“Compassionate and skilled.”
I have had the privilege of training and practicing the Feldenkrais Method with Ian Fitton since 2014. Ian has an intuitive sense of what people need to move more efficiently and effectively whether the issue is healing an acute injury or overcoming chronic pain. He is a compassionate and skilled Feldenkrais practitioner with a wealth of life experience who can help clients to reach their maximum potential.

“I highly recommend Ian!”
"After two knee surgeries in a row, I had persistent misalignment that PT, acupuncture, and massage hadn't been able to fix. I was frustrated by the lack of progress, and then I tried a Feldenkrais session with Ian on a whim. I'm happy to say that it worked. He did a few adjustments and showed me some simple exercises that fixed the alignment issues and allowed me to run and bike without pain or premature fatigue. I still do the exercises when I feel my alignment off a bit and they always do the trick. I highly recommend Ian!"

“An incredibly positive experience.”
"Working with Ian has been an incredibly positive experience. He is inquisitive, focused, and direct, and very welcoming, gentle, and calm. He sees the whole “me” when we work together and observes ways I hold myself that contribute to pain and discomfort – both physically and emotionally. By creating awareness and offering new ways of moving and being in my body, Ian has helped me change some habitual patterns, thus creating more freedom. I always leave a session feeling very relaxed, grounded, and enlivened. Thank you!"

“Subtle important adjustments to back pain.”
I am a natural skeptic, and novice to Feldenkrais, so I came to Ian with curiosity but low expectations. Over the course of our time together, Ian walked me through the logic of what he was doing, and the expected results, and he was right! There were subtle but important adjustments to my back pain and it was a great experience all around.

He is a true friend.
He has a compassionate heart.
He is a spiritual warrior.
He is a natural healer.
He has a great sense of humor.
What a combo!

“I am safe, capable, and whole.”
Ian's Functional Integration lessons help me sense that I am safe, capable, and whole. I experience this through his ability to sense and support where I am comfortable, and facilitation of new movements which teach me how to move with more of myself. As a result of a lesson with Ian, I feel that my whole self has had a very good conversation, got on the same page, and when I stand up I feel a new sense of readiness to do what I wish to do in my life.
