Are you a healing modality junkie? Want to get rid of the addiction? Real life. Real stories. Here. Now.

For this post I've decided to share a wonderful letter that I recently received from one of my clients. It is timely as the Olympics are in full swing in London, England. Karen was a highly competitive gymnast in her younger years and now she is starting to realize how [...]

Function Melts Form. Number eight in my FAQ’s and why taking some time to find proper posture is essential for longevity.

2019-04-30T13:06:24-07:00

Function.  Melts.  Form. I LOVE - like so love - those three words in that order. The order is important! It’s a title from a chapter in a book called, How Buildings Learn, by Stewart Brand. When I read it I couldn't let that concept go. What this means is that as [...]

Better Body Balance. An audio lesson for proper posture and perfect balance.

2019-04-30T13:06:24-07:00

Balance is insidious. We are always seeking balance whether you know it or not. By balance, I don't mean "life-balance", I mean, "living in a vertical plane and on two feet" kind of balance. Even when we are laying down, our inner ear and other very important body systems are [...]

Want pain-free movement? All you need is a few hours and some applied practice. An amazing story from my practice.

2019-04-30T13:06:25-07:00

Years ago, must have been in ~2004/05, I remember seeing this person I'm writing about in the recreation centre I use to work at. I remember thinking how all his "nitty gritty exercises" were doing more harm than help.  But I was too shy to say, "Hey, I could show you [...]

Self-awareness and personal improvement. It starts with lingering in the habit.

2019-04-30T13:06:25-07:00

I took this short video at the start of a 3-hour workshop I was teaching in Vancouver titled "Ditch Those Orthotics". As with most Feldenkrais-based teachings you start with self-inquiry and the act of simply noticing what you do. What are the discrepancies to your right or left when you [...]

No more neck pain in 20 minutes. What a “Body Science” session might look like (minus the kiss!)

2014-10-28T13:14:17-07:00

(be sure to go to my website to view the video if you are receiving this via email!!) One of the ways I work with people in my signature Body Science sessions is via the principles of The Feldenkrais Method. This method was founded by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais (1904-1984). Moshe [...]

Sick and tired of being in chronic pain? A success story from the archives.

2019-04-30T13:06:27-07:00

Two days ago I went skiing with the individual I highlight below. On our way up the hill we were chatting about recovering from injuries and how her outlook on healing - as well as her pain - changed after she starting working with me. We are good buds now [...]

Get rid of hamstring strains and lower back pains. The non-stretching way!

2019-04-30T13:06:27-07:00

People often don't believe me when I say, "I haven't stretched in ten years". It's true. Sure I move and have a practice of body awareness that involves feeling where I might have a few tight spots here and there, but I no longer hold static stretches for long periods [...]

The principles of movement that saved my movement. On magic, voo-doo, witchcraft and simply noticing what is invisible, yet all around and in us.

2019-04-30T13:06:27-07:00

Several people said, "It's magic!" I read the above orange letters in a colleagues newsletter a day or so ago. The magic that is being talked about is what people said after they experienced some good old Feldenkrais-Love. I get similar comments from my class participants. I've been called a [...]

Sensing the Void Between You and the Ground: A lesson from child’s play and adult play.

2019-04-30T13:06:28-07:00

I wrote a piece a while back that featured the founder of Contact Dance Improvisation speaking his truths about human movement. This video shows a room of contact dancers 'playing' the way they play, and they have a very brave and young participant too!
