“Susan is an inspirational teacher for me about how to live in my body. From the grace and presence of her own carriage to the perceptive exploration and touch of her Feldenkrais work, I am learning with her to find my way to move with greater freedom, aliveness, ease, and strength.”

Mary Killian, MFT somatic psychotherapist

“My 12-year old son suffered for over two years with ongoing pain from an ankle fracture. After three sessions with Susan and a little at-home practice, his pain ceased, and it hasn’t returned. We are both so grateful!”

Lisa Ludwigsen, Owner of the School Garden Company

“Susan, I think your work is incredible and hope that when I arrive in Oregon there will be someone as skilled, kind and mindful as you. Thank you for your good work — I wish I could take you with me.”

Sheila Swan Laufer

“Susan’s gentle strength and presence, combined with her open heart and ability to connect, make her an exceptional practitioner.  I’ve experienced wonderful body changes from her group classes and relief of the discomfort of a 30 year old upper back injury from a one-on-one session with Susan.”

Spencer Nassar, Futurist, Technologist and Entrepreneur

“On December 4, 2010, the Yolo County Transportation District, and its bus contractor, Veolia Transportation Services, Incorporated, engaged Susan to provide Feldenkrais® training to some 70 drivers, mechanics, utility workers, supervisors, and office workers of our two organizations. After the group sessions, Susan also made herself available for one-on-one sessions, which proved beneficial to those who chose that option.

During the course of her program, she taught employees, including me, how to apply a series of body movements in such a way as to greatly increase the flexibility and visibility of all of those involved, without inflicting pain or discomfort on any of us. This training assisted everyone in understanding and comfortably expanding their range of motion, helping them to become more aware of their surroundings. I heard positive comments from several employees, including those who found physical relief after Susan’s sessions.

Susan used extreme sensitivity in the way she continuously emphasized safety and comfort throughout the training. She created a warm, nurturing environment and displayed such a positive, responsive demeanor that all attendees participated. We hope to continue working with her in the future in our efforts to improve the well-being of our employees.

I highly recommend Susan Hammond.”
