What are Dianne’s students saying?

“Having come to Alexander Technique after years in a demanding finance career, Dianne understands from personal experience how the everyday pressures of work and life can affect one over the years in unexpected and painful ways. She brings compassion to her teaching and the assurance that what many feel is ‘just the way life happens’ can truly be changed. She helped me to understand how my body and mind function and also how I can come to a new and better understanding and awareness.”

“One benefit of virtual lessons is that Dianne gives a detailed explanation of what is happening.  I find the explanations along with the explorative exercises work well for me.  Dianne’s insight led to lessons that gave me an opportunity to explore and release emotional stresses that I had walled off from myself.  Her insight is a valuable quality that leads me to recommend her as an instructor.”

“During the pandemic, I was dealing with grief while also recovering from Covid. I was seeking a bit of peace and ease that I could maintain on my own. Over Zoom, Dianne was able to gently bring my awareness to habits that were amplifying my physical and emotional pain.  Reminding me to be compassionate with myself, she taught me to expand my awareness outward (to the space around me, to my goals, to the relationship between my thoughts and the feelings they create in my body). These lessons brought me to a place of peace, gave a calm quality to my relationship to my pain (reducing it) and repeatedly eased and deepened my breathing.

In person, Dianne’s touch is compassionate and gentle; it is wise and informative. When we worked together, I felt seen, heard and understood. She is excellent at translating her knowledge into an experience that I can remember and access on my own.”
