Sample Alexander Technique Deliverables

Shellie’s track record covers a range of ways in which people have benefited from AT, as evidenced by the following examples:

 

International Consulting Firm

Delivered two separate workshops to refine communication skills and facilitate mindfulness.  Participants exhibited progress toward balanced functioning, reduced stress, heightened kinesthetic command, and improved powers of attention.

 

Global Pharmaceutical Company

Worked with senior executive in coaching context to facilitate leadership presence and influence. Client applied learnings to operate at a higher level, both professionally and personally – reporting more focused yet collaborative performance, as well as greater poise and gravitas.

 

Nationally Recognized Conservatory and University Music Programs

Worked with pre professional and professional musicians of every orchestral instrument through courses, workshops and private sessions to discover habitual patterns of misuse and apply AT to allow significant change.  Musicians played with more comfort, ease and confidence while creating better sound quality and dynamic range.

 

Nationally Recognized Vocal Arts and Opera Programs

Worked with undergraduate/graduate collegiate and professional opera programs via private coaching and workshops.  By incorporating AT principles, singers developed the means to consistently produce superior resonance and achieve better performance quality with less effort and more ease.

 

Internationally Recognized Dance Programs and Companies

Taught and coached pre-professional and professional dancers in studio and workshop settings to instill AT concepts regarding reflexive alignment, coordination and organization. Dancers experienced more fluid and free movement with increased flexibility, strength and inner calm.
