Biography:
The Feldenkrais Method came to my attention some years ago after doing Dance/Movement therapy training in London and in Bristol whilst very involved in other forms of Dance. In my work as a teacher/therapist I became particularly interested in ‘developmental’ movement & learning in children & adults and this clearly linked to the Feldenkrais Method. I found Awareness through Movement lessons improved my dancing and this intrigued me as to how this could be so. After a spell of ‘performing’ then working in arts development in education & development work in social care, I moved location from the city and had a child, whilst continuing in development & training of staff in Social Care. When contemplating the future, to my surprise ‘Feldenkrais’ sprang to mind. The possibility of working through movement with individuals and groups resonated with the teaching & learning that I had been engaged in 15 years earlier. The Feldenkrais training was a fascinating, frustrating and fulfilling insight into learning ‘how to learn’.
