I have been interested in movement arts since my teenage years in Israel, when I was practicing Shorinji Ryu (Karate.) After my Film & TV Undergraduate studies at NYU I started a 15-year career as a motion graphics producer. The demanding daily grind of TV production highlighted old and new physical limitations, and brought into awareness inefficiencies in my physical self-use centering mainly around my spine. While searching for a more intelligent and intuitive approach I discovered the soft and internal martial art of Tai Chi Chuan, and simultaneously the subtle and gentle approach of the Alexander Technique.

About 10 years ago, while searching for ways to diminish chronic pains and improve my daily functioning I had experienced a Functional Integration® lesson of the Feldenkrais Method®. It was highly effective, not only in helping me recover faster from various painful conditions, but there also was an entire unexpected, powerful process that started during the lesson and just kept going. Most importantly it was great fun too. I dreamed of becoming a Feldenkrais® practitioner one day, but never imagined how transformative this journey would actually become for me. In 2003 I finally left my tv producing career behind to become a Feldenkrais® practitioner.

The intense personal challenges both my parents experienced in the last years of their lives impacted me profoundly. Their stubborn struggle to remain functional, effective and dignified to the very end has become a powerful and symbolic influence in my life. It became my passion to work with people with varying personal struggles and limitations, ranging from those recovering from surgeries to stroke victims, seniors and many more.

For some people, especially performers and athletes, I am a movement teacher, yet for others I teach awareness. Some people, mainly those who suffer from chronic pains or are recovering from injuries tend to say that these lessons are therapeutic. This revolutionary baby-style-learning process which focuses on sensing/feeling/paying attention, rather than memorizing, has a powerful healing component. My focus is on creating the best environment for learning that takes place by the student and myself simultaneously.
