Interesting facts about Janet

I am most happy when clients are able to realize their dreams in small or large parts. Whether it’s recovering from an injury, dealing with a chronic condition, getting ready for a hiking trip, or improving abilities in their chosen hobby or art form.
After 1:1 sessions, I often hear that my clients feel more open, have more freedom of movement, and feel encouraged by their progress.

During group classes, I pay attention to students’ movement quality, their breathing awareness, and tempo. I aim to create the best conditions for learning through pacing, clear instructions, and a friendly presentation. Before and after class, I enjoy talking with participants and answering questions.

What I love about the Feldenkrais Method is that it provides open-ended possibilities for learning and improvement, no matter what problems or issues people may bring to it.

When I have some free time I enjoy walking in Central Park, I enjoy meeting with friends, I enjoy singing, I enjoy deepening my study of the Feldenkrais Method, and I enjoy life! I feel that all these experiences enrich what I can bring to the clients I work with.
