ADHD Coaching, NeuroMovement® & Somatic Learning for All Ages

Mark is a kind and patient Anat Baniel Method practitioner who works with my 10-year-old son with mild Autism and ADHD. He engages my son with attentive, good humor, and his calm, upbeat demeanor puts my son at ease, and they are able to connect and share a laugh. I notice that my son uses a lot more spontaneous language and comments on more things after his lessons with Mark. Since scripting (reciting movie/show dialogue) is his preferred way of speaking, this growth in his language expression is exactly what we, as parents, were hoping for, and we are excited to keep building on this success.

My son and I have been working with Olga and Mark for over a year now. Anat Baniel Method is revolutionary and makes a tremendous difference in how our brain connects to the body movement. My son's physical capabilities have accelerated steadily since working with Mark. His mood and energy levels are always high after each session. It has led him to develop much more confidence, first in crawling and then by developing the strength to walk. His muscular strength is more stable, and his alertness to movement increases. We love Mark's and Olga's passion and dedication to their work! It makes a great deal of difference for our family.

My 5-year-old son goes to Occupational Therapy to work on his fine motor skills, sensory sensitivities, and crossing the mid-line tasks. Since we started seeing Mark for ABM sessions this summer, his OT has noticed a drastic improvement in his handwriting. One day at home, he entirely dressed and went to the bathroom on his own (number 2, which he usually avoids). He feels more comfortable in his body. Mark is very patient and calm, and my son enjoys talking to him. We are happy he has had the chance to have these sessions as he transitioned to kindergarten this year.

We started ABM lessons for our daughter last summer and were happy to get the chance to get her more ABM lessons. Olga approached Jewel with such gentleness, integrity, and sweetness which made Jewel trust her right away. She allowed Olga to work on her, and her body slowly transformed, getting softer and opening up, as if moving forward. Going from tightness to openness, from congestion to open airways.

Before ABM Feldenkrais with Olga, I was in pain after about 15–20 minutes of sitting or standing and would carry a special cushion around everywhere I went. I spent several years, tons of energy, and thousands of dollars on other therapies, including mainstream medicine, chiropractic, physical therapy, acupuncture, and others. But I found the most relief from ABM Feldenkrais and working with Olga. I'm so happy to say that now I can sit or stand for hours with no pain! If you're thinking about trying Feldenkrais (or Pilates) I highly recommend Olga Lubarsky. You won't find a more thoughtful, informed, honest, talented practitioner like her anywhere.

The pains have really disappeared. I was able to run my first half marathon. I started playing volleyball again. I no longer stretch, or even feel the need to stretch. I'm now 8 months pregnant and attribute my lack of the typical aches and pains that most pregnant women complain of to the fact that I still have weekly lessons with Olga.

I took Olga's classes for about one year. She literally saved my neck and my back. I had a long-standing back and neck problem that got significantly better. After her classes, I felt calmer, more relaxed, and more flexible as a side benefit. Olga combines Feldenkrais and Pilates to adjust those two gentle healing modalities to fit your needs. She is a true healer, and it is a pleasure being her client.

I have been working with Olga for many years, and I highly recommend her classes and one-on-one sessions. Most recently, she helped me stay strong during my pregnancy, and then she helped me recover my core strength postnatal. I have referred several injured friends to her who were not progressing with other therapies. My friends regained their movement and strength with Feldenkrais and Pilates approach. Above all, Olga is a dedicated practitioner who pays attention to details to make sure she is meeting your needs.

— Amanda R.

I have been going to classes and having one-on-one sessions with Olga for about 5 years now. My body is stronger and healthier because of her care and guidance. She takes special care with each client to ensure our bodies get the most out of each session. She is deeply knowledgeable about how we move and the best way to use the reformers. The classes are small, so you feel like you are getting all the support you need. Her movement classes complement the reformer classes to provide an overall healthy approach to exercise.

Don't look any further for a Pilates instructor. Olga's enthusiasm is contagious! She is very observant and quickly proposes modifications to exercises when necessary. Olga seems to have a 6th sense — she knows when to push me during a training session and when not to. Her innovation and continual introduction of new exercises and new methods, such as Feldenkrais, keep you challenged. You don't have to worry about your workouts getting boring. Do something good for yourself — call Olga and get started today with your personalized plan. You'll definitely love the results because what she does really works!

Mark and Olga — thank you for your excellent coaching and training. I have gained strength, as well as improved balance and posture, making my daily life more enjoyable with less effort. I leave every session feeling refreshed and relaxed and recommend your work to everyone.

Mark and Olga have a thorough background in different modalities and a soft and caring teaching style. They helped many of my dance students. I highly recommend working with them to overcome physical limitations and injuries and gain new body awareness.

— Noelle

I'm grateful for Mark's instruction which allowed me to continue exercising while I was dealing with chronic shoulder pain. I now rarely feel any of the old aches. I would recommend Mark as an instructor for anyone dealing with injuries or other constraints.

— Alison S.

I felt slight improvement after a couple of sessions, and a significant improvement after a few weeks. I felt not just a reduction in pain but also a tangible difference in the way my arms, hips and legs all felt in my walking and my daily movements.

— Peter Bartok

Working with Olga seemed like a very good physical therapy. I had such good results that I brought my 85-year-old mother after she had two back surgeries. She, like me, now thinks of back pain as an unusual occurrence!

— Margaret L.

Within a few months I was able to again lift my own luggage (had not been able to do so for several years without having pain later). I continue to see Olga today and am a believer in what ABM can do for people who suffer from debilitating lower back pain.
