Johanne, Me, and Ellie kissed by the sun rise! We have had more spiders this summer than I can remember. Then last week, the early morning fog was thick and heavy. This created the most amazing opportunity to see...
What always surprises me is that often simple solutions can facilitate profound changes. I often say to my Alexander Technique students that you do not have to make a 180 degree turn to change your situation. All you have to do is move the...
Over the next few weeks, I want to share with you a few practices that I use to help address my stress levels. I don’t have to tell you that the world is a very taxing place these days so I have created this short video and audio...

If you are like me, you resist change. So do my ponies, Mo and Pip. This is what happened to me over the weekend. One morning I decided not to put the ponies’ breakfast hay near their gate, where I normally leave it. Instead, I put it closer to...
