 Pregnancy & Parenting 

Years ago, when I was training to be an Alexander Technique teacher, my husband and I were at the beach, when I saw a mother talking to her small child of two or three.  The mother was young and athletic, but in her bearing, she looked like a very old woman.  She seemed stuck in a hunch, bending over to tend to her child.  Obviously something she had been doing a lot of for several years. 

​

“She needs Alexander lessons.”  I said to my husband, rather smugly.

​

Several years later, I received the ultimate blessing and the ultimate test: I became pregnant with triplets.  And now, as a mother of three wild children, I feel less smug.  Pregnancy and Parenthood have tested me beyond anything that know-it-all on the beach could have imagined.  What has been my crutch to lean on, my lovey to cling to, my secret weapon? Why the Alexander Technique, of course.

​

I would love to help you too.

In Balance Alexander Technique rests on unceded Indigenous land.  "The Portland Metro area rests on traditional village sites of the Multnomah, Wasco, Cowlitz, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Bands of Chinook, Tualatin, Kalapuya, Molalla, and many other tribes who made their homes along the Columbia River creating communities and summer encampments to harvest and use the plentiful natural resources of the area" (Portland Indian Leaders Roundtable, 2018).
