Why Girl Integrated?

Most of my clients are cisgender women and transgender women.

As a woman myself, I am particularly sensitive to how 

women are conditioned to defer to external sources for answers

rather than trusting our own subjective experience.

Also, I like the variation on the theme of interruption

and the stop-and-start nature of real learning.

​

Why Movement?

​

As a massage therapist, yoga teacher, performer and voice instructor,

I’ve spent years observing how people hold their histories in their bodies.
Pain, tension and limitation are rarely simple—they are a culmination

of movement patterns, memories, beliefs, and the ways we protect ourselves.

Movement was our first intelligence— so why not start there?

Why Feldenkrais?​

​

We are all taught, from a very young age, to not feel—

on multiple levels and for multiple reasons.

Negotiating relationships and activities without all of that rich sensory data

it is like looking at life through a crack in the fence.

​​

The Feldenkrais Method® of somatic education lets us work with

our own nervous system in a way that honors it—

not by fixing or forcing, but by expanding awareness.

​The idea is that when we understand how we move, we can move differently.
And when we move differently, the ripple effects reach far and wide.​
