Judy Greenman

 

Judy helps people change their lives. She began her studies of somatic education and body awareness in 1998 after realizing that her life needed a change. With three young daughters (ages 8, 9, and 11) at home, Judy began trainings in various modalities- including Integrated Awareness®, Cortical Field Re-Education®, Craniosacral Therapy, Transformational Coaching and The Feldenkrais Method®. 

 

 

Through this work, Judy realized that her body was a unique laboratory to discover and change the blind spots in her life. She noticed how stiffness and pain gradually narrows and consumes a person’s life and it’s usually out of their awareness.  It’s like the fable about the frog put in boiling water.  If the frog is put in boiling water, he jumps out and lives.  But if he is put in tepid water and the temperature slowly rises, the frog doesn’t feel it and boils to death.  So, with a background in personal discovery and transformation,Judy  got excited about how this work created awareness, relief and freedom quicker than anything she had experienced before. 

 

 

Today, Judy guides the young and old to optimal pain-free movement and uses a unique blend of slow, gentle movement with various awareness techniques to help her students relieve chronic pain and access personal and professional success. She works with people who want to take better care of their necks, shoulders, and backs and those who want to improve their posture and flexibility in their body and life. Her coaching is particularly helpful for busy women who want to feel less stress and feel more calm, present and empowered. She has taught thousands of people ages 14 to 94 across the country and world, leading annual trainings in at Esalen Institute, New York Felendrais Center, & in Spain.

 

​Judy can help the office professional relieve the stress of pounding a keyboard all day long. She can help an adolescent sleep better at night. Or she can help the elderly find an easier way to get out of bed in the morning. “I enjoy showing people how quickly the brain allows them to release pain or limitations they have struggled with unnecessarily for too long,” she said.
