Happy Toes, Happy Feet...
Increase ease and comfort for your toes
Foot discomfort limits many of our daily activities and also those that bring meaning to our lives. In this series you will develop the awareness and knowledge to find more ease and comfort in the feet and thus in standing and walking
This course has four lessons that cover many of the basic ways you can increase your awareness of your toes so that your standing, walking and sitting become easier.
One lesson is quite short (18 minutes), and the are closer to one hour. All involve moving in gentle, easy ways. Most lessons are done on the floor, and most are done lying down, but a few require some degree of sitting. When you stand and walk at the end of each lesson, you will discover substantial differences!

My first love was maths and sciences, leading to systems analysis – human and also computer systems. This led to a Masters in Educational Measurement, followed soon after with training in biofeedback at the California Pain Control Centre in Long Beach, California.
These studies opened a thirst for broader study, from massage, Reiki, energy systems, yoga and Tai Chi. I was always deeply drawn to the practice of mind-body integration and found that training in the Feldenkrais Method® gave me the best grounding in this way of being in the world. I graduated from my four-year Feldenkrais training program in 1991 and have maintained a private practice since.
I love working collaboratively and have volunteered for many years. I enjoyed being President of the Feldenkrais Guild of North America and have also had the opportunity to contribute to the International Feldenkrais Federation (IFF).
My interest in all things digital have intertwined with my Feldenkrais interests. I was an early adopter and advocate of online teaching (even before the Covid-19 2020/21 pandemic. This has been an important combination of skills as co-organizer of the Kelowna Feldenkrais Teacher Training that began online in 2021.
