I tried Alexander Technique classes because I wanted to live free of pain and I realized I had to change something. I didn’t want to run in circles anymore as I did in my busy life, and I was ready for a new lifestyle. I learned to use the computer without hurting myself, to dance with balance but without unnecessary strain and to live without unnecessary tension.
I began my teacher training at the Toronto School of the Alexander Technique, and I graduated from the Escuela de Técnica Alexander de Buenos Aires. I am certified by the Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique, and I am a member of the American Society for the Alexander Technique and the Asociación Argentina de Técnica Alexander. I continue to learn through continuing education with master teachers. I also play the violin and enjoy dancing and running.
My fascination with pain and recovery from pain led to study. I obtained a Therapeutic Pain Specialist certificate and have completed numerous hours of training in pain science and rehabilitation. I am currently studying in the Masters of Science in Medicine (Pain Management) program at the University of Sydney.
I currently conduct private and group classes and in-company training and coaching in Montana in the U.S. and in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Classes are in English, Spanish or Japanese. Please contact me to schedule a class or training program.
