Sharon is a wonderful teacher. I started looking into Alexander Technique for my sister who has chronic back pain. The statistics for people alleviating this type of pain through AT are impressive. I then started having mild pain from sciatica so decided to give it a try. I have since done some physical therapy & do regular stretching & strengthening exercises and haven't had the pain in months! The skills Sharon teaches you will stay withyou forever and help you in all aspects of life. She is warm and fun to be around and I feel like I gained not only a teacher but a friend.

I went to Sharon with pain in my neck that went all the way down my arms to my hands. Thirty minutes into our first session, the pain was GONE and it has not returned! Sharon is a terrific Alexander Technique teacher. Working with her has been invaluable for me, especially since I spend most of my working hours writing on a laptop. Now I'm able to work with less physical tension and know how to alleviate any tension that does build up. If you have aches and pains, book an Alexander Technique session with Sharon. You will not regret it!

I "won" a private lesson at a silent auction, and knowing nothing about the technique went. Even that one lesson was miraculous. It easily and painlessly resolved neck pain I frequently experienced at the computer and while driving. I signed up for the 10 lesson package and have found it to be the most exciting new learning in my life in a long time. I've learned how to notice what I'm actually doing with my body and to make different choices. The thinking behind the technique has been so valuable emotionally as well as physically. In many ways it's what I was always trying to get from meditation, but without all that sitting. Sharon is a gifted teacher.
update: 2 years later - still loving it and learning to find anxiety in my body and let it go. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! -

Sharon is just wonderful - I've been taking Alexander Technique from her for 2 years and I can't begin to describe how powerful a change it has been in my life! Her understanding of it is flawless and she's just a wonderfully gifted teacher. I highly recommend Sharon!

Study Shows 85% Reduction in Back Pain Through Alexander Technique
Chronic back pain affects millions of Americans (who spend a staggering $90 million/year to treat it). Treatments have multiplied, relief remains elusive. In August, the British Medical Journal published a study showing that Alexander Technique, a noninvasive method of improving posture and movement, reduced back pain by an impressive 85%.
This study demonstrated significant long-term benefits for patients with chronic back pain.
Of all the approaches tested, 24 Alexander Technique lessons proved most effective; subjects who received the 24 lessons reported only three days of pain per month, versus the control group who reported 21 such days.
"Lessons in the Alexander technique offer an individualized approach designed to develop lifelong skills for self-care that help people recognize, understand, and avoid poor habits affecting postural tone and neuromuscular coordination."
