Feldenkrais, and working with Hannah Vo-Dinh specifically, are among the the greatest gifts I have ever given myself. As someone who has engaged in nearly every type of bodywork imaginable due to my profession, I am confident in saying that this work is not only a game changer, but life changing. Hannah’s expertise, dedication to her clients well-being and compassionate style of communication have provided a rejuvenation and transformation I didn’t even realize was possible. I am filled with gratitude.

Suffering from bursitis, osteoarthritis and tendinitis, I scheduled a series of private sessions which I credit with two years of pain relief and normal functioning. Recently, when I learned I would need a knee replacement, I scheduled a series of private sessions. These sessions eased my pain and I felt greater comfort in my whole body. Hannah is a masterful teacher and coach who guides students with patience and humor. Sessions with her are therapeutic and meditative. I am grateful for the privilege of practicing Feldenkrais with Hannah.

Before finding Feldenkrais, I was suffering with chronic pain in my ankles, knees, hips and shoulders as well as extreme nerve pain on a daily basis. I struggled to find relief through a variety of different modalities, and found that nothing seemed to last. Learning Feldenkrais from Hannah through a combination of online sessions and online classes has made all the difference. Where I used to be in pain daily, now I frequently go days or even weeks without pain! And, when I do have pain now, I’m empowered to address it myself with amazing results. The private sessions are especially helpful - they have accelerated my recovery and helped me get more out of the classes too. Plus it’s so convenient to be able to participate from home. I’m so grateful for what I’ve learned from Hannah!

Hannah Vo-Dinh, expertly utilizing the Feldenkrais method and her own intuitive, gentle, extraordinary presence, has contributed to a deeper level of somatic awareness, healing, and well-being then I have ever experienced in my life. I heartily endorse her to anyone seeking the same results for themselves.

A sense of curiosity and a search for relief from back and foot pain led me to begin participating in Feldenkrais sessions led by Hannah Vo-Dinh. I have been taking group classes two times a week for several years and a few months ago I begin to receive private sessions from Hannah. My understanding of Feldenkrais is this: After intially becoming aware of our bodies, participants are guided to make very small muscle movements. The goal, over time, is to enable the different parts of the body to work together in an integrated way, as opposed to having one part of the body resisting what another body part is doing. This peaceful, gentle practice has done wonders for my physical and inner well being.

I have have had increasing shoulder pain for many years. I am a violinist and the pain was becoming so strong that I began to consider giving up playing. I also garden but the pain in my shoulder and left arm was taking away that pleasure as well. I went to one private Feldenkrais session with Hannah Vo-Dinh. When I left the pain was gone and it has not returned. I highly recommend anyone with shoulder pain give this a try. To me, it seemed nothing short of miraculous.

Working with Hannah 1:1 to improve my multiple sclerosis has been wonderful. My weekly Feldenkrais sessions have been instrumental in retraining my nervous system. I’ve improved my range of motion, strength, mobility, and balance while becoming more in tune with my movement patterns. It’s been a great addition to my wellness regimen.

A private session is a wonder. I feel a shift in my body after I leave the session. I am lighter, clearer and definitely straighter. It’s retraining my body and it keeps changing. I love this stuff.

Just had to let you know that I ran this evening with a great deal more ease than previously. The first mile I was usually gutting it out until my body warmed up. But today I simply rolled into the workout and completed two hilly miles, only walking briefly at the top of one hill. I didn’t have to focus intently on form either; my body found the form that worked for it. So grateful to you and Feldenkrais! Feel like I’ll be able to reliably enjoy running again!!!

I’ve found Hannah to be an incredibly skilled and intuitive healer. After one private session I experienced a dramatic improvement in my sense of well-being and movement, particularly in my shoulder, which has had limited range of motion for over a year. Additional private sessions are leading to better awareness of how I move. I can feel more fluid and comfortable patterns developing, and much more mobility in other joints. The private sessions focus on personal issues and goals and are making the classes more effective.
