Functional Integration® (FI) Lessons

• Are particularly useful if you want to accelerate your pace of learning.
• Make it possible for the teacher to concentrate fully on your goals.
• Are very useful when dealing with high level and chronic pain.
• Facilitate a one-on-one hands-on relationship between client and teacher
• A slow, gentle touch with verbal cues guides the client through gentle movements
• Private sessions allow the practitioner to design movement patterns to the client’s specific needs.
• You are comfortably clothed, and usually lying or sitting on a soft, padded table.
• Sessions are generally 45 minutes to an hour.
• You discover how to relax tense areas, alter habitual patterns and become more aware of new movement possibilities.

New practitioners often have questions and concerns as they start to work with the public. In order to answer that need, Trainer Larry Goldfarb has initiated a Mentor training program. Experienced practitioners pursue an additional three years of training in order to develop their observational and communication skills. They are available to less experienced practioners to answer questions and assist them in developing their skills.

Marjorie Moore has completed this mentoring training and is available to Feldenkrais students & practitioners.
