All of us are able to move more comfortably and gracefully than we usually do. Ingrained habits, held tension, injuries, and misconceptions of the ways our bodies work interfere with our coordination.

About me

About meI have been teaching the Alexander Technique for about 30 years now. Presently I am offering Private Lessons at my home studio by appointment only.
I sometimes include Tai Chi, which was an important component of my Alexander Technique training, in my lessons.

My Philosophy of CareIn my late 30's I was studying Modern Dance and involved in renovating an old house. I began to have trouble with an old neck injury and difficulty with my shoulders. A friend offered me a book about the Alexander Technique.
This was new to me and I was fascinated.
My first A T lessons were transformative... as if someone had taken a lid off! I realized that I needed to know more about this. I continued with lessons and gradually began to feel my coordination changing and I was consciously able to move in ways that were less painful.
as i continued to study iI realized that teaching was a wonderful way to continue learning and I began my training at the Philadelphia School.
