Do you grind your teeth? Or know people who do?
Imagine waking up one morning to discover you no longer carry unnecessary tension in your fists, eyes or JAW ! Without Effort!
Spend 5 Days, [evenings] only 3 hours a day in your clinic or home using your lips, tongue, and eyes as primary vehicles to release your brain that sends those tight muscles you use for grinding your teeth and tightening your Jaw.

Change the Pattern, Change the Brain
----------------------
How do you ‘change the brain’ to quiet muscular holding patterns such as grinding teeth at night?
First Observe and see patterns. Then Support areas within the pattern so that the nervous system of your client is listening. Then Quiet the Nervous System through deep attention to excessive holding patterns in the tongue, eyes, and … whole self. For Therapists, Educators and Coaches including Self-Coaches or anyone with a tight jaw.

As a Feldenkrais® Practitioner with a Master’s Degree in Dance. I studied with the brilliant D.Sc.Moshe Feldenkrais, a pioneer in Neuroplasticity in 1980. 40 years ago I discovered that an imbalance in my jaw was connected to my hips. Since then, I have guided Therapists & Coaches, like you, to use your clients’ inner intelligence to shift their imbalances.

"beyond sheer hustle lies a different kind of power - one rooted in grace."
01/08/2026

"beyond sheer hustle lies a different kind of power - one rooted in grace."

In a culture obsessed with nonstop productivity and the glorification of relentless effort, Brené Brown’s reflections offer a much-needed pause. Her work on vulnerability and courage reveals that beyond sheer hustle lies a different kind of power - one rooted in grace. This isn’t about grinding harder or faster but about showing up with honesty, compassion, and presence. Grace opens doors that hustle alone can’t, inviting us into spaces where real connection and transformation happen.

This emphasis on grace as a sustaining force finds a clear resonance in the work of the philosopher and psychoanalyst Luce Irigaray. In ‘To Be Two’, Irigaray explores how relationality, being truly present and responsive to others, forms the foundation of ethical life. She argues that authentic connection requires more than willpower or effort; it demands openness, patience, and a gentle attentiveness that can’t be rushed or forced. This attentiveness is a form of grace, a way of being that cultivates understanding and nurtures growth.

Similarly, the contemporary thinker and psychoanalyst Jessica Benjamin, in ‘Beyond Doer and Done To’, examines how mutual recognition and vulnerability create the conditions for genuine dialogue and change. Benjamin shows that power exercised through domination or sheer force, akin to hustle, ultimately fractures relationships. By contrast, power enacted through acknowledgment and respect, which requires a kind of grace, fosters resilience and transformation.

This lesson extends beyond the personal. In politics and social movements, grace can be a radical force. Choosing empathy over anger, patience over immediate victory, and dialogue over division often leads to more lasting change. Such grace requires courage, it’s an active engagement with hardship that refuses to be reduced to mere hustle or brute force.

Ultimately, Brené Brown’s insight invites us to rethink how we navigate life’s challenges. While hustle may fuel ambition, grace sustains it. It teaches us to pause, to listen, and to meet ourselves and others with generosity. In that space, struggle transforms into resilience, and real power emerges - not from the frantic chase but from the calm, steady presence of grace.

The Brain Learns. The Body Responds. The Pain Resolves.
What if your clients' Repetitive Stress Injury in the wrist isn’t where the problem resides? What if the solution is with a static pattern with your CORE?

I'm Bonnie Kissam, Feldenkrais® Practitioner with a Master's Degree in Dance. In 1980, I had the privilege of studying directly with D.Sc. Moshe Feldenkrais, the brilliant pioneer who understood neuroplasticity decades before it became mainstream. I created Touch to Inform Seminars to excite therapists, coaches and educators to include the Neuro and Skeletal parts in the Neuromusculoskeletal System.

Most of the time, when something hurts, the focus goes to the point of pain.
Repetitive Stress Injuries happen when the brain keeps returning to the same habitual pattern—over and over. So why not address the Pattern?

Touch to Inform guides you to SEE these patterns [kinesthetically] so that you can guide your clients toward new possibilities.
When you can sense the core mobilized, movement distributes evenly through the spine—taking pressure off wrists, elbows, knees, and ankles.
The brain learns. The body responds. The pain resolves.

Learn a Touch That Can Change Everything
Be the one who knows an approach to Unlock your client’s brain

As a therapist, you've seen it: clients stuck in the same patterns, returning with the same issues, despite your best efforts. Traditional approaches hit a wall because they're working against the brain, not with it.

I'm Bonnie Kissam, M.A. in Education, LMT, Feldenkrais® Practitioner who studied directly with Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais in 1980—decades before neuroplasticity became mainstream. What I learned changed everything about how healing actually works.

No one knows what is really in your client’s brains, but begin to Observe your client’s Patterns in detail and you can begin to sense map for action your client is using.
Your client's brain, with guidance wants to create the solution.
You just need to know how to connect and unlock it with a touch that can be heard.

In the 90-hour Certificate Program, you'll discover how to:
• Replace force with support and curiosity—and watch resistance melt away
• Turn your touch into a conversation with your client's nervous system
• Guide self-correction instead of chasing symptoms
• Create lasting change that emerges from within,
This isn't another technique to add to your toolkit. This is a complete paradigm shift that transforms both your practice and your clients' lives. Each Seminar gets better and better, as the detail stance in your practice gets more and more interesting.
