"Kevin is a natural teacher and loves sharing his passion for Feldenkrais.
I have taken his workshops and classes and am recently getting regular one on one sessions with him twice a month and am loving how free and easy I am feeling in my body.
My posture is changing and I am finding I feel my weight sink into my mattress at night that is like a long lost memory of how my body can relax. My head feels like a bobble head after a session.
I have been using the recordings from the classes and am familiar enough with some of the lessons to be able to have a daily 30 minute practice which helps me maintain what I’m getting from the individual lessons.
I’m 62 and am thrilled with how limber and flowy my body feels, the stiffness is melting away and I enjoy how all the different parts of me are linking up and participating in how I walk and move."

The "Playful Power" class with Kevin has been a delightful discovery process! I have experienced significant improvements with whole body movement, fullness of breath and posture, and softening of chronic restrictions that I imagined were set due to aging and arthritis.
I really savor each class recording that I can play at home to refine the whole body integration that has enriched my life.
I want to express my deepest appreciation and gratitude to Kevin for his caring and articulate guidance, and his mastery of this powerful and transformative approach, delivered in a fun, insightful, and professional way.

"The movements last night were difficult for me but by the end of class I was doing them with much more ease. I appreciate you continued encouragement and tips. Everything slowly fell into place.
I use movements from the very first class many times during the day.... God bless you for sharing your talents and knowledge that helps so many people.

Participants in "Moving out of Pain" class series shared these benefits:
- Freedom in my rib cage
- I notice an improvement in mobility after these sessions
- less pain in my body
- It helped my lower back so much in one lesson
- I have a lot of tension in my rib cage, my neck and upper back were very relaxed afterward .…
- it targeted my hip weaknesses and I was able to work through some of them - surprizingly..
- Felt stronger with daily walk after this lesson
- There is more balance … more grace with myself and my body to move in an enjoyable way.
- I feel more calm, more purposeful. my focus and balance have improved.
- Definitely noticing subtle shifts in the way I move…. I am working on writing a portion of my trauma story and I know that the Feldenkrais is helping me access both the memories, the healings, and the capacity to hold and move on from trauma.
- I am overall less restless with pausing, more connected with my skeletal system supporting my movement and less relying on pure muscular strength.
- I just feel better after I go to class
- I walk every day and enjoy playing with how I am interacting with the ground and with how much of my body wants to participate in walking. I try to relax and walk like a child would.
- My energy tends to want to float and I have a hard time grounding sometimes, the classes make me feel more grounded.
- it's certainly helping with my gait
- my body feels instantly different afterwards

I noticed immediate results from our zoom session together. My mom has been impressed by how much more easily her hips move when she walks.
My dad lessened pain in his knees coming up the stairs
