Only when you know what you do, can you do what you want. (Moshé Feldenkrais)
Move better, feel better, think better, because you free yourself from pre-set mindsets.
I guide my clients through organized sets of gentle movements that they do slowly and with focus. They serve as tools for learning about how their body works and to discover ways to adjust, enhance, and refine the way they move and use themselves.
Movement is crucial not only in the Feldenkrais method but, of course, in real life, always. It’s how we navigate, act, communicate, and express ourselves and our emotions. Our movements shape how we perceive and feel and understand the world around us. To facilitate our lives, we make habits and, over time, habits no longer suit to changed contexts. Sometimes movement habits lead to discomfort and pain. However, knowing how to move optimally in any situation is helpful, sometimes essential. The Feldenkrais method aims to heighten awareness of one’s own movement, reduce unnecessary tension, and find smoother, more comfortable and sustainable ways for moving through life.
I offer private one-to-one sessions at my studio, where, together with my client, we take the time to explore movement varieties through my gentle guidance. This is optimal for focusing on very personal matters. In group classes and workshops, clients are free to interpret my verbal instructions. This is a more independent way of exploring one’s movement scope and how to optimise it.

The Feldenkrais method is named after Moshé Feldenkrais (1904-1984), a multi-disciplinary scientist and researcher who introduced this approach in the 1950s.
Moshé Feldenkrais was a doctor in applied physics, mechanical engineer, and judo black belt and saw the human body as a holistic entity—a “moving machine with a soul.” His aim was to make movement possible, easy, and pleasant, by following the principle of achieving maximum results with minimal effort. By moving more efficiently, individuals can free up resources – their potential – and do things they would otherwise never accomplish.
The Feldenkrais method follows free, organic learning, as we have done as babies, and which children use to acquire basic skills. It often disrupts ingrained movement habits, where they hinder more than they help. While movement habits are essential for our functioning as humans, they can become problematic if limited to a single approach and then even lead to discomfort or pain. In Feldenkrais sessions, movements are performed slowly and mindfully. This encourages the nervous system to dismantle complex body coordination and reconstruct more effective movement patterns. Leveraging the brain’s neuroplasticity, this approach promotes lifelong learning. It is a safe, sustainable, and enjoyable way to expand and refine our skills through individual or group sessions, simply by paying full attention during gentle and exploratory movements.
The Feldenkrais method synergises learnings from various scientific disciplines such as: physics, biology, biomechanics, neurosciences, anthropology, developmental psychology and sociology.
Today, the Feldenkrais method is taught worldwide through 22 national associations and over 7,000 teachers across various domains including the arts, music, sports, rehabilitation, and personal well-being.
