About Feldenkrais
Strong comprehension of feminist, anti-colonial, anti-racist history and beliefs.
Evidence based somatic movement training based on touch, developmental patterns, musculo-skeletal function, the breath mechanism.
Trauma-informed evidence based somatic training created to actually heal trauma stored in the body through energy.
Somatic parts work; working with challenging thoughts through location in the body; rebuilding attachment wounds through safety in the body and in relationship to other humans.

Through gentle, body-based practices, I support fellow humans in reconnecting with their wholeness, moving through difficulty and finding steadiness from the inside out.

The Feldenkrais Method® of somatic education uses gentle movement and directed attention to help people learn new and more effective ways of living the life they want. You can increase your ease and range of motion, improve your flexibility and coordination, and rediscover your innate capacity for graceful, efficient movement. Since how you move is how you move through life, these improvements will often enhance your thinking, emotional regulation, and problem-solving capabilities.
The Feldenkrais Method is based on principles of physics, biomechanics, and an empirical understanding of learning and human development. By expanding your perception and increasing awareness, you will become more aware of your habits and tensions and develop new ways of moving. By increasing sensitivity, the Feldenkrais Method assists you to live your life more fully, efficiently, and comfortably.
Through my sessions with my clients, I am also learning and healing from my own trauma. This positions me as a student of the world of deep somatic listening.
I am not an expert, will never diagnose you but I will listen and accompany you through the difficult stuff.
I am also very open about what I have gone through and how that informs my practice. Please feel free to ask me any questions.
Functional Integration is a hands-on technique that uses gentle, precise touch and movement to help the nervous system learn more efficient ways to move. During a session, the Andréa guides subtle movements tailored to your unique body patterns, helping to release tension, improve coordination, and increase ease in daily activities. It supports deeper body awareness and fosters lasting changes by working directly with your individual movement habits and nervous system responses.
Awareness Through Movement (ATM) is a Feldenkrais group class using guided, gentle movement lessons to improve body awareness and function. These lessons help you notice habitual patterns and explore new ways of moving with ease and comfort. ATM supports nervous system regulation, reduces tension, and enhances coordination. Practicing ATM regularly can increase flexibility, balance, and overall well-being by encouraging mindful, playful exploration of your body’s possibilities.
Somatic Experiencing is a body-centered approach to listening to the body, developed by Dr. Peter Levine. It focuses on tuning into bodily sensations rather than just the story of the event. Science shows that trauma can get trapped in the nervous system, causing physical and emotional symptoms. By gently tracking these sensations, Somatic Experiencing helps release this energy, restoring balance and promoting natural healing and regulation of the nervous system.
