My experience with the Alexander Technique
Performing Artist (Violist):
Before the Alexander Technique, I never felt very comfortable playing my viola and felt I had reached a plateau in my progress. This technique has helped me grow and flourish as a performer with less effort and stress.
Injuries, pain and tension
By the age of 23, I was diagnosed with herniated cervical disks, pinched nerves, tendonitis, thoracic outlet syndrome, rotator cuff and knee damage. Now in my late 30's, despite these injuries, my body has learned to move more freely with little to no pain.
Anxiety and nerves
After suffering from panic attacks and continuous anxiety for most of my childhood and early adulthood this work has helped me learn to regulate my nervous system back into balance and step out of instinctual fight or flight mode.

I am a professional violist and passionate educator. I spent several years studying music performance, achieving a bachelor's degree, master's degree, and artist diploma in the discipline. After years of experiencing debilitating pain and anxiety, much of which was related to my activities as a performer, I discovered the Alexander Technique. Over the past 8 years, the Alexander philosophy and process transformed my life in remarkable ways and inspired me to become a certified Alexander Technique teacher so that I could help others experience similar transformations.
I have 6 years of intensive, in-person, hands-on training from the Philadelphia School for the Alexander Technique. Upon graduation, I received national certification to teach and am currently pursuing international certification. I have years of experience in leading remote and in-person sessions and workshops for college classes, individuals, and groups.
My Classes
My Background
My Background
Classes are playful and experimental. I provide a safe space for students to explore learning to combine tactile, kinesthetic, visual and social stimuli into one sensory soup!
Movements are not strenuous and can be tailored to your needs. Movements range from supportive lie downs to improvisatory movements. I love thinking outside the box
