My work, rooted in the core principles of Feldenkrais®, facilitates the discovery of self-healing and innate intelligence, which exists in you and in all living beings. Our bodies are constantly sending us messages, be it in the form of a mild heachache, a chronic condition, or a deeply pleasurable sensation. Even if we recognize these messages, we often don’t have the tools to understand the body’s communication, and we unknowingly end up working against our own wellness rather than toward it. If we learn to listen to what our bodies are saying, we begin to consciously receive these internal messages as vital information for our healing, wellness, vitality and growth.
In a session we begin by identifying your healing strengths and challenges by listening together to your words and thoughts as well as your gestures and movements. I use a holistic hands-on methodology to assess the quality of the inflow and outflow of breath, the beating of pulses in your hands, feet, head and abdomen, the responsiveness of your nervous system to gentle push and pull, and the vibrational qualities of your energy. We then embark on your healing process unblocking obstacles to communication on three structural levels: physical; energetic; and the space between the two. We close by integrating this multi-level release through engaged participation, the active stage at which you apply new ways of being through joyful movement explorations. At each session we begin work on the level most appropriate for you at the time, often working at more than one level. To complement the transformation that occurs through these sessions, I incorporate suggestion for daily self-care that may include dietary adjustments, Homeopathic and Herbal remedies, and easy and fun movement and journaling activities.
On each structural level I facilitate your healing with the aid of different hands-on healing techniques. For the physical level, composed of the most external regions of your body like muscles, joints, and organs, I use Myofascial & Membrane Release and Visceral Manipulation techniques to follow the places where you can begin to slowly unwind. For the energetic level, composed of a system of meridians and vortexes, I use my original method called Shamanic Acupuncture to uncover your hidden resources and power by mapping your energy with needles, ancient sounds and movements. For “the bridge” level, composed of the deep regions of your central nervous system and brain as well as the chakras, I use Craniosacral Unwinding techniques to transform deeper limitations, following the exchanges that unfold between the physical and energy bodies.
For the integration phase, that of engaged participation, we use Feldenkrais® movement lessons to create an intimate, empowered, and joyful relationship with your body. In this way you will consciously reclaim your discoveries and have them available when you need them.
