The Alexander Technique

The good news is you will not have to learn any new exercises or stretches.  We work together on daily activities like standing and sitting, walking and laying down (yes…laying down). There are no special clothing requirements. There are no special gadgets or doodads to purchase. As we work together, we refine your overall coordination. Once a good working foundation has been reestalished the applications are limitless.

Many studies use 24 sessions as a starting point. If you  would  like  to  use the  technique  therapeutically then  expect to work for at least 24 weeks. 10  weekly  sessions  will  provide  a  good  grounding  in  the  basic  principles  and  procedures  of  the  work.

When you are ready to take a session email me  to book an individual session or join a  group class.
