“In modern and Western society we tend to reach higher levels of performance by using more effort. In the Feldenkrais Method we learn a different approach which is based on completely the opposite idea: by reducing effort and with a clearer goal-oriented motivation, we work on the quality of action.”

“The Feldenkrais Method engages the person in learning through their own neuromuscular experience and awareness. By assisting the athlete to discover and experience a way of moving that clearly works better for them, they can embody that learning with ease and precision; running with more speed and ease, turning more quickly and precisely, and refining their balance and coordination to better meet the ever-changing environment they face in their sport.”

“Irene Gutteridge is a tenacious learner. She continually places herself in opportunities to learn, develop and refine her abilities, uncovering what she already knows and expanding herself as a teacher of the Feldenkrais® Method. Her own history of injury makes her and empathetic practitioner for students who come to her. Her ability to organize her work, meet clients, introduce people to the Feldenkrais MethodÝand work effectively make her a rising star in the FeldenkraisÝcommunity.”

“Irene has proven herself as the consummate professional every time out. She eloquently disseminates scientific research into practical tips and tools for fitness professionals and public alike. Her enthusiasm and genuine care for educating is obvious whether she is one-on-one with a client or in front of a large audience. Simply, Irene is one of the best in our industry.”

“Irene is an engaging and inspiring presenter. Her sound expertise coupled with her ability to capture the attention of participants in the room makes for a great experience that lasts long beyond the time you are in her presence. Irene's high level of credibility has been achieved due to her relentless commitment and passion for helping people to live healthy lives.”
