I found Suzanne purely by accident one day at the club while stretching. I saw her working with one of her clients and doing strange movements with them. I finally asked her what she was doing, and she told me it was Feldenkrais. I took some initial private sessions with Suzanne to address the extreme stiffness, lack of fluidity, and balance that I had been experiencing despite my ongoing efforts at training and exercise. Between her private sessions and the group sessions I currently take with her. They have been life-changing. I found a level of fluidity, balance, and physical harmony that I had previously lacked. I have much more connectivity, physically and emotionally with my body than ever before. I highly recommend anyone struggling with balance, flexibility, and other degenerative issues pursue a Feldenkrais course with Suzanne. It has been transformative!

It is an ongoing story but Suzanne has helped me with increasing my body awareness and how to move my body in new ways that put less strain on me. I definitely recommend Suzanne. She is sensitive to individuals’ bodily concerns and is careful to prevent injury.

I have been experiencing painful upper arm and shoulder conditions caused by bursitis and tendonitis. I went to an orthopedic surgeon who prescribed cortisol shots and several Physical Therapy sessions, with limited success. I continued to experience pain and restricted motion in my right arm, which I rely on for work and painting. Then, I was told about the Feldenkrais Method. As it so happens, the Center has employed a certified Feldenkrais practitioner – Suzanne. Long story short – Suzanne has worked with me for several months, and slowly but surely -the pain has almost diminished, and my range of motion is almost fully restored. I continue to see Suzanne to work on my neck and knees, which have occasional discomfort and pain. I have learned a lot about my bad habits of sitting and walking, which often contribute to long-term pain that many experience as we get older. I highly recommend trying this method of treatment – but give it time. Results won’t happen quickly, but with patience and willingness to try alternative therapy – you will notice many improvements.

When we moved from Falls Church, VA, to Chadds Ford last summer, my husband and I were excited to find the Center. I was especially pleased to see that there was a Feldenkrais practitioner on staff who I could request as “my” Personal Trainer. I knew little about Feldenkrais from my many years of modern dance and yoga, but as an older adult with a history of the usual things, I approach new modalities with a lot of caution. Since working with Suzanne in both small group and individual sessions, I have found her to be very knowledgeable and smart in her movement approach. The work is challenging (in a unique Feldenkrais, good way), but she meets you where you are. I have definitely had improvement with my chronic aches and pains, range of motion, and in-the-moment awareness of how I use my body. I do not love working out, but I always look forward to my sessions with Suzanne!
