Most Commonly Asked Questions

1) What one thing can I change to significantly change my life?

Further develop your self image.

Each of us has an idea of who we are, what we can do, and how we look. Together, these ideas make up our self-image, or identity.

I describe to my clients the process of drawing a self-portrait. Some parts of you might be more prominent in the picture, they are more known to you in your idea of your self. Other parts might be fuzzy, incomplete, or completely absent in your image of yourself. These absent and incomplete parts keep you from your fullest being.

Our job is to fill in the picture so you have a clearer, more complete experience of what it means to be you.

2) Why is it so hard to change habits?

If it were easy to change habits, we’d be able to read or hear something and immediately put it into effect. Instead, most of us read it, ponder it, and return to our habits.

Movement experiences are a very powerful way to learn new behaviors. By going deeper than words and thoughts, we get to the essence of change. Feldenkrais said, “when you know what you are doing, you can do what you want.”

3) How do you work with individuals?

In one-to-one sessions, we’ll begin with a conversation about your interests, your questions, and your goals. Then, we’ll have a “get-to-know-you” session and together we’ll determine your needs.

Once we’ve agreed to work together, we’ll design a program to suit your needs, whether it’s weekly for 3-6 months, or every other week for 4-8 months.

The process, while very straight-forward, is subtle and profound and to be savored if the change is to be fully incorporated into your self image.

4) What can I expect from working with you?
You can expect acceptance. I am your witness, your facilitator of change, and your fiercest advocate for a full and potent life.

You can expect to be supported and challenged. To be unchallenged would be to remain in your habit and waste your valuable time and resources.

Improvements in physical condition are a very significant benefit, for some that is enough. But, many others become curious that the change they experience applies to all aspects of their lives, from self-image and decision-making, to changes in viewpoint and personal satisfaction.

There are many other questions about change and transformation. I’ll be updating this page from time to time and I invite you to check back for answers to different questions. If you have a question you’d like to have answered here, please contact me by phone or email.
