Integrative Alexander Technique with Crispin Spaeth

03/26/2026

There’s something in what Chris shares here that I really appreciate.

It’s that moment where anxiety starts to shift, not by pushing it away but by relating to it differently.

And how that begins to affect everything else from confidence, creativity and even something as specific as being on stage.

Those kinds of changes don’t come from forcing a result.

They come from small shifts in how someone is organizing themselves, often in ways that aren’t immediately obvious.

It’s always meaningful to witness that process unfold.

This is the kind of work we explore in Integrative Alexander Technique, in sessions in Seattle and online.

If you’re curious to explore this for yourself, you’re very welcome to get in touch or book a free 20-minute inquiry call.

There’s a moment where something feels simple then a “should” comes in or a push to override it.

That’s often where things get harder because the system is being pulled in two directions.

A different approach is to look for a clearer “yes.”

Something your system can actually organize around, with less forcing and more coordination.

That’s usually where a bit more ease and confidence begin.

If you’re curious how this might apply to your own work or movement, you’re welcome to get in touch or explore it further.

New to leadership? There are a few surprises people don’t always talk about.

Sometimes your jokes land differently.�
Sometimes people share less than they used to.�
Sometimes you realize you’re being seen in a way you didn’t expect.

And often, without meaning to, people start adjusting themselves around you.

That can make it harder to get honest information, stay connected and feel like yourself in the role.

We often explore: “I’m in charge, so I have to be a certain way.” But that version of leadership can come with a cost, in how you move, how you hold tension and how others experience you.

Because people aren’t just listening to what you say.
They’re reading how you show up.

There’s something important about staying relatable, accessible and grounded in your own values.

Apparently the internet says we should introduce ourselves with a childhood picture… so here we go.

This is the person who saw truth in movement.

That’s Martin my cat and our dog Benjamin alongside me.

This is who grew up to love Integrative Alexander Technique and eventually teach it.

This is who helps people feel at home in their bodies again, finding more ease in movement, more confidence in meetings and conversations and often lasting relief from patterns of tension or strain.

This is who works with people to explore simple shifts in everyday actions like sitting, speaking, walking, and breathing.

Today, I celebrate 3 years in the studio.

It’s also been 9 years since making it official with certifications from the Integrative Alexander Technique School of Seattle and Alexander Technique International ().

And more than 30 years of being a super fan of the Alexander Technique, thanks to my mentor Cathy Madden!

When is a door more than a door?

Creating this studio was a pandemic decision. Like many small businesses at the time, it meant working from home, offering smaller classes and trimming things down.

But it also became an opportunity to create something special.

A cozy, quiet, private space. A balance of energizing artwork and calming atmosphere, cork floor, nature all around. (Someone once called it “Japandi.”)

A space where adult learning can happen. Where we can get playful or serious, all in service of your dreams.

Turns out, my dream is to teach this amazing process that has helped me so much in my own life from moving more easily through injuries to making clearer, higher-quality decisions.

The door’s open.

The studio in NE Seattle is where I teach Integrative Alexander Technique in Seattle and online.

As an aside, teaching Integrative Alexander Technique online was a pandemic adaptation that works really well.

If you speak for a living or even just speak a lot, you may know this feeling.

Your voice starts the day strong but by mid-afternoon, it’s thinner.
By evening it’s tired, raspy or simply gone.

It often shows up after long meetings, presentations, teaching or a full day of conversations where you’re trying to stay clear, present and engaged.

Many people assume it’s simply a problem with their vocal cords but vocal fatigue is often a whole-system experience.

How you move while you speak.

How you organize your breathing.

When those pieces begin working together instead of against each other, the voice usually has much more support.

People often notice they can speak longer without strain, feel more ease in meetings and communicate without feeling like they’re pushing to be heard.

If vocal fatigue is something you experience and want to explore this work more deeply, I offer private coaching in Integrative Alexander Technique.

Many of us spend our days thinking, planning, deciding and responding often without noticing what our bodies are doing in the process.

Drop-In Labs are a space to pause and notice.

Using the Integrative Alexander Technique, in these small group sessions we look at how your body organizes itself while you sit, speak, move or focus on a task, and explore simple shifts that allow more ease and support.

People often leave with lighter movement, clearer thinking and a better sense of how to work with their bodies rather than against them.

March sessions are open for registration:
- In-person Lab — March 14 (Seattle)
- Online Lab — March 18 (Zoom)

Each session is small so everyone gets personal attention.

If you’re curious to explore how your body supports your work, movement and voice, you’re very welcome.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with remarkable women - leaders, creatives, thinkers and doers who each bring their own questions, challenges and discoveries into the room.

The moment someone begins to experience their body as an ally instead of a problem to solve, it changes how they show up.

I’m grateful for the women who have trusted this work and trusted themselves enough to explore something new.

If you’re curious about exploring this work yourself, I offer private coaching in Integrative Alexander Technique.

On International Women’s Day, a note of appreciation for the women who lead in so many different ways.

The ones running meetings and making hard calls.

The ones building from scratch.

The ones who bring the standard, quietly and consistently.

The ones with ideas that shift the room.

The ones leading without spectacle but with real influence.

Your presence matters. Your voice matters and the way you lead changes things.

Happy International Women’s Day.

Hearing feedback like this stays with me.

Because this work isn’t about “standing up straight” or correcting posture as we age.

It’s about helping the body remember how it’s designed to support itself so breathing is easier, movement feels lighter and energy isn’t drained by effort that isn’t needed.

These shifts don’t come from forcing the body into shape.

They come from understanding where movement begins and allowing support to do more of the work.

Thank you for the trust, Tricia.

“As we age, it is so easy to fold into ourselves. That makes it harder to breathe and find energy.

Crispin taught us where each step comes from and I feel like my posture is better.

Walking is easier and I’m actually faster.”

We’re not built to absorb this much information, pain, and urgency all at once.

Fear and anger can settle into the nervous system as tension or panic.

Movement helps us process.
Shake it out. Walk. Stretch. KICK! Breathe. Let the whole body participate.

You don’t have to disconnect to care, but you do need to move so the system can stay responsive rather than overwhelmed.

A few minutes of movement can make space for steadiness again.
