About Megan Hopley

A search for resolution of several major injuries lead Megan to the Feldenkrais Method®. She discovered so much more than injury recovery and the journey compelled her to share the benefits of this method with others. Megan completed a four year practitioner training with educational director Julie Peck. She offers a fulltime Feldenkrais practice in several locations in Melbourne. Megan’s movement practice began forming in the mid 1990’s with studies in Martial arts; Wing Chun Kung Fu, Tai Chi Chuan and Qigong ‘Chi gong’. She loves to share the experience gained through her own journey of recovery from pain and injury; later cultivating more freedom and joy through the Feldenkrais Method®.

Megan works with people who wish to:

• Find freedom from pain, injury or stiffness


• Bring more ease and comfort into your life


• Maintain abilities while you age, allowing you to continue to do what you love and enjoy


• Move out of stuck patterns, habits or perceived limitations


• Find more options or choices for yourself


• Clarify your abilities and intentions for yourself and allow you to move freely through all sorts of situations

She works with people of all ages and abilities.
