TOUCH AND PSYCHOTHERAPY THROUGH THE ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE

Alexander Technique: A gentle, body-oriented approach to get in touch with your feelings.

“You translate everything, whether physical or mental or spiritual, into muscular tension." 
--F.M. Alexander 1869-1955

What is Alexander Technique?

Alexander Technique is a gentle, non-Invasive technique that helps you to identify your habitual patterns of posture. Traditionally, Alexander Technique has been used by performers, such as actors or musicians, to increase their physical usage while managing fatigue and pain.

Alexander Technique and Psychotherapy

Alexander Technique can also be used to locate physical manifestations of emotional distress. The first step in this process is awareness. Identifying how you stand when you are depressed, anxious, or under stress, in combination with insight oriented psychotherapy, is a powerful intervention for managing your feelings and making actual changes in your attitude. Becoming aware of habitual patterns of holding helps you to inhabit and direct your body into a new way of being, surpassing old ways of holding the body that reflect childhood traumas, emotional and/or physical abuse.


How I Incorporate Alexander Technique in My Practice

A look into my office setup in Brooklyn reveals how I work. There are two comfortable chairs facing one another and a massage table for somatic work.  Each session begins with dialogue, allowing you to reflect on your week and how emotions have shown up in your daily life.

I listen carefully to both what you share and how you express it, paying attention to language, tone, and physical presence. Together, we bring awareness to patterns that may signal a disconnect between thoughts, feelings, and the body.

At a natural point in the session, we may move to the massage table for gentle, hands‑on somatic exploration guided by the principles of the Alexander Technique. This process helps identify areas of tension and release emotional or physical holding patterns rooted in past experiences.

Through this approach you can:

  • Recognize emotional patterns held in the body

  • Release habitual tension

  • Cultivate mindfulness and emotional clarity

Clients find themselves leaving the session feeling like they are stripped of old defenses and more available to make new attachments.
