To Whom It May Concern:

 

It is my pleasure to write a statement of my appreciation of the work that Gabe Evens does with the Alexander Technique.

 

I met Gabe when he offered to do an introduction in my body/mind class in the Masters Degree Program in holistic Counseling at Salve Regina University.  I was struck with his earnestness and enthusiasm for his teaching of the technique.  It was clear and effective and elicited attention from the students, who were impressed with the demonstrations.

 

Subsequently I personally have been receiving lessons from Gabe weekly for four months.  I will be sorry to see him transfer to another state shortly.  In the time I have been receiving lessons, I have been impressed with GabeÕs style of teaching.  It is something that he lives and he is able to share his awareness of his use of self while working with another, which makes it genuine.  I trust him.

 

I am struck by the patience Gabe exhibits in the lessons.  He is structured and works in little steps so as not to confuse.  His ability to notice when corrections are needed impresses me.  His hands are deft at guiding, and he is creative in designing movements which are practical in daily living.  His style is gentle and gracious.  He knows how to teach.

 

I feel that my body has straightened; that I am actually taller.  My shoulders tend to come down from habitual holding. I walk more correctly and my body conserves energy when I am using it at work.  My neck used to be very sore; now it is greatly relaxed.  I have more energy to live by.  My hips and knees are more flexible and freer from soreness.  All of this I relate greatly to the lessons that I have been taking with Gabe.

To Whom It May Concern:

 

Gabe Evens has been instructing me in the Alexander Technique for approximately 6 months, and I can highly recommend him for his technical ability, as well as his professionalism and sensitivity.  His gentle and skillful manner quickly set me at ease about letting him work on my body.

 

Although, I was not experiencing chronic pain, I had unconsciously developed some poor habits with my posture.  Whenever I was very tired or encountered stressful situations, the improper way I held my body caused extreme discomfort and, consequently, frequent visits to the chiropractor and massage therapist.  I also had a history of stress headaches.

 

I was surprised to learn that there was actually something that I could do to prevent the problem, and not just to relieve the problem temporarily.  the Alexander Technique has put me in control of my own well-being.  It is incredible.

 

The technique is not terribly difficult to learn.  However, like anything new, it takes repetition and practice to make it oneÕs own.  Gabe is moving out-of-state now and so I cannot continue my lessons with him, but I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to learn what I did.

 

I can wholeheartedly endorse Gabe as an Alexander Technique instructor.  He sincerely wants all of his clients to feel better and be better.

 

Sincerely,

Joyce Kilmartin

To Whom It May Concern:

 

Mr. Evens presented a series of two workshops/demonstrations of Alexander Technique at Rhode Island College.  These workshops were arranged after a long series of telephone calls and email messages between us, trying to work out the details of scheduling. However, in the final event, the workshops were well worth the effort. Student attendance was strong, and interest was even stronger.  His demonstrations with individual students produced visible and immediate results, such that when he offered to teach individual lessons for a day, the schedule filled up quickly.  The students who took lessons with him claimed immediate benefits.

 

Mr. Evens is a fairly quiet and unassuming man, quite congenial, and a pleasure to work with.  In all our interactions I found him to be flexible and reasonable.  Above all, he is professional.  I regret that he is leaving the Providence area, because I would like to work with him again.

 

I commend Mr. Evens as a competent professional.

 

Musically,
