“Donna did not approach my situation by just working on relieving the pain in my over worked hands and arms. Through Functional Integration sessions with her, I became aware of how I moved in life…how I performed tasks and how I held my body based on behavior patterns that have not always resulted in efficient ways of moving. What started out as a way to restore health to my hands and arms led to tending to the whole situation of my life. The world of the Feldenkrais Method has plenty to offer if we are willing to be open and bring awareness into our lives.”

~ Carmen Dove
I.T. Analyst / Project Manager

“Donna taught me all this knowledge about my body and myself with this subtle and patient technique and it makes me want to apply subtlety and patience to the rest of my life, too. It’s become so obvious to me that when you stop and take the time to really pay attention you can find the most efficient, healthy, and rewarding solution to probably everything.”

~ Hafsa Malik,
Pilates Instructor

“Functional Integration® work with Donna has had an unexpected effect on my entire life. I came to Donna for relief from physical pain and I have found that directly because of my work with her I am becoming the woman I have always wanted to be. In my sessions with her I am finding patience, empowerment, freedom of movement and in all ways important I am finding my own smooth stride in life. “

“First and foremost, Feldenkrais® work with Donna relieves me from constant pain. Secondly, it reorganizes my body, my thoughts and emotions, allowing me a wider range of physical use and mental perspectives. When I feel down or blue, when I lack energy and a sense of hope in my life, Feldenkrais® sessions stabilize me, reminding me not to judge myself and to take small steps as I learn how to walk through my life.”

~Beate Schulz
Student & Mother

“I am an older softball player and although I’m constantly trying to improve my game I had reached an impasse. It seemed that no matter how much I practiced my game would not improve; sometimes it seemed to get worse. However, as soon as I started taking Donna’s Feldenkrais® classes, my game started improving dramatically. I noticed a strong correlation with attending classes and my game performance. I think it is partly due to increased coordination and flexibility and partly due to a more positive and relaxed mind set, all of which I attribute to Donna’s class.”

~Jerry Bohm
Chemist & “Softball Junkie”

“I felt GREAT after that session on Saturday. I was so loose and flexible, it was totally amazing. Like trying on a new body. Yesterday, I went on one of my favorite hikes and went for a swim in Bass Lake. This is something I used to do every summer but I have not been able to do for the last 3 or 4 years. I am so grateful to be doing the things I love again. Feldenkrais has totally changed my life. Thanks for being such an awesome teacher.”

~Patrick Collins

“After my first Feldenkrais® lesson with Donna, I went to the driving range to practice my golf swing and became pleasantly surprised. When I hit the ball, it felt like I grew a new body part, I just kept turning and turning!”

“Donna can literally “read” my baby. She is very gentle with him and doesn’t cause him any pain. She speaks to him like one would speak with an adult and he listens to her. She is very sensitive and positive and what she does works!”

~Lieba Masha Kamenetsky,
Mother of 6 months old baby boy, Shneur

“After only 6 weeks of Feldenkrais® sessions with Donna we could see positive changes in our one-year old daughter, who suffered brain damage at birth. After a few months it was obvious to us that Feldenkrais® is helping her to advance more than any other of her various therapies. Our daughter loves her Feldenkrais® sessions and she and Donna have developed a wonderful bond.”
