Here's the Buzz

"I feel the pure joy in their teaching!"
--Ruthy Alon, Creator of Bones For Life^® & Feldenkrais Trainer Speaking on Darcia and
Dixie's group presentation

"Darcia's caring, compassion and skill level are a great contribution to our Center."
--Marc Pierre, Physical Therapist , Co-Owner Center for Physical Health

"After a 5 minute lesson I feel relaxed and calm, like I've been to a spa."
--Raul Garcia, Art Director, VPI.Net

"Darcia is devoted, compassionate and sincere. Her positive outlook and encouragement is revitalizing. It is clear that her work is more than a mere occupation, but a passion."
--Armando P., 28 years old, recovering from chronic pain

"As a working professional in the film business I had damaged 2 disks in my neck. After surgical reparations, with Darcia's teachings, I understand how I'm moving and what I can do to prevent injury and fatigue while working 14-16 hours days on the set. I'm certain that the Feldenkrais Method® has helped me prevent a second neck surgery by teaching me new movement patterns that changed old habits. I used to come home tired and hunched over, now I come home energized and upright."
--Dave Negrin, 1st Assistant Camera, Member of the International Cinematographer's Guild

"Darcia Dexter adds valuable PREVENTATIVE health care with her movement exercises. Everyone wins here including insurance companies. Through awareness of our bodies during a long work day, Darcia gives each crew member the power of control and to be "the physician within" saving higher health care costs in the future, a more alert worker AND a human being who feels better."
--Thomas McKenney, Director of Photography, Member of the International Cinematographer's Guild

"Little things like being able to turn my head easier to check traffic, holding my grandkids on my lap or playing video poker allow me to enjoy a higher quality of life. My bone density has actually improved through Darcia's help and regular sessions help keep the muscular pain from fibromyalgia under control. This work is truly amazing."
--Nancy Warner, retired nurse, 30 year paraplegic

"I am a singer and musician with a progressive neuromuscular disease and extensive surgical fusions of the vertebrae. Working with Darcia has helped my breathing, my mobility and has helped manage my level of pain and stamina. I'm still singing, playing and performing with my band, and only using my ventilator noninvasively part-time, despite the predictions of many doctors that I would have needed full-time ventilation and a tracheostomy by now. I know that Feldenkrais has helped to keep me functioning at a higher level and slow down the rate of the progression. Darcia has been such a positive force in my life and she is so dedicated to the well-being of her clients. I rarely meet someone so enthusiastic to see others thrive."
--Bryna Golden
