What does living your best life mean to you?

Seems like I hear the phrase – “living your best life” frequently these days.

I am sure there are very many answers to this question.

Having reached a certain stage in life, I have asked myself that question, including whether Moving Well would be part of that.

My conclusion is yes to sharing what I have learned in a nearly 40-year career. I have crafted an integrated approach informed by my graduate degree in kinesiology (movement science) and training as a physical therapist, enhanced by a far more embodied study of movement through the Feldenkrais and Anat Baniel methods. I commit to meeting clients where they are, and using what I have studied and my own intuition to support them in doing what they love.

I choose to focus on working with folks whose goals reflect aspects of my own best life.

I see three key areas where my skills and what is most meaningful to me, intersect.

One is performance enhancement – helping folks do the things they love. For me that includes adult ballet and fiber arts. Professionally, I have also worked not only with dancers, but also with musicians and a range of athletes. I have taught many “more comfortable knitting” workshops and worked individually with many crafters.

This could be for you if…

• You are someone who participates in an activity that is life enhancing and brings you joy. Either you feel frustrated with your performance level or perhaps pain or injury is getting in the way, or both. If you have found doing strengthening and stretching exercises is not enough, this is especially for you.
• You a learn more about how I can help.
• You can learn more about what others have to say about my work.

Second is the application of mindful movement and other mind/body techniques to address stress, anxiety and overwhelm. Again, this emerges from personal practice and work I have done in the past.

This could be for you if…

• You are someone who experiences stress, anxiety or overwhelm and are curious as to how mindful movement and other mind/body techniques can help. Or perhaps you are more generally interested in mindfulness and exploring ways to experience this.
• You can learn more about how I can help including an on-demand offering.

Last is supporting the next generation of Feldenkrais® practitioners through mentor/coaching.
