Hello! Welcome to my page! I support actors, singers, public speakers, and leaders in the corporate realm to free, strengthen, and develop their voices free expression and effective communication.
The Alexander Technique was developed by Frederick Matthias Alexander (1869-1955), a Tasmania-born Shakespearean actor who repeatedly lost his voice during performance. After visiting several doctors to little or no avail, he decided to take matters into his own hands. By observing his use of himself in rehearsal, he discovered several habitual patterns that were interfering with his potential as an orator, resulting in the chronic vocal strain. Over time, he learned to inhibit these patterns and redirect his physical energies, thus rehabilitating his voice and preventing further injury. His health and well-being improved to such a degree that he decided to teach others what he’d learned, thus creating The Alexander Technique.
This way of observing and redirecting how we carry out every task in our lives is at the heart of the Technique. By gently interrupting how we engage in even the smallest of tasks, we can unlock our own potential for greater physical ease, mental clarity, relaxation, happiness, and poise.
