about us
Susan Liebowitz, owner/director
My vision for Perfect Balance has evolved from my experiences as a patient recovering from my own injuries, and as a growing practitioner.
Struggling to recover after an auto accident, I endured pain and headaches for too many years. Traditional western therapy did very little to help, and I didn't believe that drugs were the only solution. It was once suggested that I would have to stop my career in dancing in order to get better, but I had a sense that to stop moving was not the answer. As I continued to pursue a performing arts career, I was very fortunate to learn about other complementary therapies in the healing arts and somatic disciplines, and my healing process began.
My career transition started in 1997 with my graduation from the Feldenkrais Practitioner Training Program in Berkeley, where I learned movement education and therapy. I then became licensed by the State Board of Florida to practice Neuromuscular Therapy and Massage, and was later certified in Pilates in California.
Because of the complementary modalities and Pilates, I now enjoy my life without constant pain. It feels like a wonderful gift was shared with me, and this learning has been the way to better health.
My joy is to share what I know to help others.
My background includes working with Healthwell Physical Therapy and Body of Work in San Francisco, as well as Frances Langley D.C. and the Center For Sports Medicine (St. Francis Hospital) in Walnut Creek.
