Since

2000

While on vacation, I tripped over an uprooted piece of sidewalk.  After weeks of debilitating pain, I learned that my little stumble had caused a disc in my lower back to herniate (Ouch!).  After a few months of traditional treatment methods, with no sustained pain relief, my doctor recommended surgery.  Wanting to save that as an absolute last resort, I decided to try Feldenkrais.

 

After 10-12 sessions, I was pain free, and have remained so ever since.  That experience was so transformative that it convinced me that I wanted to help others in a similar way.  I decided to embark on the path to become a certified Feldenkrais practitioner and have been helping others ever since.
