In 1980 she began studying as a direct student and uchi deshi to Morihiro Saito Shihan, 9th dan in Iwama, Japan, then travelled with Saito Shihan as his uke for a European tour.

In subsequent trips to Japan Feder Sensei trained with a number of other Shihan who trained under the founder. Feder Sensei has also trained with and been strongly influenced by Doran Shihan, Nadeau Shihan, Saotome Shihan, and Ikeda Shihan. She received the rank of 6th dan in 2004.
