45-minute coaching call via zoom, $130
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.
My coaching calls are over zoom. During our call, I’ll ask detailed questions about your history and your daily life. We will also test a few movements to assess your patterns.
This service includes an extensive lesson plan tailored to your needs, a list of all the movement suggestions I make during our call, and ongoing email support.
If you’re a Treasury subscriber, I can direct you to lessons to practice. If you’re not, I can suggest downloads to practice at home.
“After my spinal surgery at age 70 I thought holding my back stationary was the best way the avoid pain. What a astonishing concept to realize that movement was actually beneficial! And Zoe is a marvelous teacher; she proceeds at the pace you request and always explains the reason for what she is doing.
”
“Zoe is a joy to work with. She is positive, funny, calming, and creative. She has brought a new perspective to my body and its patterns.”
Why do coaching?
A Feldenkrais journey will change your patterns in unforeseen ways. You might be seeking to improve mobility, get out of pain, acquire self-knowledge, resolve trauma or anxiety, feel more comfortable in your body, or restore balance and stability.
Many people use coaching to support their practice with specific directions and guidance. Others use it to help solve an immediate problem. Often people feel stuck in a pattern and can’t find a way through. Whatever you need, I am happy to give you my full attention and the benefit of twenty-five years’ experience of compassionate problem solving to help you restore easy movement.
New habits need support
You've been training your whole life to become the person you are now. Who do you want to become next?
When you train in sensing yourself differently, you also sense completely new choices. Movement is our expression in the world, so relearning our unconscious patterns can affect our sense of self and our relationships with others.
Like psychotherapy, martial arts, getting in shape, changing your diet, or any other pursuit of well-being and vitality, the time and investment you put in is linked to your results.
Most of us start in a place of chronic, habitual tension. We’ve forgotten what it even means to let go. This chronic holding takes a lot of energy and contributes to fatigue, stress, and injury.
It is not until we are aware of what we need to learn that we can even imagine letting go of our conditioned tension. By sensing more clearly how we move, we can move better, live better, and get back to doing the things we love.
Many of my clients—including me!—make Feldenkrais a lifelong practice to stay mobile, flexible, and resilient.
Some of my clients do an audio lesson every day just to be able to walk. Others practice to keep playing guitar, continue cycling, riding horses, running, or getting onto the floor to play with grandkids.
Personally, I do it because my quality of life is not up for negotiation.
“I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.”
