PRACTICAL DISCLAIMER; THE REALITIES OF HELPING THROUGH MOVEMENT
“The intention of The PFM Way -- encompassing the book Even With Your Shoes On, the PFM WujWum Series of 6 and the PFM Pilot Course -- is to help folk ‘notice themselves’ and help practitioners help their clients do exactly the same thing.

I invite you to enjoy the journey along this path of discovery. My goal is to make the process accessible to you and to be simple, because it CAN BE simple. This all started with Pathfinders, who spread the word. The trail is laid, ready to be tramped into a deep groove of movement information trodden around the globe. Movement Shifts …”
