When you come to my office, the expertise you pay for is my ability to create the necessary environment for you to learn in. In a sense I set the stage or environment for exploration and learning to take place in. When the stage is set, we both enter into the play as learners. I know I can't force you to learn anything, but I know you can learn. I can't teach you anything, but together we can learn. I become as much of a learner in a Functional Integration® lesson as you do. Each moment in a lesson has perhaps as much impact with me as it does with you. We seek refinement together. We learn from each other and from ourselves. I realize that all of your learning takes place within yourself and it is yours. It is extraordinarily powerful for a person to realize their own capacity for learning and refining their own actions. If our work together goes well, your own self- appreciation will grow significantly.

A great lesson in Functional Integration is when we both step away from the lesson having learned something new, something we didn't know before, and we are led to see a glimpse of our wondrous and beautiful potential. We are lead towards our own personal evolution as a part of the evolving society of humans.

Functional Integration lessons usually take place with you lying or sitting on a low, broad sturdy table. Often the lesson and exploration is done silently with touch leading you into a deep listening of yourself. Sometimes your attention will be guided so you can sense specifically what you do and to heighten your ability to feel differences. Sometimes you will be a passive listening participant in the lesson and at other times you will be active. At the end of the lesson you will have the opportunity to explore the effects of the lesson within you as you bring the lesson into the activities of sitting, standing and walking. Suggestions are sometimes made for you as to how you can take your learning into your daily life. As we go along in the lessons we will learn to guide each other in our learning.
