Providing Expertise & Mastery in the Neuroplasticity, Neuromovement, and Embodiment Modalities of Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais & Anat Baniel
Are you, or a loved one struggling with a physical limitation or a chronic health issue? Do you want to experience more vitality, balance and flexibility as you age? Do your core values align with an integrative and embodied approach to health?
Parents; does your child struggle with learning, or have a special need that is not responding to traditional therapies? Are you confident that your child’s potential has yet to be discovered, despite their diagnoses or prognosis?
Your goals for optimal functioning & your wishes for your child’s successful development are within reach and I can help you achieve them. This powerful approach to lifelong health, pioneered by the incomparable Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, begins from a basic premise: That awareness of self-in-movement is a requirement for overcoming injury, chronic pain, and disordered development.
Awareness of self-in-movement is the field and the terrain in which I help you cultivate a new, more effortless experience of embodiment. In these sessions, I shine a light on the unconscious patterns of movement in order to free you from habitual ways of feeling, sensing, and acting. I masterfully guide you to explore & discover an embodiment that creates a new organization, that is based on biological principles. Outcomes of these lessons result in developmental fluency, resiliency, flexibility, release from pain, and a greater intelligence for facing challenges along the lifespan.
Though pain reduction and improved function are likely outcomes, the benefits of engaging in this approach will benefit you in significantly more expansive & integrated ways. You can expect not only physical improvements but emotional and cognitive improvements that are more remarkable than mechanistic, corrective physical rehabilitation approaches.
Mind, Moving & Learning is based in the beautiful Rogue Valley of Ashland, Oregon providing exceptional & compassionate Feldenkrais/ABM lessons in a variety of settings.
