 Since then, she has taken up the Feldenkrais Method as a practitioner and has been studying movement and sensory-motoric development for over thirteen years. Working with men and women suffering from chronic pain and movement limitations has produced a wealth of experience she uses to support her clients' learning, leading to greater mobility and fluidity in all areas of life as well as improving physical performance. What Erin Offers Erin will support you in integrating new strategies of movement, thought, feeling, and behavior that loosen the knot of painful habits and bring mobility and ease to all areas of your life. In particular, if you feel stuck or find yourself going against the grain (or perhaps seeing the grain for the first time), you might find that this is the precise moment to examine your habits of movement, thought, feeling, and behavior. Often it's the unconscious habits--whether you adopted them while recovering from an injury, dealing with a chronic condition, or living out your choices in life---that create ongoing physical, emotional, or psychological pain. ApproachErin believes that we are all doing everything we possibly can to survive. Therefore, it is not advisable
to "correct" what the nervous system has adopted for its survival.
Rather, the Feldenkrais method supports your nervous system so that you
can learn new strategies for
old habits.
Erin is here to support your learning. It is her wish that you come to Feldenkrais to bring health and wellbeing into your life.As a practitioner, Erin will not correct your posture or tell you how you "should" sit, stand, reach, or turn. Instead, she will help you discover your individual pattern of tension and disorganization, and she will work with you to uncover stability and comfort within your unique configuration, allowing you to sense your balance and ease from the inside. Addictions RecoveryErin is working with addictions counselors and eating disorder therapists to help people suffering from drug, alcohol, and food addictions. She has found that using Feldenkrais to integrate experience into one’s body helps align external changes with internal functions such as muscle tone, unconscious movement, breath, and general parasympathetic nervous system responses.This allows people to respond to the external world without getting emotionally dysregulated. It also significantly lowers the chance of making unhealthy or even dangerous choices due to the nervous system getting overwhelmed by the ‘fight or flight’ response.
