Functional Synthesis - FS
Hands on lessons where I slowly and gently move your body. I feel your current state of movement and provide your nervous system with new information and possibilities. I always stay within your current range, allowing your body to feel comfort from the movements.
How FS Are Scheduled
​
Length of each FS lesson depends on the individual and need.
Adults and most children – 45 minutes
Some children's lessons will end early based on their needs
New Client consultation and FS lesson – up to 1 hour
​
How Many Lessons?
This depends on your needs. Recent and minor strains or injuries may see results in a few lessons. I may suggest an "intensive" for more serious needs.
​
Intensives
Many conditions will benefit best when received in clusters of lessons. New neural connections are very fragile and benefit the most from many variations around new information – this creates a stronger network of neural connections, enhancing your body’s response.
Mini Intensive
2x per day, 3 days in a row
Full Intensive
2x per day, 5 days in a row
Extended Intensive
2x per day, 5 days in a row, a break over the weekend (to integrate the new changes), plus additional days after the weekend.
​
1x per day may be scheduled for busy, working adults
Transformational Movement Lesson - TML
Instructor led classes or one-on-one - where I verbally guide you through your own movement lesson. Lessons vary from lying on a mat on the floor, sitting in a chair, and standing. TMLs are a great way to connect to yourself and your surroundings.
TML Classes
​
Classes average 45 - 60 minutes each
Props and modifications are always available to give you comfort with your body’s current abilities. Movements are slow and gentle, and done in a mindful way of feeling yourself and the space around you.
You will begin to move in ways that feel easier, lighter, and help to reduce inflammation. TMLs are also a great way to keep your brain young and vibrant.

At Home Coaching
Online support for parents and caregivers. Allow the integration from your in-studio lessons to continue at home. Learn how to recognize old habits and to upgrade your experience at home.
1 Hour online sessions
​
I work with you or a caregiver over video conference. For parents and caregivers of children, I observe your interactions at home, and provide suggestions on how to connect with your child in a more meaningful manner, often brining more calm and learning into the home environment.
For adults I can provide TML lessons over video, as well as guide caregivers on how to support another adult through the video lessons.
