I am a practitioner of the Feldenkrais Method on the west side of Vancouver. I also teach a very effective sleep program that does not use drugs. I work with people to help them learn more body awareness to enable them to use their bodies, and minds, most effectively for all their daily activities. Benefits of Feldenkrais include greater flexibility, less pain and more pleasure in doing everyday activities. My ideal client falls into one of two groups: 1) is middle aged and interested in learning to use their bodies more effectively to continue to stay flexible and do their everyday activities; 2) people living with a chronic illness or recovering from injury. Feldenkrais is a great adjunct to traditional rehab. We help people learn to reintegrate the injured or affected areas of themselves into a complete body image.

I work with people to help them realize their own potential. My asset is my ability to connect with people and help them identify their needs.

1. Leads of organizations and interest groups that are looking for speakers. My presentations are interactive and experiential and focus on helping participants learn how to do everyday activities with greater comfort, for example, sitting, working outside, walking, playing sports.
2. Contacts with GPs, psychiatrists, psychologists and others who can refer their clients who need to learn how to be more aware of their bodies and the connection with their minds.
