Is Feldenkrais® a Fit for You?
Book a free consultation
Fifty-five minutes, in person at my Kirkland studio. We’ll talk about what you’d like to be able to do better and what you’ve tried so far. I’ll explain my approach. Then I’ll watch how you move. We’ll do some work together, so you get a taste of what a lesson is like.
At the end I’ll tell you whether I think I can help. Sometimes the answer is no, and I’ll say so.
Free, and there’s no obligation to book anything afterward.
If the calendar doesn’t load, use the booking page or email me at info@kineticinquiry.com.
Frequently asked questions
I’ve already tried physical therapy, massage, and chiropractic. How is this different?
In a Feldenkrais lesson you work on how the whole of you takes part in the movement. I spent two years in physical therapy for my hamstrings. My glutes got stronger, and on the racquetball court I went on overusing my hamstrings anyway, because the habit hadn’t changed. I’d encourage you to do whatever you find helpful. In my experience, no single approach fixes everything. The people who do best find what helps them, e.g., exercise, meditation, or therapy, and do all of it. See Feldenkrais Therapy for more details.
Who is this not a fit for?
This is not a fit for someone who wants a quick fix. Learning to move differently takes time and attention, the same way learning an instrument or a sport does. We can’t know in advance how long it will take to get the results you want. And if I don’t think I can help you, I’ll tell you at the consultation.
What happens in the free consultation?
We start by talking about what you’d like to be able to do better and what you’ve tried so far, and I explain how I work. Then we spend 10 to 20 minutes on a low, padded table, so you get a taste of what a lesson is like. If we both think it’s a fit, we talk about scheduling and packages.
What should I wear?
Something you can move and lie down in, e.g., what you’d wear to a gym or on a hike. Skip anything tight or formal, and leave off jewelry that digs in when you’re lying down. You stay fully clothed the whole time.
Where’s the studio, and where do I park?
The studio is at 12810 NE 64th Street, Kirkland, WA 98033, just north of Bridle Trails State Park. NE 64th Street is a gravel road, and the studio is down the second driveway on the left. There’s free parking on the property. For directions, see the contact page.
What happens after I book?
You’ll answer a few questions when you book, about what you’re dealing with and what you want to be able to do, so I can read them before you arrive. You’ll get a confirmation email with the address, a map link, and calendar links. If you need to change the time, use the Cancel/Reschedule link in that email or call me at 425-202-5685.
