Practice
I have an established practice with a wide range of adults and children. One of the interesting things about the work is the variety of people who come to my practice for such a wide range of reasons. Some come because of pain or hoping to improve posture, for others the reasons may relate to emotional or social challenges.
I also specialise in working with children with special needs. I have trained with Anat Baniel in California. Anat is well-known for her work with children over the past 30 years. I aim to meet each child at their current level of ability and create the conditions that can lead to sustained and objective improvements in mobility, function, the ability to sense themselves and to think clearly. I have trained with Russell Delman who had sythesised Feldenkrais and the Focusing work of Eugene Gendlin in an effective manner. This way of working, called "The Embodied Life" , uses body awareness as a strong ally in working with emotional challenges.
Biography
I discovered the Feldenkrais method while living in Germany in 1998. I was immediately grabbed by the improvement I felt in relation to headaches I had been having but also to my overall mood and sense of myself.I am still excited by and enthusiastic about the work. I qualified from a 4 year training in Switzerland in 2004 (Trainers:Paul and Julie Rubin, Karl Ginsburg, Miriam Pfeffer).
There is fascinating, open-ended potential in this method to improve the quality of many aspects of our life. The work continues to develop through working with a wide variety of clients and by ongoing trainings with experienced teachers, all of whom were trained by Moshe Feldenkrais himself.
I am currently training with Anat Baniel who has over 30 years experience and is known for her work with children with special needs (1 year specialised training, San Rafael, California. 2011-2012). I have previously studied with Russell Delman whose "Embodied Life" work combines Feldenkrais, the Focusing work of Gene Gendlin and sitting meditation (3 year part-time, Switzerland).
Since 2004 I have worked with adults and children with a wide range of interests, backgrounds and challenges in Ireland and Switzerland
