Movement

Movement is educational and healing for all, whether a professional mover, a sports enthusiast recovering from injury, a stressed parent or an autistic child.

Movement patterns can contribute to comfort or dis-ease, allowing you to move easily for years or to move constantly in pain. We all have something to learn from understanding our own movement and we all have the potential and ability to make choices in how we move.

But what if I don’t move or like to move?
Everyone who is alive moves. In breathing we move, our hearts moves, our blood flows. In sitting absolutely still, there is movement occurring in your body just to keep you sitting “still” as the earth rotates on its axis.

Do you sit at a desk all day; does your body feel stiff, inflexible? Often you feel stiff and have aches and pains because you were in one position too long. For those of you who do not consider yourself movers, do not enjoy exercise, would rather curl up with a book or play a video game hunched over your phone or tablets, or computers, or perhaps you are in a wheelchair or have had a stroke.Jackie offers non-threatening fun classes and sessions in movement and body awareness for non-movers and limited movers, for children and adults and for you who just want to finally feel that you belong in your body. 

Whether you are young or old, athlete or busy mom, active or not, as well as those recovering from an injury or surgery,  movement offers something for everyone!

Jackie invites you to learn about your own movement and movement potential with her.
