Functional Integration® Lessons

Through the gentle, hands-on practice of FUNCTIONAL INTEGRATION®, we help you bring to awareness patterns of organization, holding and tension that inhibit easy functioning. It is not uncommon for people to laugh or, more rarely, cry, as these patterns come to light and are changed by the nervous system's innate ability to regulate the physical body. These emotional releases are almost always without the physical pain or emotional charge usually associated with them. Once a habitual pattern is disengaged, and other alternatives have been presented and absorbed, the nervous system is free to choose, and will pick the option best suited to the task at hand.

FUNCTIONAL INTEGRATION® is a time just for you, with every lesson uniquely tailored to your needs. It’s like a dance with the practitioner, a time for exploration and discovery, and for deepening your ability to listen with your innermost ear. Fully clothed (except for your shoes), you’ll lie or sit on a low padded table for most lessons, as you improve your ability to sense what you’re doing and learn new options for taking care of yourself.
