Christine's credentials (Feldenkrais®, Yoga, Pilates, TRX, and FMS) are testimony to her drive to educate herself on how the normal body moves and feels, and how we can make it close to normal again after injury, age, or bad habits. She never seems to take a vacation, instead she takes another class. She has brought multiple techniques to bear in our therapy sessions, and I have benefited greatly from her growing expertise. Working with Christine is the best investment I've made for my personal well-being and I'll continue to work with her to maintain it. And, to boot, she's a great human being.”
Our time together is the best investment I've made. Each lesson provides me with tools to employ when I need to soothe or strengthen myself. The education I've received from Christine is priceless. Most impressive is Christine herself. More than any other professional I've encountered—osteopaths, physical therapists, chiropractors—Christine is PRESENT. In my experience, it's rare to encounter someone who gives you their attention so genuinely. Her enthusiasm for learning is evident in her continuing education, which she generously shares with her clients. Christine is unaffectedly charming and kind."
You are not your diagnosis!
What if you could use your strengths to overcome some weaknesses or limitations? Wouldn’t that be great?
The interventions I offer to relieve your chronic pain focus on improving, rather than correcting, since there is really no limit to your ability to improve.
Unlike traditional medicine, I like to think more deeply about why you want to get well, by going beyond the pain. Your answers will allow me to guide you in exploring how you are moving right now and how you can evolve, rather than hammering on the problem.
With tailor-made exercises from Pilates, Feldenkrais®, and other methods that have proven to work over time, you can gradually get over the pain and improve your situation.
Depending on the type of injury, the situation you are experiencing, and how long you’ve been struggling with the same issue, the process may be quick or take several months. It also depends on how quickly you integrate the work done together into your daily life.
I offer to accompany and coach you to provide you with all the necessary tools (Feldenkrais®, Pilates, Functional training, or a mix of the three), so that the transition is smooth and you can resume your activities as soon as possible. To get there, you will need to be attentive and motivated.
Rediscover the pleasure of moving with ease. It’s possible!
