Educated at The Center for the Alexander Technique in Menlo Park, CA, Barbara completed the 3-year full-time course of study in 1996 to become Nationally Certified to teach the Alexander Technique. Her on-going investigation of functional anatomy and physiology helps her to visualize the body's interior structures as she applies Alexander's principles of non-doing and directing. In addition to her technical expertise, Barbara's teaching style is warm, clear, keenly intuitive, and customized for each student. She is an active member of The American Society of Alexander Teachers (AmSAT) and is an Upledger trained Cranio-Sacral therapist. Her students have come from all walks of life. Her interest in Alexander Technique originated in her own healing experience, having recovered from a debilitating neck injury. She now enjoys teaching Alexander Technique at her San Mateo office.
