Can tomorrow be
better than today?
I think it can! Scroll down to see why…
Hey, I'm Andréa Pallotto
I am a certified Feldenkrais Practitioner in Montréal
About seven years ago I was lot in pain, depression and anxiety. Every method I tried only pushed me father away from my goal of not suffering anymore. Everything felt hard and I was convinced I was destined for a life in pain
Everything changed after I found Feldenkrais. This method taught me to be kinder to myself, it helped me listen to myself and my goal of not suffering anymore changed to a goal to be happier. I still have my ups and down; like everyone. But I am no longer controlled by harmful habits.
Since finding more ease in life, I have also started teaching this work to others. I offer group classes and private lessons.
and private lessons
"I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the work we are doing together. I have been believing my body is defective for some time now, especially after the stroke. I had a difficult time “listening” to my body because I did not trust what it had to tell me. Slowly, this belief is changing and I am coming home (for lack of better words) to my body. I am very grateful. Thank you so much."
Awareness through movement group classes
Let me help you feel rejuvenated.
Weekly LIVE in Person and Online classes where you are guided through a sequence of movements which are scientifically tailored to create opportunities for learning new ways of moving.
These gentle explorations open huge possibilities for growth in every way possible! You feel more grounded, pain isn’t central in your life, you feel taller, more confident.
Classes are online and in person. You can subscribe to my Patreon for less money and access to all my lives + past classes or buy a 6 class package to one of my lives.
Functional Integration
Individual Lessons
Let me take care of you.
Your are guided through gentle non-invasive movements which align your system to move better and easier. After a lesson, you will feel taller and more grounded. My students often find that they experience ease doing daily tasks and have more energy throughout the day!
I am currently taking clients in my home office in Petite-Patrie.
Sounds fun? Here are the benefits
Musicians, dancers, artists; they all flock to Feldenkrais. People working on computers, driving machinery, manual labour; all these tasks require repetition. Repeating movements constantly means prioritizing that function over others. Overtime, you can lose other functions. That’s where we come in. After a lesson, students find they’ve performed better and easier. We took what they already do, and we made it easier.
This method has offered me a new way of learning; Organic. Now, I know that word is so overused, but really it just means, you learn by doing. And its in the process that the learning becomes…well learnt and sticks. So how do you learn organically? By following the process, not pushing for a goal and respecting yourself. Letting yourself fall, make mistakes, laugh and enjoy the process. This will lead to respecting your capacities, abilities and choices.
Let me be the first to say, I can’t cure you. But I can help you to recognize your own patterns. I can help you be curious about what you are dealing with. And I can reinforce the positives. Is your left shoulder hurting? Well, I’ll “talk” to the right one, find out what you’re doing and show your left side that you can do that too. In Feldenkrais, we empower the positive, the easy and the simple. Then, it’s up to you to do the rest. With ease, you can rework your system.
