I teach clients one on one all year round. Many people love the
group class experience of Awareness through Movement (see the "Classes"
link for more on this). However, there are times when private
sessions are more appropriate--for example, when you have a specific
issue you are working on that may not get enough attention during a
class, or when there may be conditions such as stroke or neurological
challenges that need a lot of direct attention from both of us.
During
a Functional Integration we may work on a table, on the floor, or in a
chair. I use a combination of verbal guidance and touch to guide you
through a lesson relevant to what you want to explore; however, touch
is entirely optional and need not happen at all. Lessons can
incorporate standing, sitting, or any movement or positions relevant to
the theme being explored. For example, if you're looking for help
with a specific yoga posture or a dance move, or help with how to get
around in your kitchen without falling, we build the entire lesson
around what you are trying to do.
I'm
a strong believer in "where the rubber hits the road," meaning that I
may give you homework and practical applications for putting the lesson
into use in in everyday life. Sometimes it isn't completely clear to
us just how much we have to do on our own in order to get better.
Feldenkrais is a very practical process, grounded in reality.
The
process of a lesson is very gentle and safety is a priority. As this
is educational and not therapeutic, there is no need to get undressed
or use special equipment. A lesson lasts 60-75 minutes.
The
cost of a one on one Functional Integration session is $85.00.
Sliding scale fees of $50+ are available for those in need. I work in south central Austin. Hours are by appointment and flexible to suit your needs.
