The Alexander Technique is an educational method that teaches practical skills for relieving stress, managing pain, and improving overall performance. It focuses on how to use your body and mind in a more integrated and efficient way, supporting psychophysical unity and indirect change, rather than forceful effort.
When used therapeutically, the Alexander Technique is considered a complementary approach to health care—intended to be used alongside conventional treatments, not as a replacement for them. According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), this positions it as complementary, not alternative, therapy.
The good news? You won’t need to learn any new exercises or stretches.
Instead, we focus on everyday movements — standing, sitting, walking, and yes, even lying down. These simple activities become the foundation for lasting change.
There’s no need for special clothing; wear something comfortable (and socks). And there are no gadgets or tools to buy — everything you need, you already have.
As we work together, we refine your natural coordination and movement patterns. Once a strong foundation is re-established, the applications of the Alexander Technique are truly limitless.
Like learning any new skill, the Alexander Technique comes with a learning curve.
It takes time and practice to develop the core principles of inhibition and direction, which are central to the work. Many studies use a minimum of 24 sessions as a benchmark for meaningful progress — and in my experience, this is a solid starting point I recommend to new students.
If you're looking to use the Technique in a more therapeutic way, it's helpful to plan for at least 24 weeks of consistent study. This gives your body and mind time to integrate the work gradually and sustainably.
When you’re ready to begin, feel free to email me to book an individual session or to join a group class. I’d be happy to help you get started.
Our balance and support systems are designed to work in coordination with the head, neck, and back — a central relationship in how we move and function.
The Alexander Technique helps re-establish a conscious connection to this relationship, reducing the interference caused by habitual tension or misalignment. When the head, neck, and back are allowed to work together in harmony, our natural coordination is restored. As a result, freedom of movement, easier breathing, and a sense of natural poise begin to re-emerge. Most importantly, we gain the ability to respond to life with greater choice rather than automatic reaction.
People come to lessons for many different reasons, and I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals from all walks of life. Whether the goal is to enhance performance, prevent injury, support recovery, or simply feel more at ease in their bodies, the work is highly adaptable and deeply personal.
Here are just some of the areas and professions I’ve supported through the Alexander Technique:
Each person's journey is unique, and the Technique meets you where you are — supporting change from the inside out.
Jennifer Sielicki
Jennifer is the Director of the Alexander Technique Movement Center (ATMC) in Lebanon, New Hampshire. She has been deeply engaged with the principles of the Alexander Technique and movement education for over 30 years, working in both private practice and academic settings.
Jennifer was first introduced to the Alexander Technique while working in the banking sector. As part of her personal and professional development, she began studying business, finance, and psychology — a journey that eventually inspired her to pursue higher education. During a college tour in the UK, she attended an open house where she encountered the Alexander Technique. That moment proved transformative, reshaping both her vision and her vocation.
She went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts with Honors in Performing Arts from De Montfort University in Leicester, UK. At the time, the program was uniquely interdisciplinary, with a small cohort of 88 students studying music, dance, theater, and arts administration. Majoring in dance, Jennifer focused intensely on the Alexander Technique, exploring its application to technical ability, creative innovation, and performance development.
Her postgraduate studies took her to the European Dance Development Center (EDDC) in Arnhem, Netherlands, where she trained at both their Dutch and German campuses before relocating to New York City.
In 2003, Jennifer graduated from the Institute for Research and Development in the Alexander Technique (IRDEAT) in NYC. During her training and for several years afterward, she had the honor of assisting Ann Mathews in the Graduate Acting Program at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. She also served as a regular assistant on both the IRDEAT and American Center for the Alexander Technique (ACAT) teacher training programs from 2003 to 2009.
Jennifer now operates a private practice where she offers both individual and group classes, and she actively partners with local organizations to bring the Alexander Technique to a wide and diverse population.
She is a certified Teaching Member of the American Society for the Alexander Technique (AmSAT), the largest professional organization for Alexander Technique teachers in the United States. AmSAT maintains rigorous standards for training and professional practice. Certification requires 1,600 hours of in-person instruction over a minimum of three years in an AmSAT-approved program — considered among the highest standards of Alexander Technique training both nationally and internationally.
Jennifer currently serves as Secretary of the Board of Directors for AmSAT and is the Chair of the Continuing Education Committee.
