Where do sessions take place?	Dominique generally offers her sessions in one of three settings: in a peaceful studio/spa in Palo Alto and also San Diego at your home in "the field" (This could be a golf course, gym, concert hall, and so on - wherever you need special work with your posture and breath.)
What should I wear for a session?	You come dressed for the session in clothes in which you can move comfortably.
How long does a session last?	The sessions last 45 minutes, or 30 minutes according to people's need or interests. For couples, sessions last one hour.
How many sessions are recommended?	Depending on your goals and needs, you may wish to enroll in a series of sessions over several weeks. Many students find the more they learn, the more successful they are at applying the skills of the Alexander Technique to just about every aspect of their lives. During the first session, Dominique will discuss with you a recommended number of sessions, given your goals and needs.

At your first session, you and Dominique begin by assessing how you use your body in the "core skills"- the actions that all of us take minute-by-minute in our lives. To do this, Dominique performs gait and posture analysis by observing your movement patterns as you walk, sit, stand, and so on.

With this information, Dominique identifies how you are misusing your body - in short, what you do that limits you and creates unnecessary tension and pain.

As this analysis is happening, Dominique guides you, with her hands and her gentle touch, into the proper alignment.What follows is what Dominique refers to as "an experience of well being." She gently guides you through a series of movements that demonstrate just how good you can feel when you stop interfering with the natural laws of the body.

You will leave the session feeling light, boyant, free, and centered - and becoming familiar with the tools you need to reaccess that place of comfort.

In Later Sessions...
We change our habits of posture, movement, and breath step by step. In each session with Dominique, you will learn how to refine and strengthen your connection to a healthy stance and movement pattern.

After building a strong foundation with the core skills of your life, you can now work with more complex activities - swinging a golf club, running, dancing, cooking, driving a car, lifting weights. In her studio, Dominique also works with you lying down on a massage table. It is often people's favorite part. Skillfully holding your head and limbs, she helps you participate consciously in the release of tensions and teaches you techniques that can help you de-stress and re-energize.

With Dominique, you learn how to adopt an attitude of "allowing" with which you invite yourself to experience poise and natural posture.
