Stress shows up in our bodies—tight shoulders, shallow breathing, clenched jaws.
Alexander Technique offers a gentle, practical path to undo those patterns… and rediscover ease, space, and even joy.

It’s not about striving—it's about letting go.
💫 What if your body could feel like home again?

Welcome! I’m Cathy, and I teach the Alexander Technique—a practical, sustainable approach to feeling better in your body and mind.

After 35 years as a social worker, stress was catching up with me—poor posture, tension, and the creeping signs of premature ageing. Discovering the Alexander Technique changed everything. It helped me move with ease, reduce pain, and feel more like myself again. So much so that I trained for three years to teach it!

Now, I help people like you—busy professionals, creatives, and active adults, all ages—who’ve tried everything for pain, stress, and fatigue. If you're looking for something practical, sustainable, and life-changing, you're in the right place.

Curious? Let’s chat. Drop a comment or message me to learn more.

CresFest has been a joy this weekend. The Come & Try Alexander Technique FREE workshop "went off" with a small but keen group in Norm Beshara's Studio (thank you Norm) in the main street of Creswick.

Most participants said they will look for an Alexander Teacher in their area to follow up the workshop's beneficial introduction. That's gotta be Success!

The next FREE Come & Try Alexander Technique workshops will be in Melbourne at East Brunswick Village, where Cathy Dowden Alexander Technique is in the Wellness Centre. More info here: https://www.cathydowden.com.au/
