Today, let's celebrate Anna Kaehler, Violinist! 🎉

Here's Anna's amazing experience:

“Working with Jennifer and The Art of Freedom® Method [based on touch-free Alexander Technique] has completely transformed my life and my music making. Her method is the missing link I didn't know I was seeking between how I felt myself to be inwardly and how I now get to choose to express myself outwardly in the world and through playing the violin.

For me, this work has been nothing short of a mystical journey through what is possible and into what is now actually present in my life.

I began working with Jennifer as a violinist returning to the instrument after decades of not picking up a bow or glancing at any of my favorite pieces. I'd been a driven and committed classical musician as a teenager with thoughts of a professional career, but pain and the incredible tension I felt in my physical and emotional bodies brought me to a place of giving up playing completely.

I thought about the violin off and on for years, but I was afraid to approach it.  I was afraid of all the agony I'd come to associate with never being ‘good enough.' I was afraid of my patterns of pushing myself into pain time and time again, demanding something I kept telling myself I couldn't produce.

Needless to say it was with some trepidation that I began tiptoeing around the violin again in my forties. There was fear there, yes, but there was also curiosity… as in, what might happen this time around if I were to play again?

I found Jennifer thanks to the sometimes brilliant search bots and knew immediately that here was something I needed – not just for my music making but for my entire life. Over my 6 months working with Jennifer one-on-one and through her amazing online group communities, I began uncovering parts of myself I never knew existed. The peeling away of layers blocking me from the ease that is my birthright began immediately and has continued in many shocking and profound ways. I now know it will continue my whole life long.

Today I also know how to play without pain, and, perhaps more vitally, how to live without pain in ease, joy, and allowance of what is showing up for me in the present moment. I cannot overstate how tremendous a gift this has been in my life. Do I stay in this easeful space all day every day? Well, no. It is a mystical journey, after all, and one that I am now empowered to choose over and over again. I get to practice the art of being alive through this work in every moment I can remember to do so.

Thank you, Jennifer, for lighting the way and for all you are in the world. I am so deeply grateful.”
