Philosophy and Comments        

Your body-mind-spirit is designed for healing. In our current culture we tend to think of ourselves as parts that need to be fixed, as if a mechanic can adjust one part without disturbing the whole. We get caught in patterns of living that are not always helpful nor healthy. The proper non-invasive techniques can stimulate your system to find its own healthy balance. The Feldenkrais Method® can guide you toward new movement patterns and freedom.

Work Hours and Fee Schedule        

Private appointments Wednesdays and Fridays 11-4. Call for current rates. Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Illinois Preferred Provider.
