About
Jamie Golden
Jamie became a Feldenkrais convert after struggling with chronic pain for years, likely from a Lyme disease infection. After living in pain for so long, Feldenkrais offered a way back to an active and care-free life. Jamie is now stronger and more flexible than she has ever been after adopting a daily Feldenkrais practice. She has been pleased to discover that Feldenkrais makes her feel more emotionally regulated as well. Feldenkrais helped her discover that even her most deeply embedded patterns could be changed, which led to a life-long study of neuroplasticity and the transformative potential of the mind-body connection.
Jamie’s capacity to help people lies in her study, practical application, and deep understanding of the brain, neuroscience, and bio-mechanics.
Using confident but gentle touch, she encourages the nervous system to reorganize itself.
Jamie is a born healer. It is painful for her to see others suffer and she takes joy in helping people to live a pain-free and healthy life. She is honored to join people on their self-improvement and movement journeys.
“Most people have an intuitive sense that their physical pains and issues are related to more than just their physical body. I love to help people realize that they can move, and thus also behave and experience, in different ways. Feldenkrais is the most powerful therapeutic modality I have found to support empowerment and change.”
