work with me illumined the path to an optimally performing body via the
Feldenkrais method. Working with her liberated me from the unconscious
posturing so typical of opera singers and opened up a new field of body
language to me both in my daily life and my work on the stage. Working
with Maxine has also heightened my own sensitivity to aid in freeing resistance
and limitations in my students. I greatly appreciate her way of presenting
material in a clear, concise, and nurturing manner. |

| Before
my private lessons with Maxine Davis, I had general anxiety about public
speaking and knew that I wasn't performing at my best in meetings and speaking
in front of large forums. Maxine's lessons truly helped me to become "comfortable
in my own skin" through her special blend of the Feldenkrais Method
and her unique personal wisdom. The lessons were one of the best investments
I have ever made in terms of time and expense in helping me express myself
effectively as a public speaker. |

is great. I have worked with her multiple times, usually in the setting
of an acute problem like back pain, and have known others whom she has
helped over the last 17 years. She has an extraordinary talent through
touch and intuition for solving problems. She brings experience, practicality
and a keen clinical sense to her work. She is a wonderful healer and I
would recommend her particularly to those who have had a frustrating time
achieving a sense of physical well being. |

years ago I couldn't sit or sleep. Pain from sciatica was the diagnosis.
After three years with Maxine, one-on-one and in a weekly class, I have
transformed not only how I move but also the emotional attitudes and physical
habits that contributed to the pain. My daughter remarked on my improved
posture
– the
visual expression of my internal changes. |

| Through
the Feldenkrais Method, Maxine has shown me how to become aware of, and
subsequently free, many areas of tension in my body. My work with her has
reduced the neck pain and stiffness that bothered me for years. My body
works more efficiently now, I have better range of motion, my singing has
improved. Maxine is an outstanding teacher and practitioner in every way:
she is experienced, gentle, sensitive, flexible, knowledgeable, perceptive,
and clear. I recommend her with great enthusiasm. |
