Teacher Bio

Residing in Binalong Bay Tasmania,  I teach the Gokhale Method Foundations Courses in Tasmania and throughout Australia. I have always had a passion for sports, running, keeping fit, and learning how to stay healthy and uninjured. Having taught dance aerobics and studied physiology and movement, I used what was considered the safest techniques available at the time. However, after discovering the Gokhale Method through “8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back,” I realised there was a better way to position and move the body.  Incorporating Primal Posture™ and alignment makes all the difference to the way I view healthy movement and posture today.

I am currently a massage therapist practising Hawaiian Lomi Lomi. This method allows me to relieve physical pain and tension and free up blocked energy in my clients. However, for years there was a desire in me to give them more information towards improving the quality of their lives on a day-to-day basis.  I would recommend Esther Gokhale’s book “8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back” to the majority of my clients. My drive to empower people to take control of their own pain management lead me to travel to California to gain my certification as a Gokhale Method® Teacher. There is no greater joy than working hands-on with people and empowering them to become and remain pain-free for life. I am the first teacher to bring this amazing program to Australia.

I am available to teach the Gokhale Method® Foundations Course in your city in AU or NZ. All you need is 8 people for a group class and I will come to you. There may be others interested in your city/town so if you gather some friends and you let me know your intentions, I can help add to the numbers to make it happen for you in your area. Contact Me on my Gokhale Teacher’s Page or call with any questions. Ph: 0428 223 271 or Email: michelle@gokhalemethod.com

Testimonials:

After a few years of lower back pain I discovered the Gokhale Method. It has absolutely changed my life. I am no longer limiting my activities and am no longer in pain every day! The foundation’s course was fantastic, it taught me everything I need to know about posture enabling me to now lead a pain-free life. I would recommend to anyone with back/neck or knee pain and now recommend it to a lot of my patients.

“Recently I had the pleasure of working with Michelle Ball as she taught me the Gokhale Method. Several months ago I had to resign from my job due to chronic back pain, this saddened me as I was only 39 & I thought this was the way my life was going to be. After finishing this new posture method I now have a new pain free life and the confidence to return back to work.”
