"I had chronic illness for 4 years, and pain and tension in my shoulders.  I had given up, wasn't even trying to fix it.  Within a few sessions I carried myself differently, and had no more pain.  It happened quite quickly and easily.  It's one of the most relaxing things, and you walk away with amazing results!"

What to expect

in a 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. 

Each Functional Integration® session is custom crafted to your specific needs at each moment.  Clients may feel sleepy or "spaced out" during the session, or even rejuvenated and alert.  Clients are aware of comfortable changes in their body at the end of a session.

What is Functional Integration®?

Functional Integration® (FI) sessions are a one-on-one approach to the Feldenkrais Method® of somatic education.

Sessions with Sharon A Costianes, GCFP offer deep relaxation and improvement to your body's movement and function. 

Using gentle touch in addition to words, Sharon teaches your body to move more efficiently.  This allows you to overcome chronic pain and discomfort, while improving your overall sense of well being.

Functional Integration® sessions teach you the means to take charge of your own improvement.

FI sessions are especially useful for persons who might benefit from more individualized attention, or who desire more focused work.
