As you learn the method, you organically discover... there's a better way to get the support you need as you move through life.
The Alexander Technique is a method for organic self-care and holistic learning. Over a course of mind-and-body sessions with a qualified Alexander Technique teacher, you learn how your body functions best. At the same time, you begin your natural healing process. The healing continues as you acquire the ability to instantly rebalance your movements, your breath and your posture throughout your daily activities.

Hope talks about her learning process...
"As a fledging, young choreographer—when a back injury stopped me in my tracks—the Alexander Technique gave me profound insight into my everyday patterns. These patterns showed up in my dancing as well. Feeling lost, a friend told me about the Alexander Technique and I found out help is possible, change is possible, with an Alexander Technique teacher!
After I learned how to restore my internal support system I was finally back on my feet. This new way of connecting to my mind-body-awareness gave me fluid control of my movements. Today, I use the method in so many ways: to improve my stamina, to dance better and walk without pain. Instead of resorting to solutions I can't live with long-term, I can make better choices for my health and improve my perspective.
Essential Oils Every Day by Hope Gillerman
Harper Elixir, Harper Collins
My line of H. Gillerman Organics' remedies evolved out of my love for essential oils and realizing how much they could help my Alexander Technique clients. Once I had created effective formulas, I decided to make my remedies broadly available to people dealing with all kinds of stress: through spas, retailers and now, exclusively, on my site."

Does this sound familiar?
Daily life is certainly harder as we become more sedentary and spend so much time looking down at our devices. It is no wonder we develop postural imbalance. Even with regular exercise we still have the challenge of staying connected to our breath and at home in our body. Some of the anxiety stems from the tension and pain and lack of oxygen caused our restricted movements,
If you have back pain, sit at the computer all day, are injured, or living with Parkinson's, H. Gillerman Organics can help you feel more comfortable in your body.
Whether you start with a few remedies or try out the a single, introductory session or experience a series of Alexander Technique sessions, you will develop a skill that sticks with you for the the rest of your life.... Hope Gillerman

An injured movers story
I moved to New York City in 1976 to pursue my life's passion as a dancer and choreographer. The city had become a global center for the dance world and collaborative arts. However, my hopes and dreams would immediately face intense challenges as I suffered a major injury that threatened my ability to perform. All of the excitement I felt about being in the city was quickly overshadowed by a feeling of hopelessness.
Immobilized by back pain, multiple doctors told me my only option would be to stop moving and quit dancing. I had a hunch my pain was due to poor training, so I began to seek out a way to retrain my physical habits. When I discovered the Alexander Technique, I immediately knew it would help me get to the underlying cause of my injury.
While I studied the Alexander Technique, I found a trained aromatherapist who understood the power behind using pure essential oils to curb anxiety and depression. I credit these two healing modalities with restoring my mobility, my mental health and my dance career.
The success of my own experience prompted me to go deeper into these two self-healing methods and build a private practice in NYC. I apprenticed under many of the world's most respected Alexander Technique teachers, and learned the secrets of ancient aromatherapy from the renowned Chinese herbalist, acupuncturist, and Daoist scholar Jeffrey Yuen L.Ac. His teachings prompted me to build a line of remedies to offer my clients more support for their pain, sleep, stress, and movement issues.
In 2008, I launched my line of H. Gillerman Organics essential oil remedies - suitable for spa treatments, as well as for at-home self-care.
As teacher of the AT Today
I rely on my forty+ years experience as a certified Alexander Technique instructor and my dance and movement background to support people living with pain, movement dysfunction and postural balance issues.
I work with musicians, visual artist and crafters to help them recover from or avoid repetitive strain injuries. A faculty member at numerous theater schools (Harvard and Boston University), I help actors to develop physical presence and avoid body problems. I work with sports and fitness enthusiasts to reduce strain, stiffness or injury. For people whose jobs or lifestyle (like gardening) is taking a toll on their health and wellbeing I identify poor movement choices and address their pain head on. In this way, I am able to tailor my sessions to my client's unique issues, interests, and abilities for optimal health and healing.
Learning the Alexander Technique is an empowering and healing process to enrich every aspect of your life. I invite you to schedule a free consultation with me on the phone so we can discuss the best way for you to improve your wellbeing today.
