“Thanks so much! It was truly amazing working with you. I felt very at ease in your presence, and I love your characterization of the Picasso moments! Now, as I move in my habitual way through the world, I am taking more time to stop and check in, consider how my body feels and adjust if something else feels better. “

“My Feldenkrais “lessons” as facilitated by Ms. Cutler, have helped me considerably in dealing with long-term, chronic back and hip pain. She has enabled me to appreciate and become more aware of the subtle pathways of connection between mind and muscle, top to bottom and side to side. This new awareness has improved and made more efficient my posture, my daily performance of simple routine tasks, and a remarkable ability to recover more quickly from stress and strain. All of this was accomplished while employing the most subtle, easeful and painless approach to movement rehabilitation I’m aware of. With results like I have had I am encouraged and excited to continue to see just how far I can progress in my own “awareness through movement”

“Feldenkrais lessons have helped develop my brain and body as an athlete, a thinker, and a mover in everyday-life. When I began having weekly lessons, I had a knee injury.  I play soccer multiple times a week, normally on very hard surfaces.  I wanted to learn how to strengthen my knee and prevent further injury.  I also wanted be faster.  Joanna verbally-led me through movements that made me aware of my bone structure and my tendencies as a mover.  She also manually handled and moved parts of my body in a way that showed what comes natural and what feels awkward.  At the end of each lesson, I felt I had learned something new about my body (and its connection with my mind).  I felt more free as a mover, I felt taller, and more in touch with the system of my whole bone structure.  I always left intrigued, never exhausted or bored.  Sometimes the movements felt like riddles for my brain.  I have learned skills that help me run, walk, sit, bend over, get up, carry things, etc. with amazing efficiency.  I am less prone to injury.  I am more comfortable in my skin.  I didn’t know what to expect with Feldenkrais, but I have learned a lot, and I use the movements every single day.”

“I’ve noticed a big improvement in my back.  I had a hereditary disposition for a bad back and had destroyed my lower lumbar discs and bones. I have worked with Joanna before and after back surgery, and I feel like Feldenkrais helped me recover quicker and prevent further damage. My muscles were so knotted up. I’m learning to use the larger muscles in my hips to support myself and relieve my low back from doing work for my entire body. By sitting differently and using awareness my back, neck and shoulders have finally relaxed.  Feldenkrais is not voo-doo.  It simply uses coordination, balance, and bio-mechanics.  It allows your body to move the way it was designed, and it is possible to improve, even after years of pain and poor posture.”
