The Feldenkrais Method is a somatic education system that uses gentle movement and directed attention to help people learn new patterns of movement. Developed by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, it draws on principles of physics, neuroscience, and biomechanics. It's not exercise, therapy, or massage — it's a learning process that helps your nervous system find more efficient, comfortable ways to move.

Absolutely not. The Feldenkrais Method meets you exactly where you are. Movements are always done within your comfortable range — there's no stretching, no pushing, and no "correct" position to achieve. People of all ages, fitness levels, and physical conditions can benefit.

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows you to move freely — think yoga pants, sweatpants, or anything you'd wear to relax at home. Avoid jeans, belts, or restrictive clothing. Sessions are done in socks or barefoot, so no special shoes are needed.

While yoga and Pilates focus on achieving specific postures or building strength, Feldenkrais focuses on how you move rather than what you do. There are no poses to hold, no reps to count, and no muscle burn to push through. The emphasis is on awareness, ease, and learning — your brain changes, and your body follows. Many yoga and Pilates practitioners find Feldenkrais deepens their existing practice.

Many people notice changes after a single session. For deeper, lasting change, a series of 6–10 sessions is often recommended. Some people continue with regular group classes indefinitely because they enjoy the ongoing learning process. There's no fixed program — we'll work together to find what's right for you.

Coverage varies by provider and plan. Some insurance companies and HSA/FSA plans do cover Feldenkrais sessions, especially when referred by a physician. I can provide detailed receipts for you to submit to your insurance provider. Contact me for more information about current rates and payment options.

You'll lie on a low, comfortable table (fully clothed) while I use gentle, non-invasive touch to guide your body through small movements. The touch is extremely light — it's communication, not manipulation. I'm listening to your nervous system and suggesting new possibilities for movement. Sessions typically last 45–60 minutes and are deeply relaxing.

Yes. Many people come to Feldenkrais specifically for chronic pain relief, and research supports its effectiveness. By helping you become aware of habitual movement patterns that contribute to pain, the method allows your nervous system to find alternatives. It's not a quick fix, but the changes tend to be deep and lasting. The method is particularly effective for back pain, neck pain, and repetitive strain issues.
