Nonie was born with a cervical spine issue which perplexed doctors. To this day it’s not clear to say exactly what it was however Nonie later self diagnosed as cervical spondylosis. Nonie insisted at a young age not to not go through suggested surgical operations. Since the age of 12, in order to self maintain Nonie explored ways with her breath, including long distant running, Tai Chi , somatic movement aiming to fix her spine. Nonie first met Juliu in 1998. Nonie didn’t have an easy journey with The Gyrotonic Method, at first Nonie’s condition felt as if it had worsened. Confused and frustrated Nonie would consult Juliu. Juliu’s calming words towards encouraging Nonie to simply move and keep moving ‘you will feel better through the process of movement exploration."

With little knowledge Nonie continued to do this and found her own way with the encouragement of Juliu to a pain free body.

Nonie teaches by stimulating inner energy that resonates to the students physical state, incorporating internal to external into daily life, as well as her own practice. Nonie works “ strengthening the weakness area at the same time releasing the restricting area "

Nonie Factilitates a space where the student is able to tune in with themselves through movement to bring their own awareness, this is communicated physically with Nonie and Nonie read this and guides the students to arrive together (the body knows more than the mind - we tune in to the wisdom of the body) Which requires students to arrive a state of “conscious release” that our body & mind move without a “control in consciousness”that benefits more and it stay.It allows the students to create their own awareness and physically communicating with her to help adjust the various system including, fascia, skeletal and nervous system to the viscera through the whole process of own movement exploration.
