Moving in Wholeness is my unique way of teaching FELDENKRAIS LESSONS so you can discover deep body awareness and more levels of consciousness.  All behaviors, including emotions, have a pattern of movement associated with them.  In doing this work you replace unconscious patterns of movement, established early in life, with authentic ones that are more useful to you in present time.  You’re gently guided to find internally motivated choices (what you really want), rather than the choices you learned to make to satisfy the expectations of others.  The effect is lasting change: the sort of improvement that offers greater vitality, more flexibility in your responses to life, and grace in everyday actions.

I blend intuition with a totally practical approach in my teaching style.  Playfulness, childlike curiosity, and humor are encouraged and included as part of the process.

When you are aware, you have the choice to change.  Without awareness there’s no choice but to continue your present pattern. Learning about yourself through awareness is healing.   Awareness, in and of itself, is transformational.

Our innate intelligence gives life to the body.
We simply have to get our educated mind out
of the way and give a greater intelligence a chance
to do what it does best.
– Albert Einstein

Now is the only time we can change.  The difficulty is that our mental body is usually worried about the future and our emotional body is caught in concern about the past. Our physical body, however, is always in present time. Moving in Wholeness uses the inherent present state of your physical body to help you heal and bring more presence into your life.

Movement is the best way to access the physical body. It is always going on and it is the environment for all our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The quality and comfort of your movement deeply effects the quality of your life. However, injuries, overwork, and a lifestyle of sitting too much cause a diminishing quality of movement. 

Sometimes, we have simultaneously conflicting thoughts…”I have to, but I can’t”…”I should, but I don’t want to”…  The foundation of these thoughts are embedded in long-held beliefs. However, these conflicting intentions can produce the opposing muscular demands that we experience as chronic tightness, tension, unnecessary effort, and emotional discomfort.
