Adult Workshops & Sessions

My work with adults is completely embedded in an intersectional inclusive ethos. I welcome conversations with people about access needs and exploring how they can attend a workshop. Please get in touch.

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.

The Practice

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.

My Approach

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 a member of staff on the London Feldenkrais Professional Training and supports new practitioners as they transition from training into building their practice
