Alexander Technique Training

“My method helps you bring your own body into alignment and create an environment in which the healing can begin. The human body is the ultimate healer – our deep habits are THE REAL MEDICINE.”

What is it?

I call it “the homeopathic Xanax” because of how relaxed and unbothered the Technique makes me feel. Technically, it’s just improving body awareness. I don’t heal anyone; I’m not that powerful. But your body is that powerful. Together we investigate the interferences that prevent optimal breath or movement.

We are in a renaissance of embodied agency within functional medicine. If you have chronic pain, that’s a great sign there’s not more work to “do”, but more patterning to UNDO. By altering how you hold yourself in everyday activities, you eliminate inefficient habits, heal faster, and live more comfortably in your body.

Physical Therapy focuses on FACILITATION - turning on muscle. Alexander focuses on INHIBITION - turning off muscle.

Referring to INHIBITION as PAUSING, RESETTING, or UNDOING helps clarify the process through better understood cues. PT/AT are not opposite, but complementary. In one study on Alexander + PT, synergistic benefit of both staggeringly outpaces either intervention by itself.

Benefits of Alexander Technique

Body Awareness:
It is an education applicable to your whole life. The freedom and space we create you keep for free.

Pain Relief:
Alleviate chronic pain, especially in the neck, back, and joints.

Improved Posture:
Better “use” of head/neck/spine enhances balance and coordination.

Stress Reduction:
Reduce mental stress through mindful movement.

Enhanced Performance:
Boost your performance in physical activities and everyday tasks.

How It Works

The Technique involves gentle, hands-on guidance (tactile cues) and instruction (verbal cues) to help you become more aware of your movement patterns. Through a series of sessions, you will learn to:

Observe the breath and practice non-interference.
Recognize and release tension.
Develop a more efficient way of moving.
Comprehend and apply these principles to daily activities such as sitting, standing, walking, and lifting.

Who Can Benefit?

The Alexander Technique is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels. Whether you are dealing with chronic pain, looking to improve your posture, or seeking to enhance your performance in sports or the arts, the Alexander Technique can offer valuable insights and practical tools for lasting change.
