What Clients Say About Working with Anne Waxman

“Anne Waxman has been my inspiring Alexander Technique teacher for over 20 years.  Her kind, yet firm, instruction has enabled me to change habits of ‘body use’ which were adversely affecting my professional singing and acting, as well as everyday living. In fact, many of my vocal problems were actually caused by ‘mis-use’ of my body, and with Anne’s help, I’ve been able to fix issues which had plagued me for years, for which singing teachers untrained in AT had no solutions. She also inspired me to become a certified AT teacher myself, so that my vocal students are getting a different level of instruction. It is with great joy that I recommend Anne Waxman as a teacher of the Alexander Technique.”

“As a cellist, I dedicate myself to the goal of achieving optimal quality of every performance. In solos, small ensembles, and playing with the Met Opera Orchestra (in thousands of performances for over 3 decades), I have found Alexander Technique sessions with Anne Waxman to be a valuable resource. A highly skilled, insightful practitioner, Anne helps to reduce the physical stresses that may occur under high stakes pressure. Anne’s effective approach to this technique helps build stamina and effectively meet many complex performance requirements with greater ease and enjoyment.”

“I have worked with Anne for over 10 years. The work I do with her is vital to maintaining and developing freedom in the use of my body. I sing in the Metropolitan Opera chorus, and with a crazy work load, she allows my body to regain freedom and ease that can be lost from overuse and incorrect use. Anne clearly has the understanding of the body and helps guide you to feel and understand a better alignment and use of your structures. I would highly recommend her and the Alexander work to anyone.”

Ten years of consistent work later, I can confidently say that this work and Anne have changed my life. Anne is a an expert practitioner, who meets each client where they are,  no session is the same, each lesson molded to a client’s needs. Whether you are hoping to apply the Alexander technique to a specific skill, or seeking to improve your overall use, Anne’s intuitive hands on work and direction bring you into your most capable, confident and present body. From this centered place, I’ve had so many profound insights over the years, as both an individual and artist, and truly believe Anne is a healer of the body and mind. Anyone would be lucky to work with her.”
