Laura
Fortune Laura has a lifelong curiosity with what it is to be alive and how the relationship with the body directly affects experience. She finds yoga to be an amazing companion tool for this exploration on all levels: body mind and spirit. She has been a dedicated student of yoga since 1993. In addition to her yoga practice Laura loves to delve into this curiosity through painting, making sculpture and other bodymind investigations. She is deeply interested in the navigation of space between the two polarities of being, internal and external: the alive art of being present and connected. She feels incredibly fortunate for her teachers, past and present. She is certified through the yoga studio with Barbara Benagh (500hr) and continues to study with her regularly. |

"Innerfaith" simply means finding faith within. Faith's philosophy of healing is based on her own healing process and life exerpeince. She believes the root of healing of any kind lies in accepting and believing in your whole self body/mind/spirit. When you do, you naturally make healthy choices and understand that your experience is directly shaped by these choices. From this position of strength, you can heal the past and create the future of your dreams. The phrase "Integrative Healing Arts" reflects the philosophy that it is essential to explore all aspects of ourselves physical, mental, emotional and spiritual and integrate these parts into a comprehensive wellness program. My diverse training in talk, touch and movement therapies enables me to guide clients in weaving together all facets of their being using programs uniquely tailored for their healing and personal growth. Faith has studied holistic approaches to health for more than twenty years. As a teenager she encountered physical/psychological/emotional challenges that inspired her to develop her own unique approach to healing that addresses the total being. Today, as a powerful teacher and healer, Faith combines her life experience with professional training to offer a holistic and practical approach to well-being. She is a certified professional Acupressurist through the New England Institute for Integrative Acupressure. She earned her Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology from Antioch Graduate School, in Keene, New Hampshire. Faith also holds an advanced certification in addictions and works part-time at the Brien Center for mental health and substance abuse services in Pittsfield, MA. She also has a certification in Integrative Breathwork and Psycho-spiritual Facilitation and Soul-based therapy through the Eupsychia Institute, founded by Jacquelyn Small. Her strong background in dance and martial arts also contribute to her multi-faceted approach. Faith has practiced her special blend of life-enhancing gifts for more than 20 years in Shelburne Falls, MA. She also travels to share her wisdom through various workshops and classes. "This work, I
feel, is my soul?s work. I would be honored to assist you in your personal
transformation." |

She has taught across the U.S. to professional musicians, athletes, actors and professionals from all walks of life, as well as farmers, mothers, babies and small children. While Victoria works with a wide range of challenges from the merely nagging to neurologically diagnosed folks, to children who may have had a lot of medical intervention, or babies with lack of mobility, she is known for her intuitive abilities to meet people where they are and help them quickly allow something new and easier to enter their experience of themselves and their environment. This work, whether in private hands on sessions "Functional Integration lessons" or in the group "Awareness Through Movement"® classes, allows for people to reach their human potential for ease and grace, for pleasure and fulfillment. The Feldenkrais Method® is both very gentle and very profound. Many people assert it changes their lives more profoundly than anything they have previously experienced. And, it is fun!

practice in Northampton, MA. |
