Lawrence Phillips

Lawrence Phillips is, for over thirty years, a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner®, helping people improve embodied functionality, physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually

As a mentor Lawrence uses movement, awareness and insight to promote well-being particularly with issues of anxiety, impulse balancing and grief. Lawrence mentors as an adviser, guide, counselor, confidant and as such is a teacher, tutor and instructor. Lawrence helps clarify the many, often confusing, messages emanating from our bodies and offers imaginative approaches for dealing with health, learning and improving our situation in life.

Lawrence has travelled the path of awareness, learning and healing for over forty years, originating his work in the 60's while developing his eclectic approach to learning and growing, no matter what the circumstances may be, no matter what conditions we might be dealing with. Lawrence graduated college with a bachelor's in philosophy from Haverford College, a Quaker affiliated school. After college Lawrence co-founded Aegis Institute, a center for bringing holistic studies to the Philadelphia Main Line. In the latter 70's Lawrence co-founded Earthly Organics, a wholesale natural foods operation. The 80's saw Lawrence taking on the Feldenkrais Training with the master himself, Moshe Feldenkrais. The shingle was put out in 1983 as Lawrence began professionally practicing the Feldenkrais work, helping people with "bad backs." In the 90's Lawrence co-founded a group of like-minded holistic practitioners, Princeton Mind/Body Associates in Princeton NJ. Lawrence returned to the state of his birth by moving back to Colorado in 2000 to live with Myron McClellan. For almost twenty years Lawrence has been developing his Embodied Mentoring practice in the Denver area while also offering with Myron, Mystical Musings, a monthly spiritual gathering for fifteen years. The Musings ended their regular monthly offering October 2017, but over forty podcasts are available on many always timely mystical topics at iTunes, or by going to "MysticalMusings.Net. Lawrence's Embodied Mentoring practice offers help with chronic challenges as well as guidance on graceful aging.

Embodied Mentoring cultivates learning about improving mobility, posture, graceful aging, flexibility, resilience and adaptability. We accomplish these things by exploring the Feldenkrais Method® of Somatic Education, using gentle, non-invasive, easy movement patterns to coax ourselves to go beyond limiting beliefs and limited function. Learning physically always involves learning emotionally. With learning as the foundation, we explore body/mind/heart/spirit to improve the way we live and enjoy being in the world.
