Hours

I teach Tuesday through Saturday.

Early morning and evening appointments are available.
My first appointment is 9 am and my last appointment is 6 pm on most days.

Lessons are approximately 50 minutes. You should wear clothes that you can move in easily.


Recommendations

The Alexander Technique is best learned through one-on-one lessons that are geared toward your individual needs.

I encourage you to come for two lessons as an introduction.

It is recommended to come at least twice a week in the beginning. Having less time between lessons means that you don't have to re-learn so much at each lesson. If your schedule allows for coming just once a week, know that you will still learn a tremendous amount at each lesson.

12- 36 lessons provides a great foundational course in the Alexander Technique. The range represents the very individual way people learn the Technique. Many people choose to continue lessons (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly) beyond this range to further their understanding and ability, work through deeply held habits, and as a way to keep what they learned fresh.

I offer phone consultations (complimentary) for first time students. This is often a helpful way to assess whether learning the Alexander Technique is appropriate for you.

All lessons and classes to which a discount is applied are to be paid and scheduled at time of first lesson. If you need to pay in installments, that option is possible.

I accept credit cards, however check or cash is preferred.
A 4% additional charge is required for credit cards.

I respectfully request a 24 hour notice to change or cancel appointments. Missed appointments will be charged at your lesson rate.

For paired lessons that are scheduled singly, if one person is unable to attend, the individual lesson rate will apply.

For the groups of paired lessons, to which a discount is applied, if one person is unable to attend, there is no reimbursement for that person's portion.

I look forward to working with you and teaching you this delightful approach to vitality. Please feel free to call me with any questions you might have.
