Meet Alice

My story…

I first found my way to Alexander Technique when I was struggling with chronic back pain, sciatica, and a foot injury. At this time, I was a dancer and my ability to rehearse and perform had been seriously compromised. I realized I couldn’t keep pushing through the pain and ignoring the signals my body was sending me. The Alexander Technique offered me an invitation to explore more deeply how I was using my body, and a framework for how to create the space needed for new choices, lasting change, and sustainable movement habits to emerge.

After my first private Alexander Technique session I felt like something new was possible. I felt like I had connected to the ground for the first time in months. It was a relief not only physically but mentally and emotionally. Over the next year, through integrating the Alexander Technique into my life I not only recovered from past injuries but learned a process that allows for greater ease, embodied presence, and flow in any movement, activity, or situation.

Inspired by AT’s embodied approach that integrates mind/body/self and wanting to share this work with others, I trained to be a teacher through the Balance Arts Center. I currently teach Alexander Technique to individuals and groups in Manhattan and Brooklyn, NY, Portland and Bath, ME, and online.

My teaching is informed by decades of personal study and practice in somatic practices, meditation, dance and performance, as well as training in MindBody Therapy and Mental Health Counseling.

I use curiosity, empathy, listening, and a non-judgmental approach to working with people and their bodies. I respect the innate wisdom of each unique person’s body and its history and sensitivity to this deep work. I work collaboratively with clients to help them move towards healing and their goals in an effective, compassionate, and practical way.
