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.
