Client Testimonials
Jump To: Lauri Weinstein • Josh Schreiber Shalem • June LaPointe Lauri Weinstein"Lauri Weinstein worked with my six year old kindergartner for half a year. Not only are her methods very effective, but she is patient, kind and loving. It was an absolute pleasure to deal with her on all levels." “It was a pleasure working with Lauri. Kind, thoughtful, professional, competent, creative, fun are some of the words that come to mind. She took genuine interest in my son. He enjoyed working with her too!” “Lauri's patience, motivation and knowledge has been crucial in turning our
child, who is very difficult to engage and manage, into an active
participant in her therapy sessions. Lauri is flexible in understanding
the particular needs of the individual whom she is working with, without
compromising the subject of her therapy sessions. We are very pleased with
the results of her work.” “As a 57 y/o male with the need to manage a neurological movement disorder that affects my left side, I was referred to Lauri Weinstein two years ago. After more than six months of weekly Feldenkrais lessons I learned an incredible amount about how my body moves, and about alternatives I never imagined. The result is that I have enough knowledge to manage my symptoms, and I was able to transition immediately to a yoga practice that deepened the lessons Lauri taught me. I am deeply grateful.” “My daughter has right Hemiplegia and has been working with Lauri for about a year and a half. She has been wonderful and helpful.” “Not only does Lauri know her Feldenkrais well, in both class and one-on-one settings, but she also creates a very pleasant environment in which to learn.” “Our son suffered a severe cardiac arrest and lost the ability to walk and talk clearly. For the past 5 months he has had Feldenkrais lessons twice a week. His speech and posture improved after receiving just two Feldenkrais sessions. Today he can walk and he continues to make steady gains.” “I’ve tried so many different types of therapies to relieve my aches and pains, and I always end up feeling that they just gave me a fish. Which is great, but then I’m hungry the next day. Lauri actually teaches me how to fish; making me part of the process and the solution. That’s very empowering. I’d recommend Easy Does It to anyone looking for positive change that’s going to stick.”
Josh Schreiber Shalem“I have been learning and benfiting from Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement since 1978. Of all the ATM practitionners I have studied with, Josh Schreiber's work has been the most profound. Josh has a gift for pacing and adjusting his ATM lessons to a group and for teaching without allowing his own ego to interfere. He leads one through movement lessons in a way that facillitates inward focus and discovery. I always look forward to another class with Josh.” “I feel so deeply blessed to have found Josh at the Arlington Center, and truly appreciate not only Moshe Feldenkrais' work, but HIS presence in this work. He is sensitive, thorough, sincere, gentle, kind, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and an emotionally safe person for me to work with as I continue to learn about how my body works and how it works best with the least stress and strain. Thanks So Very Much!!!” “I have learned so much about the intricate connections within my body from this Feldenkrais work, it's hard to know where to begin. At my most recent lesson, I felt an amazing sense of freedom in my right hip after feeling stiff and in pain from whiplash due to a recent car accident. At my first lesson after this car accident, I remember how sensitive I was to any movement or touch in my back and right side, especially this right hip, where I was feeling deep joint pain. It surprised me how free and open my hip joint felt after that most recent lesson. I woke up the next morning without limping around in pain. My hip didn't know what to do without it's automatic expectation of pain. A happy surprise. “I now have a fuller hope and expectation that there are ways to learn how to move my body through the world that supports me, rather than causing more and more unintentional strain.” “Josh introduced me to the Feldenkrais Method two years ago, when I had been plagued by injuries and various conditions requiring physical therapy. Josh's Awareness Through Movement sessions helped me to correct harmful habits and to avoid further injury. His gentle approach and common sense struck just the right note, and his recommendation of Feldenkrais materials further advanced my knowledge of the method. Many thanks, Josh!” “Josh worked with me to address some of the difficulties I'd been having with my sciatica. His approach is great, and he is a careful and sincere practitioner. Through my sessions with Josh, I found new perspective in both looking at my problems with pain, and in new movements to help alleviate it.” “Feldenkrais (Awareness Through Movement) is simple. Anyone can do it, and Josh's clear instructions make it even easier. But the effects of Feldenkrais are surprisingly deep and complex. I unexpectedly find myself moving differently, in ways that make more sense and feel better. Sometimes the changes are subtle — I stand or sit more comfortably, or reach effortlessly for something. Sometimes the changes are more dramatic — I dance differently, with more confidence and presence. The change comes from the inside, so the new way of moving just happens, without my thinking about it or trying. I've taken many classes with Josh and look forward to more — he's a wonderful, dedicated, and encouraging guide on this astonishing path.” “I've taken many classes with Josh and look forward to more — he's a wonderful, dedicated, and encouraging guide on this astonishing path.” June LaPointe"After a private session and a series of weekly classes, my balance and flexibility are improved, my knee buckling has almost disappeared,
I am able to walk with no pain for at least two miles or more and my right toe and knee are aligned without my consciously thinking about it." "June LaPointe's knowledge, experience, attentive observations, and most importantly, her healing/therapeutic touch works in a way that has provided me with immediate relief as well as longer term strategies to overcoming persistent physical ailments." "I just returned home from a pain-free, two-mile walk on terrain that as recently as two days ago caused me to fear that I was a candidate for knee surgery. Following a "spill" that resulted in a dislocated left fibula, I remained wobbly and unable to walk briskly, let alone run - even after six months of twice-weekly rehab plus several months of follow-on. And yet, today, for the first time in a year, I was undaunted by hills and uneven terrain. I even forgot myself and simply enjoyed the blessing of being outdoors. How did this come about? Schedule an appointment with June, and you'll find out. Clearly, she has a grasp of the body miraculous. Upon observing my predicament, she taught me a simple, 10-minute exercise so that now I can practice a little miracle of my own. Thanks a million, June." "June is a masterful teacher. She is sensitive, listens and responds with great care and integrity and creates a safe and comfortable learning environment. She honors students' inherent body wisdom and supports and encourages the exploration of this knowledge to inform our growth and progress. Drawing from her extensive training, she is able to suggest unique solutions to the particular needs of each student." "I just love the way June teaches. She is always open to our questions and explains the meaning of each movement which is very important. She gives us lessons so we can do them at home. I look forward to her class every week. Thank you, June". "I find June to be an excellent teacher. She is organized in her presentations and facilitates lessons in a manner which meets the needs of the students as a group while honoring the abilities of each individual student. June respectfully challenges and encourages each student to do her/his best while ensuring a safe environment." "June is a very compassionate teacher who takes each individual's needs into account in her classes. In my work with June, I've developed a greater awareness of my movements. I'm on the way to regaining my optimal alignment and avoiding repetitive injuries." |
