Individual Instruction: One-on-One Continued Exploration
More detail. More personalization.
Better results from your Counter-shapes.
Every new student begins with the Foundations of Loo Movement class, where you can see if this method is right for you. From there, Valerie will give you guidance for the best way to continue.
In 1:1 Loo Movement Continued Exploration sessions, you’ll build on what you’ve learned in Alignment Techniques classes, further integrating and advancing your practice. These personalized sessions help refine your form and technique, improve Counter-shape precision, and deepen your understanding so you can practice more effectively and get better results in your home practice and in class.
In these sessions, you will get a postural evaluation and custom home-practice plan, which we’ll continue to build on as you progress. Valerie combines her deep intuition for proper body alignment with her physical therapy expertise to identify your unique movement patterns and needs. With a keen sense of postural subtleties, she’ll help you recognize and shift non-optimal habits through somatic teaching, gentle hands-on adjustments, and tailored instruction. You’ll feel the difference from your very first session.
Valerie’s 1:1 Continued Exploration sessions are typically booked out 4-6 weeks. As openings become available, she gives priority to class and workshop students who have been actively studying and practicing the method.
1:1 Continued Exploration sessions are booked directly with Valerie. Current Loo Movement students can email her below to express their interest.
Please note, these 1:1 Continued Exploration sessions are designed for Loo Movement students in the Prehab stage (not conventional rehab), and are not recommended for treating acute injuries with significant limitation due to pain and inflammation.
If you need a referral for conventional physical therapy, we are happy to provide that for you!
Words from Continued Exploration students
"Wow! I never thought I would get relief from my neck pain. But Valerie has been a transformational force in helping me better deal with these challenges through stretches and Counter-shapes that are focused on realigning my spine. I feel more confident in my ability to respond to physical pain, and she is the first person EVER who has gotten me to stretch consistently. Valerie focuses on getting to the root cause of pain, so in addition to real relief, I feel more empowered and educated about how to take care of my body for the long haul. She is so knowledgeable and passionate about supporting her clients, and the way she holds space for me to learn my body and be more in tune with myself is SO valuable!"
