I teach the Alexander Technique, a body-mind method of learning to release excess tension in order to regain natural movement, restore health, recover from trauma, or explore the energetic connection between body, mind, and spirit. Using gentle touch and verbal guidance, in an hour-long private lesson, we let go of unconscious habit and reconnect to our authentic selves. I specialize in applying the AT to childbirth and the performing arts, but people from all walks of life can benefit from Alexander lessons. Semi-private lessons and group classes also available.

The Alexander Technique is a simple, practical method for re-directing tension
into useful energy. Private lessons provide an opportunity to observe how
habitual movement patterns can interfere with our daily lives and create dis-
comfort. The principles of Mr. Alexander's discoveries are applied to a wide
range of activities, from highly specialized performance skills to the everyday
tasks of sitting, standing and walking. Our movements are guided into unhabitual
territory by promoting awareness through the use of gentle hands-on work. We
learn to unleash more of our inherent balance, vitality and grace.

Human Design is a center for neuromuscular re-education dedicated to exploring the inherent ease of movement found in our unique human structure. Alexander Technique forms the cornerstone of our work. Other modalities supporting the classes and private lessons here include Reiki Energy Work, Tai Chi, Yoga, Pilates, and Authentic Movement.

The Alexander Technique was developed over a hundred years ago and is an educational process taught in most major theater dance and music programs in the world. While remaining an essential part of the Performing Arts, it's application is very valid in the sports arena, as well as computer use and public speaking.

By learning how to recognize and change faulty postural habits, which are often the cause of carpal tunnel, tendonitis, back, neck and knee issues, the Technique is a long term approach to many chronic problems.

Massage Basics

Massage is the practice of applying structured or unstructured pressure, tension, motion, or vibration — manually or with mechanical aids — to the soft tissues of the body, including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, joints, lymphatic vessels, and organs of the gastrointestinal system to achieve a beneficial response. Massage Therapy is performed primarily by a professional Massage Therapist but is often used as a form of therapy by other Healthcare practitioners such as Chiropractors, Osteopaths and Physical Therapists.

The types of massage I offer aid the processes of injury healing, relief of psychological stress, for pain management pain, and for the improvement of circulation. Explanation of the types of massage I am qualified to offer are listed in the Profile and Credentials section below.

In my practice I want you to be comfortable, therefore I have several treatment options available that involve lying on a massage table, sitting upright in a massage chair, or lying on a pad on the floor.

Communication

Good communication is essential to effective massage. Before we begin we will discuss the type of treatment expected: intention of the massage, areas to be massaged and to be avoided in full body massage, the amount of pressure that is comfortable, preferred techniques and how they will affect your body and overall wellbeing. Your first visit will include discussion of your medical history and current physical condition.

Balance is the key to health and wholeness on many levels. The Alexander Technique develops a dynamic, inner balance that “in-forms” the outer form of whatever activity you are engaged in at the moment. Thus you move more freely, sense more deeply, and think more clearly. It works most apparently with the musculoskeletal system, but differs from forms of physical development such as weight training in that it works from the INSIDE OUT: the mind is engaged in observing unconscious habits, inhibiting those actions, and giving directions that are more closely allied to the body’s natural coordination. The result is awareness of the HOW as well as the WHAT of your activity and the ability to CHANGE habits that are actually interfering with your well-being. Any activity can benefit from Alexander’s work, from sitting, standing, walking to more complex tasks like working at a computer, performing in public, engaging in athletics.

Instruction is both verbal and hands-on, using a gentle, non-manipulative touch. Many have found it relieves pain in areas of chronic tension such as the back, neck, and shoulders, and relieves stress as well.
