Jamee's ’13 Points of Power’ class combined the science of intentional movement and ancient healing methods. Her delivery is insightful and thoughtful. She welcomed the class and the individual to explore movement to bring about ease and a sense of clearer awareness in motion. It was really, really good. Thanks so much! ~ Diana

"The pain in my shoulders has decreased..."
“I’d always wondered if Alexander Technique could help with the chronic pain I hold in my neck and shoulders, but hadn't had a local teacher. When I started with Jamee online about nine weeks ago I discovered a whole new way of being in my body. She explains concepts in ways my body absorbs. The pain in my shoulders has decreased, I walk more naturally, and I have a new awareness of how I sit at my computer and tools for sitting more comfortably. She's also amazingly intuitive, making her able to sense subtle shifts in students' bodies during class. -- even though it's on Zoom! Check her out!”

"She’s excellent at this - I wouldn’t have thought it possible!"
I have gotten a lot out of Jamee’s Alexander Class on Zoom. I was skeptical without hands on but Jamee is always able to spot various places where I am holding a part of my body static rather than relaxing and letting that part “be” and feel space around it. She’s excellent at this — I wouldn’t have thought it possible! So, zoom has been a great way to practice embodying this technique. I have also gotten a lot out of similar comments she makes to others. Not just things I could benefit from but her going to another person gives me a little “down time” to tune into my body and incorporate what she’s just mentioned. When I had one-on-one lessons I found that all the undivided attention on my body made me feel self-conscious. This way I have more space to work with releasing at my own pace. Jamee really knows her material! She is very experienced and, as I said, can easily spot areas for release over Zoom. I am actually making significantly more headway than I ever did with one-on-one. I would encourage anyone to find out what it’s like to work with Jamee. Also, I thoroughly enjoy the other people in the class. There is a subtle group energy that is lovely. So glad I hooked up with this class!

Learning from you is a privilege...
"After the first day of Jamee's class I realized I was already looking forward to the next. Learning from her is a privilege. I so enjoy being in the same room with her. The energy she creates and the space she provides for each student is warm and magical. Learn all you can from this intuitive, generous teacher!" ~ Harry
"I can come into greater coherence and flow".
My first experience with the Alexander Technique was with Jamee back in early 2002 at a retreat I was attending. When Jamee worked with me, she would touch a part of my body and speak to me about how I could make small movements to come into greater ease in this area. As we moved through the session, I felt many changes and a sense of greater ease in movement as a result. Afterwards, I was surprised at the physical changes as well as the shift in my awareness of how by body’s holding patterns were linked with unexpressed sadness I had around loss and abandonment. Over time, I became more and more aware of my holding patterns and associated emotions. Most recently during this pandemic, I joined Jamee’s Alexander Technique class online over Zoom. Without touching me, Jamee could really “see me” over the distance and help me understand how I was holding my body. As she guided me through small movements and shifts in my body, without touch, I could feel these changes and once again begin to grow my awareness of how I hold my body during this stressful time, and how I can come into greater coherence and flow. These sessions with Jamee have been my “go to” for transformation and ease during this stressful time. Now, every day, I grow my awareness around how I am holding my body and put into practice the gentle movements that bring about greater ease and flow in my body and calmness to my mind and spirit throughout my day. I am grateful!
