Alexander Technique

I started working with a chiropractor after having major issues with back tension as well as tmj related pain. He casually mentioned the Alexander Technique as something I could look into to help with my alignment, movement, etc. He said it would be helpful.
I found Sharon on Unilocal and wondered if she could help me considering it seemed like this technique was for actors. I teach second grade and was not sure this was for me, but I figured I would give it a try.
My first session with Sharon was awesome. She was open, nurturing, gentle… I could go on and on. I decided to take the 10 week course and slowly learned so much about my body. This technique is not just for actors, believe me. Everyone would benefit from taking classes with Sharon.
When I first met Sharon I had an eye twitch, carpel tunnel pain, jaw pain, severe neck and upper back pain, as well as headaches. Through my work with her I learned how to sit, stand, walk, pick up things, breathe, and rest. I even learned how to talk to myself/​body to release tension in my muscles. All of my issues have gone away and when they do show up, I am able to apply what I’ve learned to release myself into pain free movement.
Needless to say, I am a changed woman! My only regret is not signing up for the 25 week course. I will not make that mistake twice. I cannot wait to work with her again. Give her a try! Your body will thank you.

I have only been about 6 times to private lessons and I already feel a huge shift in my body! I am walking taller and straighter with ease and grace. Sharon is not only extremely knowledgeable with technique, she is a fabulous teacher. She really understands my needs!

I love Sharon so much, she is so in tune with a student’s needs. The technique she has taught me has allowed me to calm my nerves during times of stress and reconnect with my breath. I’d recommend her to anyone looking to release anxiety, gain awareness and be more efficient and effective in everyday life. Better than therapy!

i have been working with sharon for over 6 years and she remains a remarkable teacher. she extremely intuitive and knows exactly how to create a safe space where my body can let go and find its natural position of calm and ease. i hear her voice pop into my head throughoug the week, giving me gentle reminders to be kind to my body and reconnect to myself. learning the alexander technique has empowered me to change the situations of stress in my life. and when i do encounter stress, i have the tools to cope with them. i was injured on the job from repetitive computer use and she has helped me cope tremendously with my pain. i highly recommend her to everyone i know who deals with chronic pain or wants to feel more ease in their body and in their life.

Sharon has been my Alexander Technique teacher for nearly 8 years. I just had an amazing session with her where I learned things about the way I have been using my body lately that is causing pain in my lower back. Wow. Alexander Technique is mind blowing. It’s simple and effective. Sharon’s experience and natural ability to teach keeps me coming back! I highly recommend trying it to anyone who has chronic pain, or just wants to move more freely. If you are curious about AT, she posted some great videos of her teaching on YouTube that show the process!

Sharon is a wonderful teacher. I started looking into Alexander Technique for my sister who has chronic back pain. The statistics for people alleviating this type of pain through AT are impressive. I then started having mild pain from sciatica so decided to give it a try. I have since done some physical therapy & do regular stretching & strengthening exercises and haven’t had the pain in months! The skills Sharon teaches you will stay withyou forever and help you in all aspects of life. She is warm and fun to be around and I feel like I gained not only a teacher but a friend.

I went to Sharon with pain in my neck that went all the way down my arms to my hands. Thirty minutes into our first session, the pain was GONE and it has not returned! Sharon is a terrific Alexander Technique teacher. Working with her has been invaluable for me, especially since I spend most of my working hours writing on a laptop. Now I’m able to work with less physical tension and know how to alleviate any tension that does build up. If you have aches and pains, book an Alexander Technique session with Sharon. You will not regret it!

Sharon is just wonderful — I’ve been taking Alexander Technique from her for 2 years and I can’t begin to describe how powerful a change it has been in my life! Her understanding of it is flawless and she’s just a wonderfully gifted teacher. I highly recommend Sharon!

I «won» a private lesson at a silent auction, and knowing nothing about the technique went. Even that one lesson was miraculous. It easily and painlessly resolved neck pain I frequently experienced at the computer and while driving. I signed up for the 10 lesson package and have found it to be the most exciting new learning in my life in a long time. I’ve learned how to notice what I’m actually doing with my body and to make different choices. The thinking behind the technique has been so valuable emotionally as well as physically. In many ways it’s what I was always trying to get from meditation, but without all that sitting. Sharon is a gifted teacher.
update: 2 years later — still loving it and learning to find anxiety in my body and let it go. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
