Nicolette de Saint-Amour is a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Pracitioner (CM), she graduated her Feldenkrais® training led by Julie Peck in Kelowna, Canada. Nicolette is Lecturer of Somatics at San Diego State University’s Dance department. She is a Secretary and Board Member of The Feldenkrais Guild of North America with over a decade of experience in various somatic modalities. She has studied intensively with Tom Meyers of Anatomy Trains and Judith Aston of Aston Kinetics in body reading and postural assessments which informs her private practice. Nicolette draws on her study of bioenergetics; her rich understanding of somatic archetypes has helped her clients find a formative process to meet life’s demands with resiliency and ease.
Born in Maputo, Mozambique, her nomadic upbringing has deeply influenced her interest in life transitions; how the body adapts to the ever-changing environment, and how this gives rise to personal mythologies. Harnessing the skill of body reading, through the lens of the Feldenkrais Method® of somatic education she highlights the interplay of physical and emotional experience to help others explore their movement potential by connecting their mind and body as a continuum of pulsatory and streaming currents, an excitatory ocean, no longer in the world of the habitual.
