Support for ongoing
health conditions

People often come to work with me because they are living with particular health conditions such as ME, chronic fatigue syndrome, Parkinson’s disease, fibromyalgia, MS and cancer.

While the Feldenkrais Method cannot cure any of these conditions, people find that the Feldenkrais lessons are supportive to their general well-being and comfort.

Tune into your sensations of ease

The lessons are slow and done at your own pace, so if you can’t manage some movements, you can make them smaller and you can rest whenever you need to. You are encouraged to listen to your sensations of ease, which can be a relief if you are mostly aware of sensations of discomfort.

The online classes give you the opportunity to join a class from the comfort of your own home, without having to travel. At the end of the class for participants often share their reflections on the lessons, which can be, for some people, an important way for to connect with others.

Over time you develop your curiosity and notice more about the way you do things which can help you improve whatever daily functions are important to you, for example: balance, breathing, walking, getting up from a chair, turning over in bed, bathing, running or swimming.

"Recovering from
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome..."

"Jackie's online Feldenkrais lessons have been perfect for me while recovering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME. The classes are mostly done lying down, and use small movements that build throughout the lesson, with built in rest periods to allow for system integration. I always feel taller, more free and grounded in my body after the sessions.

At any point the invitation is to imagine the movement if you're too tired to physically do it; that being said, the longer I've taken the classes the less I've needed to do this. Since the invitation is exploration and ease of movement rather than achieving certain postures, it removes the need to strive and be better and allows you to just explore what's possible. I love it!”

"Feldenkrais classes fill me with hope..."

“Feldenkrais has been a truly transformative for me and has profoundly changed my body and my relationship to it. Everything I do is better because of it - from household chores to qui gong, tai chi, yoga, walking, riding etc. It has unlocked me so my life is less tiring and uncomfortable but more relaxed, easier and more enjoyable.

The stealth approach of Feldenkrais is very useful for somebody who likes to anticipate, help and participate. It is unlike anything else I have ever done! I never know where the class is going and it keeps my brain occupied. It fills me full of hope that anything is possible despite any perceived barriers! That is huge!
