I am 82 years old and used a cane for walking because of my fear of falling. After only a few of Margaret’s Feldenkrais class sessions, the balance and flexibility in my body has improved so much I am able to walk, climb up and down stairs, get in and out of chairs, and even get down and up from the floor with no assistance of any kind. My cane is retired! — Hester Roessler 4/2003

“My daughter Lani who is now 23 years old suffered severe brain damage at 18 and has been slowly relearning to function again ever since. Margaret has been working with her for 3 years and she slowly improves, after her Feldenkrais session each week she more alert, better balanced, can sit and stand differently, more feisty! More alive!” — Larry Yamada

“After spending the majority of the past year in a recliner and very little exercise, it hurt to stay in one position for much time. After one session with Margaret my body felt very relaxed and more fluid. My posture was greatly improved and I felt great! Since the first session I have not felt it necessary to lie down during the daytime. I find that I am able to stand and sit for much longer periods of time with less discomfort.” — Susan Ramsdell, 1/24/2002, diagnosed with fibromyalgia and connective tissue disease
