Sensory-Motor Education, Rehabilitation and Self Developmentfor adults, teenagers, children and babies
with Feldenkrais Method® of Somatic Education
Advanced Training Theory and Techniques Anat Baniel Method for Children (ABM)
Jeremy Krauss Approach for Child development (JKA)
I help adults and children learn their way out of sensory-motor difficulties. I work with people with awide range of needs and I specialise in working with children and babies, especially those withspecial needs (atypical developmental and neurological needs).
In my work with adults, besides working with recovery and rehabilitation from pain and injury, andprevention of injury and loss of function, I also specialise in the application of the method forcreative thinking and performance enhancement for professionals, recovery from anxiety andtrauma, and in working with issues to do with the pelvic floor.
Feldenkrais Method uses the power of neuroplasticity (the brain’s ability to change) to improve oursensory-motor functioning. It does this by using movement to send new information to the brain andnervous system. This process restores or creates new neural connections and new possibilities forperception and movement.
Since moving forms the basis of everything we do – from breathing, sensing and perceiving to dailyactivities and high performance practices – improving how we move can also improve all areas ofour lives, including our ability to think, feel and act in the world.

I can work in English and French, and am on my way to speaking German!
