Anita Bueno Movement & Design

Anita is a licensed landscape architect and a certified Feldenkrais practitioner^®. 

She has integrated the two professions, exploring the relationship between thought, movement, and the internal and external environments. For 10 years, she designed recreation areas for the US Forest Service, and for another decade she founded and directed BuenoLuna Landscape Design, (now Cummings Landscape Architecture), a residential design/build firm primarily focused on mitigating climate change through ecologically designed landscapes.

Chronic illness shifted her path, leading her to practice mindful self-awareness and teach the Feldenkrais Method of Somatic Education. Anita now uses embodied learning to inform her creative work, her relationship with herself and others, and generally, her overall approach to life. She looks forward to sharing what she's learned about process-driven living!

Anita has an MLA from UC Berkeley and a BA from Colgate University in philosophy and religion. She is a licensed landscape architect and a guild certified Feldenkrais practitioner. 

Her diverse background includes time living in India studying yoga and Carnatic dance and music, traveling her ancestral lands of Hispaniola and Central America, working as a bicycle mechanic, selling books, welding, pouring bronze sculpture, estate gardening, rock climbing the western US, bike touring Mexico and New Zealand, professional figure skating, and commercial fishing in the Bering Sea. 

For fun, Anita likes to watercolor, play guitar & percussion, grow food, knit, sew her own clothes, and generally learn new things. Anita currently lives in Hamilton, NY with her dog, Daisy.
