Move Without Pushing: Feldenkrais® for Autistic/ADHD Burnout & Chronic Illness
Free & Online. Tuesday, Sept. 29
2-3 pm Eastern / 11am-noon Pacific
A free gentle somatic movement workshop for burnout, chronic pain, hypermobility, body awareness, & nervous system regulation.
Whether you’re neurodivergent, dealing with burnout or chronic illness, or just curious, this workshop will help you learn more about the Feldenkrais Method® of somatic movement for neurodivergent folks and people with chronic illness and help you feel more safety, ease, and comfort in your body.
This is a bottom-up, non-verbal approach that works with the way your brain learns, so you can feel what’s happening as it’s happening and make choices that actually work for you. You’ll learn to find more support from your skeleton, so your muscles don’t have to do all the work.
Format: Online. Intro + 35-minute guided Awareness Through Movement® lesson (no experience needed) + space for questions & community connections.
You lie on a mat or sit in a chair, and a certified teacher guides you through small, slow movements to explore your movement patterns and discover new options. There’s no stretching, exercise, or positions to hold, and everything is adaptable for all bodies and energy levels.

“I have been healing rheumatoid arthritis for 18.5 years and was amazed to find more comfort and ease in my body after working with Alex.” – Alegra-Ray
I support sensitive & neurodivergent adults, people living with complex chronic illness, musicians & performing artists — using gentle, non-verbal somatic movement so you can feel what’s happening as it’s happening and make choices that actually work for you.
You don’t need to try harder.
You don’t need better words.
You don’t need to fix yourself.
An easier way is possible.

Hi, I’m Alex.
I’m a queer, autistic-ADHD Feldenkrais® Practitioner with a background in classical music and lived experience of complex chronic illness and late-identified neurodivergence.
I created this work because I needed it — and because too many people are asked to explain themselves instead of given proper support.
I don’t diagnose, treat, or fix.
I create conditions for safety, curiosity, and learning — so your nervous system can do what it already knows how to do.
