TESTIMONIALS
I cant believe how good I feel after one of Annes classes. I thought I would need to get yet another knee surgery and after two classes, I feel no pain! Whatever it is, it works for me!
C.T., Artist, 38
I had an ankle replacement three years ago and only after doing some Feldenkrais with Anne, do I feel that my walking has improved to where I want it. Im walking better now than I have in 23 years, and my back and neck feel great too.
A.G., Lighting Designer, 56
Since attending Anne's classes, I feel so much looser and my body is more available and my shoulders dont hurt as much. My body is relearning outside of class - which is amazing! Through hands-on lessons, Ive learned some key things about how I move that I wasnt able to see on my own, and Anne saw them. She is a fantastic teacher.

Due to an automobile accident, my bodys mobility was bad. After several sessions with Anne, my walk and stride is much improved.
P.M., Craftsman, 50
After my first session with Anne, it was the first time I could recall feeling physically perfectly balanced and grounded in my life. Subsequent sessions have me feeling like my body has the ease and flexibility I had as a child.

I was told I had arthritis in my ribs and was given medication. After one session with Anne, the pain went away and the drugs with in the garbage! S.W., Housewife, 66
Ive struggled with Sciatica for years and after 10 sessions with Anne, its gone.

My grandson (aged 10) had problems with his sense of balance -- he could not ride a bike or perform other functions that involved proper balance. After 2 one-hour sessions with Anne Roberti, he phoned and exclaimed: Guess what, Grandma? I can ride my bike! He not only accomplished what we had hoped for in riding his bike, but his self-confidence rose by mega-points -- we are delighted with Annes work.
J.S., Grandmother, 62
We really valued the work Anne did with us, and we all continue to benefit from it months later. I highly recommend Anne for her knowledge, her understanding and her wisdom!

My son Robert, age 15, has had focusing problems in school and has often had a difficult time in accomplishing homework and organizing himself at home and school. Robert is a child who hates typical "talking" therapy. Anne was highly sensitive to his opinions, typical blocks, and personal needs. I was thrilled and reassured by her ability to deal with him in such a positive, productive way to help him open up and become more effective at being the best he could be in the world. He became more steady, sure, open, involved, and happy. I think she's here to help the kids that most people just don't "get" or know how to help.

Anne really listened and was sensitive to my needs. Her work helped me bear the pain of intense contractions during labor and gave me an awareness of certain parts of my body that helped me let go where I needed to let go and push where I needed to push.
K. S., elementary school teacher, 33
Anne's work is subtle and magical. In minutes I let go of an unconscious
holding of my right side due to a recent wrist fracture. She is also the only person who ever made my arms feel light and long. I highly recommend her work.

Annes work following my total left knee replacement surgery helped me quickly gain strength and flexibility. I am more comfortable walking now than I have been for the past ten years. My ability in moving has improved more that I ever imagined.

I had two hip replacements. In the year after the surgeries, I had several sessions of hospital-based physical therapy; however, I experienced constant thigh and knee pain, general body weakness, and very compromised walking and balance. Ive worked with Anne, over the past three months. She has helped me immeasurably in pain reduction and increased mobility. Beyond her skillful modeling of skeletal awareness, Im learning to use body movement in a different way, with economy and increased mobility and without pain. I am beginning to feel strengthened and more at home in my own body.

After a few car accidents, my chiropractor referred me to Anne Roberti. She has a wonderful gift for healing. I was especially delighted with Anne's willingness to "go" anywhere with me, and her respect for my own ideas and intuition about my healing process. She did not ever discount my thoughts or feelings. Rather, she incorporated those ideas and thoughts into her plan for my treatment. In this way, I felt we were really partners in healing. Anne's treatment has made a huge impact on the quality of my life.
T. R., corporate executive, 36
Anne Roberti is an intuitive healer. Her insight and instruction have helped me unlearn some lifelong habits and realize new ways of movement. In work or in play, I now enjoy greater freedom of movement and less back pain than I have in years. I would recommend the Feldenkrais Methodand Anne in particular to anyone who wants to remember what it's like to move without pain.
D.C., graphic designer, 44
I learned a lot working with Anne mostly that I can do something for myself besides taking a Tylenol when I start to feel pain. Moving is a lot more easy now. I feel more comfortable in my body.
A.H, office worker, 24
After problems with my back for 15 years and having done everything I could think of, I tried Feldenkrais with Anne and was surprised not only by the relief I got after each session but that it was so non-invasive and gentle, my pain was alleviated and to my real surprise, weeks and months later my body was still re-educated. And these are pains that I didnt remember NOT having! Annes work has given me, for the first time in many years, the outlook that I have the possibility not to have to live with pain for the rest of my life. I cannot tell you what this means to me mentally, as well as physically.
V.C., software consultant, 39
I have been attending weekly and twice weekly sessions with Anne for three months. During this 12 week period, I have experienced a significant reduction in the chronic pain in my hip which I have had for 12 years. I have tried, chiropractic care, massage therapy, yoga, Pilates, homeopathy and naturopathy during the 12 years I have been in pain. Nothing has relieved the pain as quickly and effectively as Anne and Feldenkrais. The sessions have given me a new awareness of my body and enabled me to move in a way, which has offered a sustained relief from chronic pain.
L. A., interior designer, 51
When I stand up and walk around immediately following a Feldenkrais session, I usually feel unsteady and unbalanced, as if my body has forgotten how to walk. But after several minutes my body seems to re-organize itself, and suddenly I can walk with more ease and freedom than ever before.
L. D., Scientist, 29
Annes knowledge of functional anatomy really helped me see how my arm use habits were recreating my arm pain. Before a session, my arms felt like disconnected sticks, and after they move more harmoniously with my body.
S. P., Feldenkrais Practitioner, 41
I was suffering from carpal tunnel in my wrists and tendonitis in my arms, when I first met Anne. With her instruction in Feldenkrais, my body underwent amazing changes that allowed me to move in a way that no longer caused pain in my arms and wrists. I was able to return to all my usual activities, and years later I am still pain free and feeling great!
L.K., Scientist, 31
I think Anne is fun and nice. She worked on my back and how I can sit. It helped me. It stopped my neck pain and stopped my back from hurting. She helped me with my reading. Its hard to explain. Like when I laid down and she showed me how my back is when I read. It made my reading better.

Anne Roberti has helped me learn how to move better, how to listen to my body better, how to feel better!I used to have neck aches and lower back aches all the time. Approximately twice a year my back/neck would go out, causing me so much pain that I would need to lie down for several hours and take massive amounts of Motrin for several days. Since Anne has been working with me, I have not had a single one of these episodes! Even my cycling has improved thanks to her teachings! Anne not only has gifted hands, but a wonderful personal energy, which she brings to all her work and to all her clients. She has been a gift to me in my life for which I will be always grateful.
