Why Girl Integrated?

My work as a massage therapist, yoga teacher, performer,

intimacy choreographer, and voice instructor

all inform how I practice the Feldenkrais Method—and vice versa.

“Girl Integrated” refers to my own ongoing process of integration.

While many of my students are women—including trans women—

my work is not limited by gender.

It is shaped by a sensitivity to how many of us are conditioned

to defer to patriarchal norms, rather than trust our own direct experience.

Interrupting patterns of thinking, sensing, feeling, and doing

allows us to discover the source of real choice and power.

​

Why Movement?

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

is like reading a review of a movie and thinking you saw it.

​​

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.​
