Alexander Technique

(she/her)

I want you to feel at home in your body to do what you love. I’m known for my grounded, organizational touch, and nerdy-yet-intuitive approach to the work of the Alexander Technique and Somatic Experiencing®.

A life-long mover, I grew up dancing, playing soccer, singing, and acting. I was led to AT seeking holistic care after a series of shocks left me feeling trapped and “stuck” in my body & emotions. After trying many modalities, the slow, mindful work of the Alexander Technique began to bring me back home to my body, rewire my nervous system and movement patterning, and give me a renewed sense of grounding and possibility. After finishing 1600 hr teacher training in NYC, I became the youngest assistant to the BAC Teacher Training Course, and joined the Alexander Technique Faculty at American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC. Over the last 5 years, I’ve enjoyed working with people to recover from surgeries, navigate hyper-mobility, resolve performance “blocks,” and settle in their bodies. After seeing how emotional blocks often shifted through AT, I sought out further training in Somatic Experiencing® Trauma healing to gain skills for resolving trauma that’s held in the body.

Using light touch, we’ll work together at your own speed, untangling holding patterns in your body brought on by stress , and giving you more awareness of your unique body and how you move through the world. I’ll accompany you as you learn how to use your body in a way that cooperates with your unique structure, avoids wear-and-tear on your joints and muscles, and offers a greater sense of pleasure in motion.

A recent transplant from NYC, I’m psyched to be living in Northampton with my young family. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy slow mornings with my toddler, outdoor fun, theater projects, and getting to know my local community.
