What our Clients Say

  • “Oh my gosh - Phoebe!!! I still feel remarkably good, even after wrangling my mom and driving on I5 to lake Oswego! My face totally released at some point - eyes and jaw. Feels so good. Thank you, thank you!!!”

    Shannon Jones

  • "We tried this last night right before bed. I've done this exercise before, but never so mindfully. That was very soothing, I went right to sleep."

    Online Student

  • “Saoirse has been talking up a storm! Added a solid 5 new words and imitating a lot more! Really noticing a big leap after our lessons. She’s initiated walking independently toward something she wants a bit more too.”

    Esme W.

  • “H is doing great. He’s eating like a champion. He usually has some choking but since lessons he’s been totally coordinated on the purée eating. And he’s been sitting totally differently in his chair. On his midline and with relaxed legs.”

    Hannah

  • J’s made a lot of progress in the past few weeks since our lessons. She’s playing for longer periods of time in standing and doing a lot of cruising on furniture. She’s a lot more confident in her movements”

    Erica (parent of child with hypotonia)

  • “This morning we have been playing a lot, singing and I notice her attention is much longer if I sing. She doesn’t jump to another thing as quickly. I was able to go through a puzzle with animals with her, something that was in her toy box for ages and she never gave any attention to.”

  • The results have been incredible in how I'm able to move and how alive I feel. But not just in being able to get back on my feet. It's also shifted how I think about my body as something - someone- to collaborate with rather than to force and throttle to do my will. ”

    Liz T client (presenting issue -Plantar Fasciitis)

  • My lessons with Phoebe are reshaping how I think about how I move and work and act in the world metaphorically too.
