Yoga teachers, yoga practitioners, students of meditation keen to improve their alignment from the inside out. They carry that effortless alignment and a new level of awareness and calmness into their daily life.	Working with Dominique was inspiring and profound. -John Friend, Founder of Anusara Yoga When my chronic neck pain flared up and tried and true chiropractic treatment did not help, I sought out Dominique. In a few brief lessons, she gave me skills to proactively manage the pain -- something I had felt powerless to do before. Then, through Alexander Technique and voice work, I was unexpectedly lead to the emotional source of the flare up itself. My work with Dominique helped me to make a life change that supported my well-being. She is a true healer. Lisa A, Executive manager, meditator.
Performing artists, musicians, actors and dancers who want to ensure unrestricted movement and breathing, free up spontaneity, increase their range of expression and refine their art.	After one session, when I performed, I had the whole tone from the lower to the upper. The sound was all there. My body was totally balanced, confident. I had a lot of breath. I felt grounded. I had power. It helped me start the note without a problem. I did not have to reach for the note, it was natural. - Audrey E, Singer When I am working in a film, there is a lot of standing to do. I remember to apply what I have learned with Dominique and I don't get tired, I can sustain the level of energy I need. - Peggy Lipton , actress
Public speakers and business executives eager to enhance their presentation skills, improve their vocal projection and increase their stamina as well as their ability to be relaxed.	Strangely I have more time and find that I am no longer swept along by the pace of work and seem to have found more objectivity in my problem solving. The 'buzz' of excitement has been replaced by a sense of calm that I found unnerving at first, but now recognize as a prelude to increase effectiveness. -Fred Clarke, General manager Now, with the help of the Alexander Technique, I can eliminate the tension within seconds of becoming aware of its onset. This allows me to think creatively in my preparation for the sales interview. I arrive cool, calm and collected. Improved posture and relaxation techniques enable me to work for loner periods without tiring. Alex Filipovic, Marketing consultant
Surgeons, dentists, doctors, whose profession involves a high level of physical precision and sustained focus.	As a doctor, I use the Technique to increase my ability to focus for extended periods and to increase my stamina in challenging surgical procedures. Tom W, Emergency doctor I do have more stamina, my body fatigues less. I am a better surgeon. I concentrate better. There is a sense of stability in intense situations. There is a center and I am in touch with it. I am more effective technically. With the alignment and openness, I am more effective with people as well. I can handle their energy without being taken off center. Dr Bill L, Surgeon Berkeley Feb 2006
People who are physically uncomfortable due to stress, postural habits or old injuries.	Instead of standing up straight with great effort, I learnt with Dominique to allow my body to be uplifted. Instead of gripping to my neck, I have my head floating. Although I have three slipped discs, I haven't had any sciatica pain since she helped me. - Mrs. Betty R
People who wish to regain more of their ease, flexibility, tone, breath, strength, expressiveness and grace.	This new awareness helps me disengage from uncomfortable habits, as soon as my body is reminded of its natural state, I can rediscover and maintain on my own, my true self, my own true power. - Subie B.
Teenagers who start having back pain and for whom being told "sit up straight" does not work as it never did for you.

After only three lessons with you about the Alexander Technique I've noticed improvements in my work -out at the gym. In addition to my subjective experience of doing better, I actually have an objective measure, called the Performance Index. My efficiency is improving.

I am clearer about what I feel, quicker to give an opinion, less hesitant. I am able to express myself more clearly, with less anxiety. I am being empowered to say : enough, or no.

I learnt with you to relax by myself, and it is not necessary to set aside some time. I can do it while walking, sitting, talking to people.

Andrew Rettig, Bank officer

 

 

After only a few weeks, Dominique had me walking energetically with a lively stride, erect and tall. My shoulders are less rounded, my slouchy way of sitting is just history and possibly best of all, my low back stiffness and pain is no more.

Your sessions made me more alert, more controlled, more organized.
