Testimonial
“The lessons stay with me to this day.”
I have been an opera singer for the past 25 years. Naomi taught me the connection between proper posture and a better, fuller, and freer vocal production. Beyond being an exceptional teacher, she is also a teacher for life. There seems to be no limit to her professional knowledge, her dedication, and the integrity with which she works.
The work
Twenty-five years of listening to bodies.
With over 25 years of experience in movement education based on the work of Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, including assisting Mind Body Studies professional trainings across Europe and Asia, and a deep background collaborating with personal trainers, I specialise in the mechanics of injury prevention, functional performance, and structural efficiency.
As a mother and specialist with 10 years of experience in Montessori education and parent guidance, I provide highly specialised, gentle, and effective developmental support for infants and children.
Whether working with an elite athlete, an opera singer, or a developing child, my goal is the same: measurable improvement in ease, strength, and comfort.
Lineage & training
Grounded in decades of somatic research and practice.
- Feldenkrais Method
- A mindful approach to somatic education that taps into neuroplasticity—the brain's natural ability to restructure itself and learn new patterns. Drawing on decades of research in physics, neuroscience, biomechanics, learning theory, and human development, it shifts attention to how you move, dissolving old habits of tension and chronic stress so you can function with lasting ease and efficiency.
- Mind Body Studies
- Assistant on professional trainings across Europe and Asia, deepening the somatic curriculum founded by Mia Segal—Feldenkrais' first assistant, collaborator, and associate.
- Child'space Method
- Certified in Child'space by Chava Shelhav, supporting infants' motor, cognitive, and communicative development through gentle, Feldenkrais-based guidance.
- Montessori Education
- Ten years of work with infants, children, and parents, bringing developmental insight into adult somatic practice.
- FAMO — Fascia Movement
- Training in fascia-focused movement, integrating connective-tissue awareness into somatic practice for greater resilience, mobility, and whole-body coordination.
Beyond the studio
A life of attention, on and off the mat.
I moved my practice to Cascais from Israel, drawn by the slower rhythm of the Atlantic coast, long walks with my dog, sea air, and the kind of quiet that lets the nervous system actually settle.
That same quality of attention is what I bring into every session. Nothing forced. Nothing hurried.
