“During my Ph.D. research working with adults with chronic pain, anxiety, and behavioral issues, I realized that many of these challenges originated during the early stages of development. Studying with Dr. Feldenkrais gave me an understanding of the mechanisms of human movement development and how movement is connected to our senses, awareness, and maturation. Sharing the skills, knowledge, and principles I learned from Dr. Feldenkrais has become my life’s work.”
