Feldenkrais for Little Ones

creating solid foundations to build on

Why Feldenkrais®?

Because it speaks a language that young children are fluent in—
a language of curiosity + movement + exploration + discovery.
The entry point here is the nervous system and from that place of regulation, everything becomes clearer and easier.Movement and exploration create the foundation that we grow ourselves from. They literally help forge the pathways in our brains and inform all of our systems from the very beginning.the movement of a hand in front of the face.
the kicking of the feet.
a curious arc of the eyes...and the body that follows...So when a child who is developing easefully gets 'stuck' on a certain milestone, it is something worth looking at.
Because ease-filled graceful movements—and not forceful workarounds—create the right kind of pathways in the brain.

What can Feldenkrais Help With?

+ + + each session is as unique as your child. We are interested in seeing your child thrive as a whole being...not just check off the boxes on a milestone chart. So...we meet your child exactly where they are and help them grow from there. And along the way, we speak to your child's wholeness and health because that is where growth happens best.

How I came to Feldenkrais

Becoming a Feldenkrais Practitioner was a very personal choice—
it's the beautiful story that began with the birth of our daughter Nora Kate, who was born with Down Syndrome.She started me out on a journey—
and life has been filled with discovery and wonder ever since.
When she started crying her way through typical therapy,
we knew something had to change—fast!
and so we were led to Feldenkrais.I fell in love instantly with the fact that our Feldenkrais Practitioner was interested in growing Nora Kate from her places of freedom and health rather than insisting that she stand before she could stand on her own. She was much more interested that Nora Kate learn to walk WELL than when she took her first steps.She listened for pathways of ease...
and so then did Nora Kate.And as Nora Kate began to suprise us in beautiful ways—
I saw a door open. And I stepped through.
I became a Feldenkrais Practitioner first and then continued on to specialize in working with Children.
And it has been SO rewarding—
