Margaret Mayo
I have been involved with the Feldenkrais Method since it was first introduced into Australia in the mid 1980s. From the beginning, with a background as an experienced neuro-physiotherapist, I was transfixed by the marrying of Mind and Body into one modality: that is, we are human, not divided into sections and subsections.
