The Foundation of Ms. Blanc’s Alexander Technique Education

Pamela began having private lessons in the Alexander Technique in 1975 with Mr. Frank Ottiwell and graduated from the American Center for the Alexander Technique in San Francisco in 1979 under the direction of Mr. Ottiwell and Mr. Giora Pinkas.

Curious to learn from more experienced Alexander teachers, looking for the similarities in their teaching, and committed to her own continuing education after graduation, Pamela pursued her studies in the decades that followed with the following Alexander Technique teachers all of whom trained with Mr. Frederick Matthias Alexander (1869-1956):

• Patrick Macdonald

• Marj Barstow

• Walter and Dilys Carrington 

• Dr. Wilfred and Marjory Barlow 

• Peggy Williams

• Elisabeth Walker

All of these Alexander Technique teachers who were trained by Mr. Alexander have passed away.  They were incredible individuals each of whom had a keen understanding of the importance of this work and passed it on to the next generation of teachers with generosity of spirit and great encouragement. 

And, now, all of these years later, Pamela finds herself to be a Senior Teacher of the Alexander Technique passing on her knowledge to the next generation of teachers and to individuals who choose to study privately with her.
