well as other somatic disciplines. You will be moving with the qualities of intention and attention in present time and experience new ways of engaging gravity and refining your sense of touch.

The goal of this course is to discover how to work with more efficiency, less effort and prolong your career.

"My interest in teaching stems from a career of over 30+ years as a manual therapist that has given me so much for so long. It is time for me to give back to my profession and offer a helping hand to my colleagues."

Henry Cloud

Marcel Proust
