About me

I am a writer and teacher of the Alexander Technique in southwest Missouri, USA. I studied at the Urbana Center for the Alexander Technique (UCAT) and was certified in 1986. I have been on a quest for greater understanding of mind/body unity all of my adult life. Along the trail were experiences and reading in Reichian therapy, encounter group therapy, Rolfing, and tai chi. Years spent as a carpenter were very valuable in providing me numerous opportunities to experience the physics of use and the exhilaration in the physical.

I am working on a manuscript that has many image exercises, which include ”universal imagery” and “type-specific imagery” (applicable to various postural types) I will share this manuscript and additional imagery with sufficiently interested people.
