In 2002, after a routine
mammogram, I had a diagnosis of estrogen positive breast cancer, followed promptly
by surgery and treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy.I first met Rosemary Kerrison at Encore and Dragons Abreast, in 2003. In September last year, I attended the current Encore group (with Rosemary, still there, offering her work from her huge heart!) to teach a taster Awareness Through Movement class and give some information about how the Feldenkrais Method can help in recovery from Breast Cancer.
A diagnosis of
breast cancer and its treatment turns our world upside down, and many of us are
faced with an unexpected journey of change, self-discovery and healing.
Recovery is truly a hero’s
journey.
In the last couple of years, I have developed
a special series of lessons for women recovering from Breast Cancer. The
lessons help cultivate enhanced vitality, deep relaxation, greater flexibility
and feelings of wellbeing and comfort. I know from my own experience, that the movements help one recover a feeling
of wholeness, encourage integration of the body and mind and bring about a
confidence that change, and therefore healing, is possible.
I teach in a range of
settings: at the Hobart Women’s Health Centre, Bellerive Quay Health Hub and
Hobart Breathing Space. I work individually with all kinds of clients: children
with CP, MS and Parkinsons’ sufferers, people with all kinds of difficulty with
mobility and aches and pains.
The lessons I teach in the Feldenkrais
Method are very gentle, and help engender the capacity to be compassionate and gentle in our
movement and our thought processes.
