Functional Integration® (one on one)
Improve your comfort and movement with these customized sessions. Through gentle “hands on” Feldenkrais® lessons – I will support you to discover your habits, address challenges, and gently guide you towards greater ease, coordination and balance in daily activities or specialized actions (walking, sitting, voicing, singing, performing, or working with your instrument or specialist equipment!). You will sit or lie on a low table, comfortably clothed. Set aside 60 minutes for your first consultation.
Improving balance, improving breathing, moving from anxiety to presence, trust and confidence are some of the changes I support.
I have a background in music and theatre (singing teaching and performance, piano) and you will find pianos in my studio if you wish to work with body awarensss, comfort and confidence at the piano).
