Move and Feel Better -Feldenkrais Method- Eveline Wu, MA, GCFP

I started seeing Eveline for chronic low back and hip pain a few months ago. Thanks to her natural healing ability and warm disposition, I began feeling great and without pain almost immediately. I would highly recommend her as a feldenkrais practitioner!

I went to see Eveline for help with chronic jaw tension and low back/​hip pain. I have felt a shift after each treatment with her, as if she is reminding my body that it’s okay to be whole again and move as one being instead of a bunch of disassociated parts. Today I went in with this chronic ache in my low back that usually doesn’t respond to any sort of manual therapy, and I left pain free! Also, headaches have decreased from night time jaw clenching.
Eveline is a delight, with an easeful attentiveness to her work. She holds space for relaxation and trust, without being overly dramatic about it.

I really like working with Eveline! She helped me find some calm during the worst time in my life. I had originally started seeing her for pain in my neck (which she was able to help me with!), but her help was crucial to me during a time where I was having multiple health issues, my father had just passed away, and I was suffering from daily panic attacks. She was somehow able to communicate physically with my body and help it calm down. It was the ONLY place I was able to find some relief from the panic attacks. Amazing! I feel so relaxed during sessions with her and I really value that. I also appreciate that Eveline has recommended complementary practitioners when she though they could help me. Eveline is a fantastic person to talk with, as she has a lot of life experience and interesting things to share. She is also continuously learning and taking workshops, which I think is a great quality, especially with someone who is taking care of your body!

I can not tell you how amazing it feels to — actually feel like my health has improved. Family and friends have commented on my improvement because it is that noticeable ! Eveline has made such an impact and I encourage you to meet this amazing and thoughtful and truly talented practioner. She is incredible.

Eveline is a caring, natural healer with a real talent for understanding and helping with pain and movement problems. She will pay careful attention to your physiology and movement, and work with you on the table to re-​condition your nervous system to address the issue that causes pain. She also provides training and exercises to work on at home so you can gain better awareness of your body and how it moves — again so you can change the patterns that cause pain.
I went to Eveline four years ago after living with horrible back pain for almost a year. Doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, and acupuncturists were all of little or no help. Eveline literally changed my life and I could not recommend her more highly.

I had excruciating back and hip pain. After trying all the regular methods and found little relief — Physical Therapy, Chiropractic, Massage, Orthopedic Surgeon visits … I decided to try Feldenkrais when a friend told me how well it worked for her. I found Eveline through an internet search.
After only one session, my pain was reduced by 50%. It was unbelievable! I had been in pain for over a year. By working with Eveline over several sessions, the work changed my life. Eveline was the first and only professional to show me how I was sitting in a way that could produce pain in my back. She showed me how to sit naturally. This alone has significantly reduced the recurrence of injury. The feldenkrais work itself took care of the rest. The process is gentle yet extremely effective.
I cannot say enough great things about her. She listens exceptionally well, and then attends to the body with a kind of intuition that is rarely found. She even took the time on her day off to schedule an emergency appointment when I could barely walk.
If you’re in pain, go see her immediately. If you’re in moderate pain, go see her. Go see Eveline. She is amazing.

I worked with Eveline in the fall of 2014 and had great success with my work with her.
I work with computers and have had repetitive strain type injuries in my arms and wrists, as well as knee issues. I think it might be first useful to say — something that impressed me about working with Eveline and the Feldenkrais method is that it seemed to have long-​term effects in my body, and seemed to be qualitatively different than say massage or more traditional bodywork.
I mention this because one of the things I experienced while working with Eveline was becoming first-​hand aware of how much my low back and general back muscles were working. Even though that isn’t what brought me in! I would become aware of this at the beginning of a session and then on sitting up at the end feel a good deal of relief. What’s been neat is I’ve noticed changes in how I move and walk as well which feel lighter and easier that have held up – it didn’t just create a short term window of relief.
I really like working with Eveline. We were able to talk about the connections in terms of thoughts and emotions with the work we were doing — which I just thought was really interesting — and she is super professional and easy to schedule with.
All in all the thing that that has struck me the most about working with Eveline and other Feldenkrais work I’ve done is the long-​term change in the body, which I think is really interesting and genuinely fascinating.

I only tried Feldenkrais after I had tried every other form of treatment I could. Eveline patiently explained how it works. She listened patiently through all of my chronic pain woes. She even shared from her own experience with repetitive strain injury. I was going through a stressful time, and her incorporation of emotion work was very helpful. As a Feldenkrais practitioner, she amazed me by the improvements that I saw and felt. Though my primary symptoms continued, even after many sessions, she did help me to lay on my back more comfortably, which improved my sleep.

I had two broken legs after a horrible car crash and spent a month in the hospital. After three months in a wheelchair, I begin regular intensive physical therapy. After months of treatment, my leg would still not straighten all the way. Doctors and physical therapists said it may never be straighter.
After four sessions with Eveline my leg was already straighter. After three months of once a week visits, I’m walking better than I did before the crash. There is still some pain and stiffness, but it improves every day, and the mechanics of my body are cooperating in ways I didn’t even realize I had been missing.
Eveline’s warm, open personality and confidence in her skills creates an inviting, comfortable atmosphere, and she is constantly tailoring our sessions to my specific needs that week. If I mention having trouble with stairs, she knows what to start working on. When I said I was feeling stiff while driving, she came outside with me to check out my car and see what I could do differently. If I mention feeling stress about work or about driving, she offers tips for mental and physical relaxation.
She genuinely cares about helping people feel better, and clearly loves and believes in the work.
Half a year ago I had never heard of Feldenkrais. Now I mention it to anyone who I hear has pain or has been injured. And, if they live in the Bay Area, I always recommend Eveline.

The last of ten Feldenkrais sessions with Eveline occured around January 2012. I waited this long to write this review to insure that the back pain she was treating did not return.
Before seeing Eveline I had seen a medical doctor, a chiropractor, a physical therapist, an accupunturist, and a balance class to help with body alignment. All, at some time, provided a limited margin of relief.
By the third or fourth session with Eveline, however, I began to feel some definite improvement. I could now begin to do certain things on the tennis court as well as the golf course. At the completion of her recommended therapy I was completely pain free for the first time in over a year. My highest recommendation to Eveline.

I too found Eveline by searching on line for Feldenkrais.
and I bless all the lucky keystrokes that sent her to me!
I injured my neck and upper back at work and struggled through pain (and self pity) to build a much needed program at my hospital, while turning to alternative and western medicine for relief. Things only seemed to worsen until I began to work with Eveline.
Our sessions bring me not only pain relief but an awareness of dynamics of healing that I never realized were available: allowing strength and balance to come from the core of ones self and body to travel to heal the injury and allow return of function. This is what Eveline facilitates through her sensitive and nuanced psychophysical work and her amazing Feldenkrais body work.
I feel a creativity that I haven’t experienced since my days in experimental theater way back in the 70’s and a resiliency I am only now coming to acquire.
No one ever needs an injury, but if that’s what it took to bring me to this work and to this incredible healer, then perhaps that too was a stoke of luck.

I found Eveline from searching online for a Feldenkrais practitioner. I’ve been struggling with some old and newer injuries, and residual pain and stiffness. Had to pretty much give up my yoga practice because I just kept hurting myself. I studied Feldenkrais many years ago and loved it’s gentle, profound effects.
Eveline has helped me SO much in the past 4 months. She is deeply aware and present in her sessions, and very sensitive to what is going on in my body. She is also open to anything emotional that might be causing holding patterns in the body, and invites but doesn’t push me to let that come up in the session. She is nurturing, warm, relaxed, and professional at the same time.
I have experienced a distinct lessening of pain, a different way of using my body, less stiffness and a definite increase in energy. I have even found myself running when out with my dogs, just for the pleasure of it. Amazing! I have been to countless bodywork practitioners over the past 35 years, and Eveline is one of the best I have ever experienced. She truly has a gift which she combines with deep knowledge to do very healing work. I recommend her very highly.

I’ve been working with Eveline for several months and am feeling a great difference. I started with off and on pain in my legs and feet. This pain is mostly gone and when I notice it, it is minor. I, and my partner, have noticed an improvement in my posture. My gait is freer. I’m impressed and happy with my work with Eveline.

I’ve been meaning to write this review for some time. I found Eveline randomly searching for NAET on Unilocal,and decided to try it out. Feldenkrais is new to me, I’ve tried alot of massage, acupuncture type of things as well. Let me tell you, after one session, I was able to stand up straight and felt more «in» my body. It’s very gentle and it works without pain. I finally knew what it meant to be balanced. But it takes time. It’s also very relaxing. She has a very warm nurturing, puts you at ease type of personality.
She also does this technique with emotional release. I combined it with my traditional psycho therapy for stress. Eveline has the ability to help you get to the core of your feelings and yes literally release it without getting to personal. Sometimes it takes a few sessions of therapy to figure out how you feel about something, with Eveline she is gentle and manages to coax it out without being invasive. She’s very respectful of your space.
Definitely worth going to. Feel free to email me with q’s.

After one session, I felt and looked vibrant. I got so much out of seeing Eveline and was impressed with her professional and warm personality. I instantly felt comfortable with her.

Eveline made my back pain completely disappear after just two visits. The added bonus was that she resolved a chronic problem with my Achilles and hamstring. Her healing touch work is pretty magical. It’s hard to understand how the subtle ways she moves you creates such profound healing. I find it amazing that by simply moving my arms or legs and pressing in key places she has the ability to teach my body more efficient ways to move. Treatments are incredibly relaxing and have made it possible to take my first steps every morning without discomfort. I plan to continue to see her and learn exercises I can do on my own to preserve the benefits I’ve received in my first five visits.
This lady really knows her stuff and has a gift for relieving pain. She is a great resource and alternative to traditional modalities which don’t seem to get the same results.

I am new to Feldenkrais but not new to being in pain and having limited movement. Before I met Eveline, I was at a point where I did not know if there was anything left to try treatment wise.
To be honest I still don’t quite understand the whole concept BUT… after each session with Eveline I have felt lighter, less tense and more relaxed in my shoulders/​neck/​back that I have not been able to relax in years.
Eveline is a very caring, very gentle and skilled practitioner.
She is a delight to work with.
If you are struggling with chronic pain, stress or just need something new to help get things moving in a positive direction I highly encourage you to call Eveline and set up an appointment.
I hope your experience is as good and rewarding as mine has been.

I am new to the Feldenkrais work and I am now a firm advocate of the work and especially the work that Eveline performs. I have had about 5 sessions with Eveline, and I can say for sure that I would recommend her highly for her skill as a body worker, and a Feldenkrais Practitioner.
She is so in touch with my body and what it needs on any given day, and she immediately calms me down as soon as she begins working with me. I walk away feeling better and calmer and also have a better sense of how I show up in the world.
Give yourself a treat and call up Eveline for a session.
