I trained for 1600 hours over the course of three years at the Oregon Center for the Alexander Technique to become an AmSat-certified teacher of the Alexander Technique.

I learned of the technique in 2002 through a referral from my physical therapist. I spent many years seeking relief from chronic back, neck, jaw, and knee problems due to gymnastics injuries and the stress of working at a computer for many hours. I found that rather than just addressing my symptoms, the Alexander Technique got to the root of the problem. I’ve learned a skill for living so that I can prevent injury and strain, as well as manage myself when I overdo it.
