RePattern

RePattern I've been teaching for over 35 years and recently retired from public school. I believe everyone can be successful given the right tools.

Three things happen here:
• music classes for children,
• movement and timing sessions for
people with ADHD, and
• movement lessons that reduce tension
and promote ease. RePattern allows me to help children who are struggling in school and adults dealing with pain or chronic stress. In music education it's the primary music skills (keeping a beat and singing in tune) that lay the foundations

for literacy, understanding, and good musicianship. In general education it's learning to focus on the right things that allow children to learn and grow. In the workplace it's a vast array of skills that build a foundation for successful work. It all begins with movement! My methods are non-invasive, non-medical, and don’t include drugs. They involve listening, moving, identifying patterns, and improving coordination between brain and body. The work has many case studies to back it up. It seems simple, but the effect on the nervous system is powerful!

Why your attempts to improve your posture aren't working.

How can we do less? It sounds easy! Letting go of muscle tension we don't need takes a bit of practice, but it's totally worth it because it saves energy. Wouldn't it be nice to think you'll have something left for yourself after you're done working?

YES! There are times when rest is easy. Other times it's hard to settle down and actually be calm. It's all about the state of the nervous system. When you're running on the sympathetic side, you can feel the buzzing when you physically stop. If you can flip to the parasympathetic side, you'll feel much more of gentle hum that allows rest to happen. Flipping the switch is the trick. Studying the Alexander Technique is one way to learn how to make the changes on a daily basis. Ask me for more information!

Ask me about lessons! Alexander Technique is great for dealing with tension and stress, but it’s also great for walking/hip/knee issues as well as shoulder/neck/upper back issues.

Curious about reducing tension and moving through daily life with more ease? The Alexander Technique is a gentle, practical approach that helps you become more aware of how you use your body so you can release unnecessary strain and feel more balanced.

Whether you’re dealing with chronic discomfort, stress-related tension, or just want to move and feel better overall, this work can be a helpful reset.
