Mandy Kealy — Founder of Somaself & Feldenkrais Practitioner
Hi, I’m Mandy — a long-time student of the body, movement, and the innate human intelligence that lives within us all. For more than 30 years, I’ve been exploring how we can move with more ease, feel better in ourselves, and live more connected, embodied lives.
I’m a certified, full-time Feldenkrais practitioner and the founder of Somaself. My journey has taken me around the world, studying and certifying with some of the most respected teachers in somatic movement, yoga, meditation, Pilates, and Body-Mind Centering— long before I eventually found my true home in the Feldenkrais Method.
My Feldenkrais training began with the four-year Guild-certified Feldenkrais training in Perth Australia, and since graduating in 2009, I’ve had the privilege of deepening my practice with several of the Method’s most senior teachers, including Mia Segal, Ruthy Alon, and Chava Shelhav, leading me to train in Mind Body Studies (MBS), Bones for Life (BFL), and ChildSpace, each of which continues to enrich and inform my work.
My Purpose
Before settling on the Sunshine Coast Australia in 2020, I spent several years travelling internationally as a visiting practitioner at a number of respected wellness retreats and destination spas. I also ran a busy practice from my home clinic in Phuket, Thailand, where I supported a wide range of clients—from parents and their babies to athletes, musicians, and those recovering from injury or living with chronic pain.
Along the way, I’ve taught in hospitals, retreats, and community settings, and continue to be inspired by how the Feldenkrais Method gently helps people rediscover comfort, mobility, and a deeper connection with themselves.
I believe we all have the capacity to move well, to feel better, and to age with grace. My role is to help you reconnect with that possibility — not by fixing, but by listening, guiding, and helping you rediscover your own internal intelligence.
Whether you’re in pain, recovering from injury, feeling stuck, or simply curious about what more ease might feel like — you’re welcome here.
