What to expect in a Feldenkrais Functional Integration® (FI) session

Functional Integration® sessions use a combination of non-invasive, gentle touch, movement, and sometimes words to guide your awareness and help your nervous system make connections throughout the body.  I typically work on a low table similar to a massage table with clients in a comfortable position – lying on the back, side or stomach, in a seated position, or even standing. You will always be fully clothed wearing loose clothing that you can move in easily.  I also have several props (rollers, towels, and pads) that I use to facilitate comfort.

Each Functional Integration® session is custom crafted to your specific needs at each moment.  I will never try to fit your body and movement patterns into a prescribed model.  In FI, I am having a conversation with your nervous system through my hands.  There is always a dialogue back and forth between your system and mine.  In fact, I learn the differences in your body as you do.  Together we make changes and facilitate learning.  You may feel sleepy or "spaced out" during the session, or even rejuvenated and alert.  It is not uncommon at first for clients to feel different at the end of the session, but not really know how or why changes have occurred.  As you continue to build and develop your awareness, the process will become clearer.  

Before we start your session, we will spend some time talking so I can get a sense of your history and lifestyle.  At that time, I can also answer any further questions that may come up about the Feldenkrais Method®, Functional Integration® sessions, or about my approach or philosophies.  At the end of your session, I will have you walk or move a bit to feel the differences in your movements, self-image, and awareness and help you integrate what you have just learned.  Again, I am happy to answer any questions before you leave, and also can give you exercises to do that will help maintain what you learned in the session.  

What is Functional Integration®?

Functional Integration® (FI) sessions are a one-on-one approach to the Feldenkrais Method® of somatic education. Feldenkrais lessons teach you the means to take charge of your own improvement.   Communicating through gentle touch and movement in addition to words, Sharon guides you in your one-on-one process of self-discovery.
FI sessions are specially useful for persons who might benefit from more individualized attention, or who desire more focused work.
