Heather Stegmaier works on a client with the Alexander Technique

Dynamic Direction/Heather Stegmaier, M.AmSat (Alexander Technique)
Heather discovered the Alexander Technique as a music student in 1997 when she was 18 years old. She distinctly remembered her first experience with the Alexander Technique: She felt as though all the tension in her body was melting away! The Technique came to her again as a graduate student at the Hartt School of Music. During that time, she was working very hard playing her flute for many hours each day. She began to experience severe pain in her shoulders and neck and numbness throughout her hands and arms. Every time she played her flute, she was in severe pain having to stop early due to the numbness.

A fellow flutist told her about an Alexander teacher in town and she began taking lessons. The Alexander Technique teacher taught her that the numbness in her hands was not isolated to the hands - it was linked to the pain she was experiencing in her neck and shoulders. She learned to think of her mind and body as one organism – not separate parts - and that the way she uses herself can affect her entire being.

The technique made so much sense to her that she became a licensed Alexander Technique practitioner, and now helps all people (not just musicians) to experience that mind-body connection, to better their lives by lessening physical pain and tension.
