After spending way too many years glued to my computer, I noticed I had a body when a herniated disc shouted so loudly I couldn't ignore it.

A friend introduced me to the Feldenkrais Method®, which thankfully put me on the path to healing. By learning how to listen and respond to more subtle cues, I soon found myself out of pain. But then the true joy started, as I realized not only could I return to how I was before my injury, but actually expand what was possible. So at 45, life opened up to all sorts of new possibilities. Now at 58, I'm enjoying a new hobby of trail running, and delighting in being able to dance all evening without pain.

I love teaching classes and presenting information - let me know if you'd like a class for a support group, professional association, or other group.

I hold the following certifications:

• Guild-Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner^SM
• Anat Baniel Method^SM for Children, Anti-Aging and Vitality, and High Performers
• NLP Practitioner
• Nia instructor (Blue belt)
• Level 2 SkateIA inline skate instructor
• BA, Biology
• MA, Applied Behavioral Science
• CPR/First Aid

In my previous careers, I've been a technical writer, manager, organizational development consultant, and counselor working with at-risk children.

Fixing things and analyzing and solving problems are my passions. Whether it be programming, networking, skating, or dancing, understanding how the components work together makes creativity possible. 

I enjoy figuring out what is required for a particular movement, and breaking it down so it can be easily learned. The Feldenkrais Method, designed by physicist Moshe Feldenkrais, provides a structure for analyzing and improving movement that works, whether your goal is getting out of pain or learning new skills. 

In my spare time, I teach dancing and skating, help non-profits with their networks, and love to fix things.
