How many sessions are needed?

Feldenkrais can be compared to anything where organic learning – somatic learning (‘soma’ is a Latin root meaning ‘of the body’) - as opposed to academic learning - is involved. As with any holistic therapy, working with the whole person implies that there are numerous variants to be taken into consideration.
As with something like learning to play the piano, or to play tennis, some people only ever take one or two lessons. They will remain 'beginners'.
Others may become more curious, or smitten, and go on to ‘learn scales and chords’, or ‘how to serve and return as well as simply hit the ball’.
A few people go on to become professionals and the greater proportion probably fall somewhere in between.
With regard to the Feldenkrais Method, a lot depends on the needs or requirements of the individual concerned.
Different people seek or are happy with, different levels of improvement - and the reasons behind that are as numerous as the number of people who have them.
Generally speaking though, the number of attendances often reflects the depth of the presenting problem, and the level to which the individual wants to take it.

You are always welcome to book one session to try.  We generally recommend  taking three, at which point it is usually clear if more are needed; and often even how many more are needed, or whether continuing in classes or workshops would be more appropriate.
