She has unique perspectives, expertise, and empathy in the day-to-day struggles of those with pain or impairment, with formal training as an Occupational Therapist and her continued education in the Feldenkrais Method and Masgutova Neuro-Sensorimotor Reflex Integration (MNRI). Her continued education, including treating PTSD, has enriched her private practice allowing those in pain to return to activities of daily living without pain and medications. Joyce’s role with Compris includes its’ scope and direction. She launched the assessment and website, assembled Compris' team, organizes proposals, prepares expense budgets, keeps deadlines, and remains focused on objectives, however she’s aware of the importance of flexibility during all stages. The Feldenkrais Method® consists of gentle movements to improve overall functioning, ease of movement, coordination, flexibility, breathing fluidity, and reduce stress and pain. It is helpful for those individuals with neurological difficulties, those recovering from injuries, children with developmental delays, those individuals who have been suffering from chronic pain. I work individually with Infants and children experiencing developmental delays, coordination and attention deficits, adults experiencing chronic muscle and joint pain, poor balance, flexibility and coordination, difficulty managing stress and tension, individuals who would like to get back into a healthy lifestyle, such as regular exercise, as well as those who want to refine their skills in the arts.
