Practice details:

Holly Huon (MAFG) offers:

On contact, we make and initial appointment to discuss the concepts and the presenting condition, difficulties, wishes, goals and requests and have a hands on experience of the Feldenkrais Method®. The outcome of this will determine ongoing work which may be a short (4 to 6 sessions) or ongoing programme. We will also be discussing materials to borrow, resources and participation in group classes.

Holly's practice core beliefs are to meet someone where they are, make contemporary concepts clear, active listening and offer the work in a very gentle systematic manner that leads people to really engage with the essential elements of the Feldenkrais Methodology and practice. In this way, once people's interest is ignited Holly supports them in applying the work in their everyday life and thereby to realize a full and rich life.

She retains her passion for the ability of a person to generate choice and change for themselves no matter how complex and difficult their situation is. She is consistently excited about the advances in neuroscience that are now proving that the brain can change itself, neuroplasticity, the implications of which can lead people to unforeseen and often rapid improvement, hope and greater autonomy.

The Feldenkrais Method®

The Feldenkrais Method®, developed through 40 years of research by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, is a revolutionary approach to understanding human functioning. It utilizes movement and attention as the vehicles for enhancing our natural abilities to learn, to change and to continue to grow throughout our lives.

There are two main modalities of learning in the Feldenkrais Method®:

Awareness Through Movement® lessons are a series of structured movement sequences that groups of people are led through verbally, utilizing attention, perception and imagination (to read an example of part of an Awareness Through Movement® lesson, click here).. The movements are usually done lying down or sitting and at a pace and range that honours each participant. The major criteria for the quality of movement is comfort, ease and the development of each person's inner authority.

Functional Integration® is a hands on modality specifically designed to meet the needs of an individual and is usually conducted as a private session. The practitioner, primarily through the use of his/her hands, guides the student towards a new or more varied use of themselves. The student is usually lying down or sitting and is fully clothed. The quality of touch is non invasive, informative and interactive in nature.

Applications and Benefits of the Method

The applications of the method are on a broad continuum ranging from reduction of pain and improving mobility, personal growth and transformation to performance enhancement of professional athletes, dancers, musicians and actors. It has shown itself to be effective with neurologically based movement difficulties, learning disabilities, and is applicable to anyone wanting to improve the quality of their everyday life and activities. Holly has considerable skill and experience for those recovering from personal injury or living with complex medical conditions. 

Benefits include: improved functioning, regained curiosity, increased vitality, enhancement and shifts in one's self image, changes in breathing, posture, flexibility, range of motion and reduction of pain...

By bringing our attention back to the process of what we are actually doing we feel lighter, more graceful, tend to look and feel younger and our intentions are more accurately brought into action.
