Feldenkrais Movement
The Feldenkrais Method unites parts of the self to organise for better everyday functionality through movement, awareness, and the capacity to learn.

Children & Teenagers
Children are natural movement learners, using their sensory intelligence and curiosity to explore the world from birth.
The Feldenkrais Method taps into this innate wisdom, working with the brain's plasticity and the incredible abilities of the nervous, proprioceptive, vestibular, and kinaesthetic systems to support development and everyday functionality.

I bring many years of experience working with children, teenagers, and their families across diverse settings. My work has included supporting families through challenging circumstances, helping with transitions when new babies arrive, and working extensively in schools with neurodiverse young people and those who experience complex disabilities and histories.
My work is grounded in the belief that given the right conditions everybody can learn and develop at their chosen speed. For some children and teenagers facing additional physical or learning hurdles, their world requires translation by those around them to optimise their potential.
Feldenkrais can help with Cerebral Palsy, Autism, PMLD and Parents & Carers. My work with disabled children and teenagers has developed through years of hands-on experience with children, families, and carers - working collaboratively to make everyday life a little easier. I have specific experience with cerebral palsy, hold enhanced DBS clearance, and am fully insured.
With fellow Feldenkrais Practitioners, I co-designed and taught Movement My First Language, an international project for adults who live or work with children with special needs. I now offer bespoke learning opportunities for adults wanting to understand how movement and touch can enliven children's development, curiosity, and agency.

Through gentle, playful, non-invasive movement exploration, I help young people discover more independent movement through their own felt intelligence and agency.

Individual Sessions & Mini Series Available
A mini series of 2-4 sessions over 5-9 days works particularly well. This immersive approach over a shorter timeframe promotes deeper continuous learning. Individual sessions are also available.Session Details
Sessions typically last 30-60 minutes depending on your child's needs, taking place on the floor, a low-padded table, or with the child alongside their adult.Location
I work upstairs at the Yoga Point in Brixton, London. Please note there is no lift - 13 steps up to the room. Storage space is available downstairs for buggies and wheelchairs.Pricing & Access
My philosophy is to make Feldenkrais financially accessible so more families can experience this approach. If finance is a genuine barrier, please contact me.

Supporting the Supporters
For parents, carers and professionals who live or work with children and teenagers requiring extra support.
Caring for children who need extra support takes its toll. I offer discounted individual Feldenkrais sessions for parents and carers a chance to feel calmer, more grounded, and better resourced for daily life.
-
From birth, children learn about themselves and their world through sensory intelligence—their eyes, their breathing, their attention, their limbs. Movement is their first language.
These bespoke sessions (in person or online) are designed collaboratively with you, the adult caring for or working with children or teenagers.
A space to explore what you already know, ask questions, and make sense of movement as a key foundation for development.
-
Starting with what you already know and your experience of your child I work with you to develop a deeper understanding of:
Sense of self – The image we hold of a child influences how we interact with them.
Touch as communication – Using respectful, intentional touch to support learning, especially for children whose communication is largely non-verbal.
Finding the ground – Ensuring a child feels comfortable and well-supported in themselves and in their equipment, wheelchairs, standing frames, sensory toys.
Weight shift, pressing & lifting – Understanding the physics of functional movement and developmental progression.
The senses as stimulus – Tactile feedback, proprioception, vestibular and kinaesthetic sensing, children learn through their bodies.
-
Sessions are tailored to your situation and designed to fit around work, school and home life.
Short series of 3–5 sessions, each around 1.5 hours
Suggested weekly meetings
In person or online

Adults
My work with adults is completely embedded in an inclusive ethos, welcoming all ages, abilities, access needs, and backgrounds.
I'm particularly interested in how improving physical movement can support positive changes in mental and emotional health and, in turn, develop our self-image. The connections between how we move, our sensations, feelings, and environment all influence each other.
-
Think about movement as a question - drawing your awareness to the way you already move, asking questions of your natural intelligence. Moving slowly and directing your attention opens possibilities to understand how you know what you already know.
Knowing how you are moving is the foundation for building movement patterns that enable you to move more dynamically and efficiently.
-
Since 2015 I have taught a regular public Feldenkrais schedule, including individual sessions, workshops and private online group classes. My practice is lively and includes people of different abilities, needs, ages and backgrounds.
I co-taught Movement My First Language, an international project for adults who live or work with children with special needs, bringing together somatic learning and inclusive practice.
I am member of staff on the London Feldenkrais Professional Training and supports new practitioners as they transition from training into building their practice.

Feldenkrais is taught in 2 ways Awareness Through Movement group classes and indivdual hands on session, Functional Integration. For the time being Lou gives FIs.
