Today’s video falls into the category of most frequently asked questions. It revolves around a question that goes something like this: “Irene, does **insert your mind-body practice of choice** help with healing trauma and nervous system regulation?” Gosh, folks, I wish it were easy enough to just say [...]
One of my first entry points into neuroplastic learning, and the capacity for the human system to rewire, change and evolve past “usual” standards of human potential, was via the work of Dr. Moshé Feldenkrais vis-à-vis the body of work called, The Feldenkrais Method. I began this quest [...]
