Samantha Arbelo

    Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner

    IOPS Practitioner

    Licensed Massage Therapist

    Pilates Teacher

    In 2010, I began professional studies at Educating Hands School of Massage, with a curriculum rooted in integrative therapies and health sciences. There, I developed a deep curiosity about the nervous system and its connection to physical tension, chronic stress, and discomfort.

    Building on that foundation, I certified in the IMX Pilates and Fitness program, a contemporary approach influenced by traditional Pilates and the Alexander Technique (a neurological approach to refining posture and movement). It was through this foundation that I was introduced to the Feldenkrais Method, a practice that finally explained why discomfort often returns despite stretching, strengthening, or relaxation.

    Recognizing its potential, I began the four-year professional training of the Feldenkrais Method in 2017. Since my start in the wellness field, our understanding of how the brain stores and processes information has advanced significantly, and it’s now widely recognized as a key factor in chronic discomfort.

    As the science continues to evolve, I stay engaged in Feldenkrais graduate programs that deepen my understanding of the nervous system, human development, and how learning shapes movement and well-being.

    Why it works

    Lasting change begins with learning

    Since I started in the wellness field, our understanding of how the brain stores and processes information has advanced significantly. It is now well understood that the nervous system plays a central role in long-lasting pain, including the movement habits that keep it going.

    Feldenkrais lessons put that understanding into practice. Rather than trying to change a pattern through effort, each lesson offers the nervous system new movement experiences to learn from, so comfort and ease become something you can find again on your own.
