FUnctional Integration®
Private sessions

Private Functional Integration (FI) lessons are great for people with more acute difficulties or pain, as well as anyone wanting a more personalized experience. The practitioner gently moves the student to help them feel how they can move easier.​
Individual sessions are offered on a sliding scale:
$60-100 (pay what you can).
I accept cash, check, or Venmo (@Alex-Toenniges).
Please talk to me if you need additional financial assistance. Trades and other options are available. No one will be turned away due to lack of funds.
"After just one session [with Alex], I immediately noticed a positive change and improvement in my posture and the way I move. At one point in particular I remember feeling my entire spine move. It was an entirely new sensation and I couldn't help but smile and laugh as I realized that it is supposed to feel that way...the movement was so easy! I can't wait for my next FI lesson.​"
​- James M.
"Alex made me more aware of how years in an office environment had affected my posture.  I’m sitting up straighter now and feel calmer and more alert, thanks to her FI sessions."
​- Richard O.

Awareness Through Movement®
Group Classes

Group Awareness Through Movement (ATM) classes are great for anyone looking to find more ease in everyday activities. Each class we explore a different movement or theme. Lessons are very gentle and can be adapted for any ability level. I recommend all of my clients do regular Awareness Through Movement classes.​ See below for a schedule of upcoming classes.
"I was fortunate in that a frozen shoulder problem I’d had for several months cleared up after a session. I’d been through physical therapy, chiropractic, and even steroid shots with no relief. A simple class with reaching and trying to move in different ways gave me relief by the next day."
​- Kim S.
I have a collection of online audio lessons available for you. Many of them are free, or you can subscribe for access to more. Read about the importance of doing ATM in a consistent way at home.
"Alex's guidance allows me to slow down and be mindful of my body.... Every time I have gone thus far, I have gleaned insights about myself. It has challenged me to think about movement and the connection of the mind and body in new ways."
​- Justin S.
