“Movement is life. Life is a process. Improve the quality
of the process and you improve the quality of life itself.” -Moshe Feldenkrais

My name is Si Thacker and I am a Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner working in Olympia, WA. My private practice and classes are intended for a wide range of individuals with different interests, concerns, and desires. I work with people contending with chronic pain and/or neuromotor difficulties, recovering from accidents, or those simply wishing to improve their movement and function for personal performance or to avoid future injuries.

My approach with my students is to see each person for what they are ultimately capable of. Although presently you may be experiencing restrictions and difficulties, it is my job to look for the possibilities that may be available to you, and to guide you in a process of learning and discovery to find ways of making those possibilities into realities. Through this process movement is improved, restriction yields to freedom, and difficulty becomes potential.

What I find inspiring about practicing this approach is that I do not attempt to "fix" a problem, but rather create an educational environment in which you can learn about yourself, your existing patterns of movement, and new options that are available to you. This is done both by guiding movements through touch and verbal direction.

I teach regular public Awareness Through Movement^® classes and workshops as well as private Functional Integration^® lessons. I am also available to come to your space and address your group (class/medical center/business/etc) about the Feldenkrais Method^® and the practice of Awareness Through Movement.
