I completed the three-year Alexander Technique teacher training course with Stan Hobbs in 1998 in Cologne, Germany. I moved to Paris in 2002, and I now divide my time between Paris and my native country, the United States.
I teach individuals and groups, and give public introductions to the Alexander Technique. My students include business professionals, educators, artists, musicians, fitness instructors, therapists, writers, and children. Once a month I travel to Lille where I teach members of the Orchestre National de Lille.

- 2006: The American Society of Alexander Technique Teachers published an article I wrote about working with children in AmSAT Magazine.
