Upcoming Workshops:
November 10th - Thinking Body, Moving Mind   |   November 11 - The High Art of Touch

Are you ready to discover a whole new way of being in the world?

Anita Mischuk teaches Contemporary Alexander Technique: a practical, kinesthetic, hands-on study of our innate design for movement. AT supports our habits of awareness and response. It fosters our ability to make new choices. 

Whether you are an athlete, a musician, a professional who works with your hands, or simply someone with a curious mind, this work can help you discover more EASE, grace, comfort, strength, excellence, and flexibility as your body learns to replace unhelpful ingrained habits with harmonious self-carriage.

Reduce pain, let go of stress, increase mobility, hone a skill, or simply explore.

The Alexander Technique is great for high-performing individuals who are looking to deepen or bring their performance and results to the next level. This work is for anyone in any craft whose body accumulates stress.  Anita has worked with physical therapists, massage therapists, desk-workers, public speakers, dental hygienists, musicians, pregnant women, athletes, horse riders, and people simply looking for ease in everyday activities. You can enhance the quality of your life by sparking self-awareness and increasing coordination and flexibility, all through learning new habits of mobility and thought.

The Alexander Technique is great for high-performing individuals.

If you're wondering if AT can help you, the answer is yes!

The best way to understand AT is to experience it first-hand. Each session is highly tailored and unique.

I have been working with Anita for over a year and she has been absolutely instrumental in my healing process. Her ability to intuit the right path for a session is often amazing to me, and in my experience, very effective. Having come from a childhood riddled with sexual abuse, I had tried a lot of different healing modalities (somatic experiencing, reiki, talk therapy) and all had helped, but what was different and revelatory about the work I have done with Anita, is that it has been both deep and GENTLE. That last part has been crucial. As a survivor of a lot of trauma, the patterns in my body-mind of being used-to being overwhelmed by sensation are strong. I had the experience of releasing trauma in her attentive and healing presence and NOT being overwhelmed in the process. Very rarely I would have some aftershock reactions, which Anita was always there to help me settle from or process through, either on the phone or in person. Lastly, she is a wizard at dropping in body knowledge (with her well-worn Albinus On Anatomy book.) And as I have become more free from trauma in my body (hallelujah), she has helped me immensely in opening up to the pleasurable aspects of being in a body, with small but massively impactful spinal alignment suggestions and assistance. I feel forever grateful to have had the good fortune to work with Anita, she is a gifted guide towards wellness, and a beautiful, full-of-light human.
