“I took seminar on Alexander Technique (AT) with Janet earlier this year, and found it both fascinating and useful.

I really came to appreciate how little I really know about my own body, how I move, and the habits I may have picked up that interfere with my health or physical activities. AT is great way to learn what you’re REALLY doing with your body–how you walk, how you stand up, how you lie down. It then helps you correct any problems or long-standing habits by gently returning the body (and voice!) to their natural balance. It is quite effective.

Janet herself is a very kind, giving person, a good teacher and a gentle, perceptive coach. Highly recommended.” Malcolm D.
