“Discovering Fritha’s classes and individual hands-on sessions has been a joy for me. Her encouragement to sense the very beginning of a movement is conveyed so clearly and with such kindness, that I have the space to learn where I feel the support from the ground and from my skeletal structure. Rather than focusing on muscular holding, I love this other system of support being illuminated by gentle, practical movements. Fritha’s hands-on work feels well grounded in her experience and knowledge of the body. Her sensitive touch allows me to move and breath in new ways, invited to a place where everything is light. I highly recommend her work and classes.”
– Joyce, bodywork practitioner

“Fritha introduced me to EFT in a unique atmosphere of empathy and professionalism. In her work, Fritha gracefully walks the fine line between making me feel taken seriously without creating any ‘heaviness’. On the contrary, Fritha’s EFT work suggests curiosity, self-respect and self-knowledge as viable strategies to sustainably process and heal challenges. I deeply trust Fritha’s expertise and although the EFT work with her addresses ‘road-blocks’ in my life, I am always looking forward to working with her and am left feeling ready for growth, empowered and joyful after our sessions.”

“Feldenkrais class feels like participating in a slow-moving, gentle, personal revolution of consciousness. Every class feels like a movement meditation that I get to take something useful away from.”

“We joined Fritha’s Dance for Parkinson’s class 3 (or 4?) years ago, soon after she started it in Northampton. We immediately found it not only helpful but fun. She challenges us to move in more rhythmic and expansive ways and is continuously composing new routines that ease the typical progression of the disease, be it constricted movement and expression issues, balance difficulties, or lowered energy and fatigue. She encourages every individual in our group—those with PD and caregivers–week after week. Her personal warmth and joy in movement are a deep gift to us all. We plan to stay dance with her as long as we can.”
– Ed Blatchford and wife, Claire.

“I was suffering from significant hip pain when I went to see Fritha. As a massage therapist I am accustomed to very firm manipulation and compression, which I was not particularly looking forward to, but Fritha’s touch was completely painless and very gentle. Her movements and techniques are precise, specific, and very subtle, and at the end of just that session I had a significant reduction in my pain. After a few more sessions later I was pain free and have been ever since.
Fritha is an excellent listener, so knowledgeable, and explains what she finds and what she does so well that I gained a whole new awareness of my muscles. I was both treated for my pain and given an education, which has been invaluable to me in my body mechanics. I highly recommend Fritha to anyone who is suffering from any kind of pain, especially when doctors and physical therapists can’t get to the bottom of the problem.”
– Stacy Every, Licensed Massage Therapist

“I cannot explain exactly how Fritha’s work works, but I can say her quality of presence alone, to hold space for whatever is happening, is powerful medicine. Above and beyond that, her high level of skill and quality of touch as a Feldenkrais practitioner allowed my very unsettled nervous system to find its way home, to its place of more balance, felt-strength, and safety.”
