Libby Scofield
Welcome, I’m Libby Scofield and I’m a movement teacher. I’ve been teaching movement since 2006, I first trained to be a Pilates instructor, but I'm a continuing education addict and deeply curious about human bodies and how they move. Over the years I've trained with specialists in biomechanics, yoga, functional movement, foot health, gait, and core function.
So, when I work with clients I’m working from a deep toolbox of skills acquired through broadening my own understanding of how human bodies move, how we can change our bodies and our minds through movement, and why movement is so important.
Human bodies evolved with movement. Movement was required to survive, to eat, to have shelter, to find clean water. Today we regard movement as something we do to offset our eating and sitting habits. We call it exercise. Human movement is much more than exercise. Moving all day, in varying positions and durations is required for our bodies to function optimally. When I teach, I am teaching you functionalmovements. Movements that will help you regain lost ranges of motion and address muscular imbalances that may arise from repetitive movement patterns, or sedentary patterns that no longer serve your needs.
We all want to move better and feel better. Sometimes we aren’t sure whether something is helping us or not. I teach mindful observation skills so that you can become your own movement detective. Once you begin to have self-awareness, the changes you create in the moment and over time are observable.
Even in my very first training, Pilates, I specialized in Pre-hab/Rehab. I found helping people move better made me really happy. So while I've worked with people at both ends of the health spectrum and everything in between, I really enjoy teaching clients how to move better in order to free themselves from painful movement patterns and work towards healthy, pain-free movement. So restorative work has always been my specialty. I am skilled at breaking movement down to the components to make it easier for clients to understand and practice easily, throughout the day. The variations of human movement continues to be my best teacher. Restoring lost ranges of motion, restoring healthy movement, and restoring hope is what I love. I teach people to create lasting change in themselves and that’s incredibly empowering.
I’ve worked with clients from age 6 to 93-years-old, clients with major medical issues, elite athletes, opera singers, quilters, hikers, skiers, dancers and pretty much everything in between. And you know what? They all benefited from learning to observe their own movement, gaining the skills I teach, and incorporating them into their every day lives.
You already know how to move, let me help you move BETTER. Human movement is more than exercise. Human movement is getting up out of bed, performing kitchen and household tasks, caring for children, folding laundry, pruning the hedge, taking a walk with a friend, dancing at a wedding, planting a garden, and thousands of other everyday tasks. The list is infinite and only defined by one’s lifestyle and goals. As humans we do better and feel better when we are engaging and moving more of our bodies, more often. Movement is at the core of health. Motion is lotion, so let's move more and move more of you.
Conditions which may be improved by working with me:
· Plantar Fasciitis
· Flat feet, over pronation
· Diastasis Recti
· Hip pain
· Shoulder pain
· Low back pain
· Neck pain
· Knee Pain
· Pelvis and Sacroiliac issues
· Bunions
· Hernias
Just to name a few
The ways in which we move, or do not move our bodies can have noticeable and long-term effects. Moving more, moving more of your parts, and learning to observe your movement can make positive and lasting change a reality.

I found Pilates in 2000 and noticed how much stronger, more flexible and well balanced I felt.
