Testimonials about Uwe Mester
"I continue to be impressed and amazed with Uwe and the Feldenkrais Method. Every session is an experience in and of itself. I think that everyone would benefit immensely from working with Uwe. He really is a master of his craft. I wish that my family members had access to a Feldenkrais practitioner."
Brady Holt, Director of Athletic Performance at UVM, Burlington
Uwe draws you into a thoughtful, relaxing awareness of your body and how it moves and shows you how to release tension and holding and move more freely.
Sharon McIlwaine, Director of Breathing Light, Montpelier
"Uwe is an extremely knowledgeable and gifted teacher. Both my husband (a pianist) and myself (a massage therapist) have gained more freedom and comfort of movement through his lessons. He assists you with increased body awareness and makes it fun!"
Kirsten DeLuca, Massage Therapist, Burlington
Ira Bernstein, M.D., Senior Associate Dean for Research & Professor at UVM, Burlington
"My Yoga, overall balance and body awareness have improved dramatically since I've started attending Uwe's group sessions! I've made great improvement in my horsebackriding as well, which is very dependent on the ability to relax muscles and move only the body parts you choose to move. Thank you, Uwe !"
Jill Lyons, Occupational Therapist, Charlotte
Gillian Franks, Business Counselor, Essex, VT
"I am currently in recovery from a stroke I suffered six years ago, which left me with very little control over my right side and leg. Through the Feldenkrais Method I am now able to feel and control my right leg and foot. In just 5 sessions working with Uwe my walking and my overall movements have dramatically improved. Feldenkrais is a wonderful way to influence the body and the mind at the same time.All of this has been accomplished in a very pleasurable way without any pain or discomfort. I highly recommend Uwe and the Feldenkrais-Method to anybody."
Gerard Rubaud, French Baker, Westford
“A great way to connect body and mind. I really recommend Uwe Mester for anyone who's got problems with backs, knees, jaws etc..”
John Cohn, Chief Scientist for Design Automation (IBM), Richmond
"I find Feldenkrais private sessions release stress in my shoulders and hips and leave me moving easier. And the work makes me aware of how I move in my body so I can continue to work on changing patterns that cause the stress in between sessions. I LOVE how I feel after a session. For me, it is far more effective than massage or even a chiropractic adjustment."
Andrea O`Connor, GYROTONIC® and Yoga Teacher, Burlington
"Working with Uwe in an individual session was deeply transformational for me. I felt a major shift and release of a longterm shoulder pain pattern. The work helped me gain so much awareness of my body-both where I have ease and where I hold tension. Becoming more consciously aware of my body has helped me make positive changes."
Courtney Edelson, Massage Therapist, North Ferrisburg
"I have been a carpenter for 20 years and have had back pain for about 4 of those years. I began working with Uwe to find ways of discovering where and why my pain comes from. I've been able to take the lessons into the world and job with me to help me move better and without the associated pain. I have really benefited from his teaching of the Feldenkrais method."
Morgan Rÿser, Carpenter and Massage Therapist, Hinesburg
