I discovered the Alexander Technique over 20 years ago in a big group demonstration. The Alexander teacher went around the room gently repositioning each person’s head. I could see that something was changing every time but when he came to me it was an epiphany. The only way I can describe it is like being reintroduced to my body.
Like anyone, I thought I knew how to hold my head, walk, sit in a chair or even breath. But what I didn’t know is that even a small improvement in how I “use” my body could make such a giant change. Of course, I have taken many Alexander lessons since then, but today, over 20 years later, I still benefit from that first experience and I am sure that I look and feel better every moment of my life because of it.
I am passionate about the Alexander Technique and I am focused on getting my students where they want to be as quickly as possible. I trained in Boston for three years with some of the best teachers in the world and I am certified by the American Society for the Alexander Technique (AmSAT). I am also a certified personal trainer and I have a special certification in breathing coordination. For five years I was the editor of the AmSAT News and I am a former board member of the American Center for the Alexander Technique.
