Experience the Alexander Technique!

Since my teenage years, I have had chronic neck pain and TMJ issues. And everything got worse when I started working, since my job requires physical tasks such as bending over patients for long periods of time. My journey to solve this problem led me into Alexander Technique.

I have been working with Rebecca in person & online for about a year and a half, and she has taught me how to notice the tension that I never realized I had, how to let it go, and to move in a way the body is designed to move. She is very passionate and patient with me, also helping me to apply what I learn to real life. I have never felt this better with my pain and posture, it is so liberating when the pain that seemed never-ending finally disappears!

I'm a dentist, and I started seeing Rebecca on a recommendation from a dear friend who's a talented singer. I've had issues with my voice, got diagnosed with nodules on my vocal cords and was recommended voice therapy. I didn't really know what to expect when I started with Rebecca, as I had never heard of Alexander Technique. But I went, trusting my friend.

Well, I can say that I got something more than what usual voice therapy brings. I have begun to learn how to release tension from my whole body, including my throat. I was wound up so tight that I couldn't feel what was going on with my body, and slowly but surely, it's like I'm discovering myself and realizing I don't have to walk around with all this tension. I'm learning how to let go at any time and any moment!

I feel more relaxed after seeing Rebecca than I felt after even the best massage I've ever gotten. I can't explain how she does what she does but it's powerful and she truly knows what she's doing!

I am truly grateful for having found Rebecca, as is my husband who started seeing her a few months after me as well. I highly recommend Rebecca and the Alexander Technique, it's life-changing.

I have hyper-kyphosis which I've used both physical therapy and yoga for, but the biggest results have some from the Alexander Technique. I've learned how to bring my thinking into my movement, and it has helped me tremendously with my posture and overall energy levels. I feel more grounded, confident and secure in my body.

Rebecca is an excellent teacher with a thorough understanding of what she is teaching. I've attended in-person classes with her for about 1.5 years but have moved online for the most part since COVID and I'm still getting results from our online sessions. Rebecca knows her stuff and is willing to walk you through how Alexander works. And I can attest this Technique does work.

I came to Rebecca to get help with my jaw pain (I grind my teeth) and my pelvis, which I had injured after falling. I discovered a full-body relief! I also have hypermobile joints and working with Rebecca has helped me learn to move the way I should, instead of the way that I had been. She helped me work thought the habitual tensions I carried with me and showed me how to find better ways to stand, to walk, to BE.

I cannot stress enough how the Alexander Technique and Rebecca have changed my life for the better. As a teacher, Rebecca is calming and knowledgeable: she always knows how to describe what to do in a way that makes it click in your brain

I started Alexander Technique with Rebecca to assist with my singing and acting performance, but her skills have enhanced my life in ways I did not expect. I have Ankylosing Spondylitis and had surgery on my neck (C5/C6 fusion) a few years ago.

Alexander Technique has helped me reduce my experience with chronic pain by giving me a greater awareness of where I'm holding tension and how to let go of it. I highly recommend Alexander Technique with Rebecca Poole

I have found Alexander to be essential both as a performer, and as a human being. As a man with an essential tremor, the effect it has had on my ability to control that has been tremendous. As an extremely tall person (6'6") it has helped me avoid self-consciousness, and mitigate potentially harmful postural adjustments I have made because of my height. As an actor, it has opened me up emotionally and vocally, as well as relaxed me on stage. Alexander is a tool every performer should have.

In my 7 years studying with Rebecca, I have learned a huge amount about myself, I have never felt self-conscious in a lesson, and I have always left her classes feeling more in control of my body. She is non-judgmental, eternally helpful, and intensely knowledgeable and passionate about her field of expertise. I cannot recommend her enough, though I have certainly tried.
