Welcome
Philosophy
Every human being has a unique abilities and unique ways of learning. By harnessing each individual’s natural neuroplasticity—and applying cutting-edge, evidence-based approaches—I support meaningful change in movement, learning, and behavior.
Whether you or your loved one is navigating anxiety, sensory sensitivities, motor coordination challenges, or emotional regulation, my focus is to help you feel safe, grounded, and at home in your body—so daily life becomes easier, calmer, and more joyful.
At Neelambari’s OT & Feldenkrais Clinic in Sunnyvale, CA, I integrate neuroscience, sensory integration, and mindful movement to help you or your child develop meaningful skills, move with greater ease, and grow with confidence.
Get to Know Neelambari
My Approach is Rooted in knowledge. Guided by intuition
All human beings are wired for lifelong learning and growth.
As an Occupational Therapist and Feldenkrais®Practitioner, my work focuses on helping individuals rediscover that natural intelligence through awareness and simple, meaningful activities.
My approach blends Occupational Therapy (OT), Dance and Movement Therapy, Neuro Linguistic Programming and the Feldenkrais Method® to help the nervous system learn new, more efficient ways of organizing itself. This often leads to improvements in focus, posture, coordination, and emotional balance — but more importantly, it helps people feel at ease in their bodies and confident in their abilities.
Additionally, while working with children I draw inspiration from Montessori, Reggio Emilia, Waldorf, and HighScope philosophies, which emphasize curiosity, independence, and child-led learning. These values align closely with my OT and Feldenkrais® approach and shape the way I support each child’s growth.
