"I recommend people to the Alexander Technique who have not improved with traditional rehabilitative therapies. Some of their pain may be due to compressed posture and the improper use of their bodies. Many people who have neck or back pain and have gone through heat, ultrasound and massage with no relief can be helped by learning the Alexander Technique. It definitely works. Nothing works for everyone, but as one well-versed in using physical therapy and biofeedback, I know how valuable this technique is. I highly recommend it."

Tools for Mindful Wellness
The Alexander Technique
The Alexander Technique is renowned as foundational training for professional performers, such as actors, singers, dancers, and musicians, in how to use their bodies and minds for optimal performance.
The Alexander Technique is also recognized as one of the foremost methods for improving posture and movement
for pain-free living and enhanced health.
The Alexander Technique will give you practical tools for improving your movement, posture, and performance in specialized skills and in daily living. Using practical Alexander tools you will learn to regain ease and freedom of movement.
You will learn to reduce stress,
while redirecting chronic tension into useful energy.
The Alexander Technique is for anyone, at any age, who wants to awaken to a life of mind-body ease and wellbeing.
Jane offers private Alexander lessons both in-person and on Zoom and small group in-person Alexander classes.
The MELT Method
The MELT Method is a simple self-treatment method that helps to eliminate chronic pain, improves performance, and decreases the accumulated stress caused by the repetitive postures and movements of everyday living.
The MELT method was created by manual therapist Sue Hitzmann
as the very first Hands-off Bodywork® method developed as a self-care tool to prevent and relieve chronic pain and which supports healthy posture and movement.
As a certified MELT Instructor, Jane teaches the MELT Method in private sessions both in-person and on Zoom. Jane also offers small group MELT Method classes on Zoom.
"Working with Jane on the MELT method has really transformed my home injury prevention practice. The techniques and tools are subtle yet powerful. It feels like it’s nurturing my nervous system as it works on the fascia, and it’s sometimes surprising how dramatic the effects can be even after a short MELT session. As a full-time musician and fitness enthusiast, I have to be very mindful of repetitive strain injuries and this gives me a very accessible practice to manage that. Also, working with Jane is a particularly rich experience due to her expertise in the Alexander Technique, which is quite complimentary to the MELT method. I was also pleasantly surprised with how well the sessions worked on Zoom."

Lifestyle WEllness. Coaching
Jane has focused on a holistic approach to her own wellness for decades. She has sought out research-based integrative health approaches and offers two primary mind-body approaches to her clients as well as lifestyle wellness coaching.
Jane initially studied the Alexander Technique to improve her skills as a professional actor, but ended up also getting rid of chronic neck and shoulder pain, which later led her to enjoy decades of pain-free living.
The Alexander Technique has also enabled Jane to improve her performance in yoga, Pilates, dance, acting, and overall
to reduce stress in her active daily lifestyle.
After receiving years of extensive training as a bodywork therapist, Jane now teaches her clients the MELT Method so that they can get the benefits of "hands-off" bodywork everyday. The MELT Method is designed to get to the source of tension that often is the cause of chronic pain, through gentle self-care treatments.
As a coach, Jane has been offering health and wellness coaching since 2013, having graduated from the Harvard based, Wellcoaches program.
Jane's high level coaching skills enable her clients to map their individual paths for mind-body health with a lifestyle wellness focus.
If you want to perform better at work, in your favorite pastimes, and while exercising, Jane's coaching will give you a range of practical tools to do this. Jane can also help you to design a vision and goals for improving your health and wellness.

"I arrived at Jane’s doorstep with 'severe degenerative disease' in my lower back and a neck that had seized up solid. Not a pretty picture. During the learning process, Jane was unfailingly gentle, patient, kind, non-judgmental, cheerful, optimistic and extraordinarily insightful. I always trusted that I would not be hurt in any way. She shared her very deep and broadly-based knowledge and experience freely, was exceedingly generous with her time. I consider my lessons in the Alexander Technique to have been a superb investment in my future and highly recommend Jane as the ideal guide to have at your side."
Claudia R., retired psychologist
"I just completed four one-on-one Zoom classes with Jane, and every hour with her was packed. I wanted to reconnect with the Alexander Technique and explore the MELT Method, and I knew Jane was certified in both. I learned so much more than I expected. Even though we were on Zoom, I felt like we were in the same room together."
Michael C.,
