A 2006 graduate of The Dimon Institute, I trained to become an Alexander Technique teacher under Ted Dimon, Beret Arcaya, John Nichols, and Nanette Walsh. AT Teacher-certification requires the completion of 3 years/1600 hours of in-person classwork.

I’ve been studying Alexander since 1994 when it was included as part of the Acting curriculum at Trinity Repertory Company Conservatory. I come to the Technique out of a professional Dance and Theatre background as well as from a need to understand and solve my chronic back pain (success!). 

I’m also certified to teach two other foundational Body/ Movement/Voice approaches that compliment AT: Lessac Kinesensics and the Michael Chekhov technique. To quote Ghostbusters, I “don’t cross the streams” unless you want to do so!

Because of my performing arts experience, I have a deep personal understanding of how working through the lens of the physical with Alexander can impact emotional presence and availability, as well as musicality and range. I served as lead Alexander teacher at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts for 5 years and enjoy working as an adjunct in performing arts and corporate wellness programs.

I’ve completed advanced, post-graduate training in teaching Alexander Technique online with Penelope Easten as well as post-graduate training in working with those on the hypermobile/ Ehlers Danlos Syndrome spectrum at Balance Arts Center.

I enjoy strong coffee, bad puns, & good satire. I have an associative mind and am happiest when I can spend time every day walking someplace green.
