What is a Feldenkrais Private Session?
Private Sessions are focused on your specific needs and difficulties and are tailored exactly to your movement patterns. Your practitioner will gently explore your specific movement patterns and facilitate new ways to move. You will leave with less pain, improved performance, and a renewed sense of what it means to be in your own body.
Length: 50-55 minutes
Wear comfortable clothes you can move in
In a first session we will use a lot of the time asking questions
Practitioners will move your body gently with their hands and ask you to move gently and slowly
What happens in your first session?
We understand it can be difficult trying something new, especially if you've been dealing with chronic pain or other complex issues. That's why your practitioner will aim to understand your needs and provide you with a plan in your first session.
We listen to you.
We will listen and ask clarifying questions to understand what led you to come see us.
We observe you.
Our practitioners will give you a hands-on assessment which will help them give shape to your individual plan, and you'll feel what Feldenkrais work is like.
Together we make a plan.
At the end of the first session you will have a customized plan to guide you toward comfort, strength and improved movement.
With whom should I schedule my first session?
Joshua Wolk
Josh is our most senior practitioner. He has extensive experience working with all kinds of people and a wide variety of problems. He specializes in working with neurological problems and brain injury, but his background in martial arts and extensive knowledge of the mechanics of movement also make him especially effective with functional movement problems and improving high performance endeavors.
Lauren Wolk
Lauren is a practitioner whose warmth creates a deeply safe environment for learning. Lauren works with all people and all problems, but her extensive understanding of anxiety, trauma and self image makes her an especially ideal consultant for people who are seeking to improve in those areas.
Robert Valdez
Robert, affectionately known as “Buddy,” is a practitioner, and has been a life-long mover. Buddy is a Juilliard graduate, professional dancer, yogi, martial arts enthusiast, and all around movement junkie. The Feldenkrais Method® has continued to inform, build, and enhance his passion for movement. He is honored to join people on their self-improvement and movement journeys.
How many sessions should I sign up for?
1 session
Experience Feldenkrais
One session allows you to experience the format of a private session, have your questions answered, and receive a plan for feeling better. Packages offer lower rates than single sessions.
3 sessions (One-time intro)
Learn if Feldenkrais is right for you
Three sessions provide you with the opportunity to see how much you will benefit from Feldenkrais. This is the most popular way to start and is only offered at a reduced rate for new clients.
10 sessions
Commit to substantial change
Ten sessions is what we consider a round of treatment. It is enough time to change habits that you may have developed for decades, the same habits which may be causing you pain. Clients typically purchase this after first doing a three session intro.
