About
I've been a bodymind practitioner for 31 years, and I have a lot of experience with different issues concerning the interface of the mind in the body.
Having worked with myself since I was 14 to cure and correct my scoliosis, I understand the dedication it takes to make changes within one's self and try to inspire my students to see efforts made in that direction as an adventurous journey.
I enjoy seeing the light go on in my students when they get something. And the great thing about that is that the experience is now theirs! They know what it took to let whatever it was to happen, so they can repeat the process consciously.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I address their postural and movement patterns in the process of the lesssons. I inform them that it takes time to make more than superficial change and to be patient with themselves. Bodymind work is not like ordering a pizza!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been a bodymind practitioner of many modalities for 31 years. I began as a massage therapist and was certified in CranioSacral Therapy, Reiki, Yoga, BodyMindCentering, the Alexander Technique and more.
Having worked since I was 14 to cure my own scoliosis that I accomplished, I understand the interface of the bodymind and of the importance of understanding the affects on the body of the mind.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
For a first lesson it's $100, and following lessons $80, but if you buy a 9 Lesson package, it goes down to $75.
How did you get started teaching?
As most people begin something, is because of their own curiosity and need to study. I began as a continuation of my curiosity of the bodymind interface.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with children aged 11 to 77 with their posture and behavioral habits.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I'm working with an older woman who has a severe lordosis, who is showing signs of her spine lengthening and more stability and balance.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I don't teach groups right now. I teach privately in my studio in Manhattan's East Village. You have to come to my studio because I have all the tools I need here, like massage table, mats, and yoga props.
I wish people to be serious about what they are inquiring about and curious about studying themselves.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Are they serious and dedicated to answering their curiosity about the issues they want to explore?
Are they in it for a deeper understanding of themselves or for superficial reasons of improving their appearance? If it's the latter, they need not seek my help. If it is the former, I am here to help with issues of pain, anxiety, trauma, disassociation, scoliosis or spinal distortions and pain. Let's get to work!
