Over 100 years ago F.M. Alexander was looking for a way to resolve recurring vocal problems. Today the Technique is proven effective for relieving chronic and recurring back pain (as shown in a 2008 study in the British Medical Journal), injury prevention and recovery, enhancing performance skills, stress reduction and much more.

Join Rachel in a small friendly group class environment. Students will participate in group activities, demonstrations, and discussion. Each student will receive individualized attention and have the opportunity to observe others in the learning process.

Walking, bending, speaking, and other daily activities can be transformed when we shift our awareness, creating the opportunity for change.

Testimonials from past group class students:

"I'm falling asleep faster and sleeping more deeply, and waking up with much less back pain."
-Kevin Bailey, IT Manager and singer

"Rachel brings her experience, professionalism, training and compassion into this learning situation. She so obviously cares about this work and about sharing it with others, so others can move forward and improve the quality of their own lives. Rachel shares her own story as a performing artist and what this work has done for her art. Throughout my experiences in Rachel's classes, I have continuously been blown away by the metaphorical resonance of this work; the Alexander Technique is life. I am extremely grateful to have had Rachel introduce this important work to me; it has changed my life."
-Janet Zamparo, Professor of English Literature and singer

"The Alexander Technique helps me relax and feel more comfortable in my body. I am more at peace in my own body."
-Bohdana Smyrnova, Filmmaker
