Testimonials

"Our work relieved the pain in my neck, back, and arms; it also improved the quality of my playing and helped me grow as a performer. It gave me greater control over my technique and enabled me to retain it, despite the demands of playing with a major symphony orchestra."
Rachel Goldstein, Violinist, Chicago Symphony Orchestra

"I've worked with eight different Alexander teachers over a period of nine years and Eleanor is by far the best. She draws on a tremendous depth of experience and knowledge while continuing to learn new techniques to enhance her skills. But what really separates her from the others is her creative approach to teaching....she regularly gives me new tools that empower me to help myself and thus prevent new injuries.
M.K., Computer Professional

“In one day you taught me to avoid and overcome what used to be crippling lower-back spasms.”
Birrell Walsh, TV Engineer

“I can’t begin to thank you for all the help you have given me. Your encouraging spirit, enthusiasm, and excellent skills are an unbeatable combination. My recovery [from a skiing injury] was considered ‘miraculous’ in the orthopedic world, and I don’t have words to express my gratitude.”
Robert Harmuth, MD

“After only one hour-long session, I was without pain for the first time in five years. Also, teachers and directors had told me that I was ‘not in my body;’ you helped me change that. I am now more comfortable on stage, have better vocal production, and am working constantly for the first time in years.”
Tracey Haven, Actress

"As I became more balanced and centered physically, I was able to unlock more of my natural sound. You helped me find my own voice, which is larger and richer than I had realized. Your teaching skills are outstanding, and I appreciate your professionalism and consistency, as well as your willingness to adapt the work to my individual needs. Many thanks."
Dennis Petersen, Operatic Tenor

“When I first started working at a computer all day I had constant terrible backaches. After a couple of months of studying with Eleanor the problem had disappeared. That was almost 15 years ago and I haven’t had back trouble since.”
Robert Lauristen, Computer Journalist and Co-author of The PC Bible

"Eleanor Rosenthal makes learning an invaluable body of knowledge a delightful experience. I highly recommend her work."
John DeRoy, D.C.

“My doctors and physical therapists wanted me to curtail my exercise; you helped me change my biomechanics so I can continue it....The Technique helped me attain what I’ve always searched for in sports: efficiency in movement. I’ve been able to improve my athletic skills and continue with sports pain-free...I only wish I had known about the Technique when I was involved in intercollegiate competition....I don’t mean to sound like a television commercial, but Alexander has truly changed my life!”
Lucia Wade, Captain, Smith College Crew Team 1991-1993

"I feel better than I have in my entire life, and that's pretty funny considering that I'm 81 years old."
Barbara Gottschalk, Retired Teacher

"I have watched my students who have studied with Eleanor go from struggling to find their balance and connection with the horse to riding with easy, fluid body mechanics and better alignment in an amazingly short time.”
Karen Hutton, Riding Instructor and Trainer

“The Technique empowers me to be my natural self—relaxed, supple, strong, and confident....It really helped me change my life...sincere gratitude to a remarkable teacher.”
