About me

About meI am passionate about helping people of all ages sense themselves better so that they have the freedom to move without pain or restriction. I do this through an awareness through movement method, called the Anat Baniel Method, or ABM, based on the pioneering somatic education work of Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais.
I have over 40 years of experience of working with children with disabilities. I have been using the Anat Baniel Method, a neuromovement approach, since 2010 and find that it produces the best results as far as functional outcomes of any other modality I have tried. I am working with the nervous system using specific touch to connect children to their bodies. It feels good and makes sense to the children.

"Feeling the image of yourself results in change in all aspects of your self organization."
~Moshe Feldenkrais
