Welcome
Hi, I’m Deena. I help people release tension and improve their posture and the quality of their presence.

By building awareness of habits both physically and mentally, I empower people to be more comfortable, confident and aligned in both body & mind.

Rooted in The Alexander Technique, I work with light hands-on and verbal cues to encourage more mindfulness in movement. I also use sound healing to calm to calm the nervous system to make space for shifts.
My mission is to help people harness grace under pressure and improve day-to-day functioning.

I’ve been privileged to help facilitate and witness how subtle changes lead to deep transformation.

RAVE REVIEWS

“Deena has such a gentle energy, but knows how to fill the space with levity and humor when needed.
An essence of non-judgement fills her studio. I felt instantly safe, supported and seen. The work is helping me feel calm, attentive and taller. 


Recently I was able to go climb about 3 1/2 miles of stairs without ANY discomfort or pain! It was a huge accomplishment and an inspiring moment to recognize just how far Deena has brought me in just 5 weeks!”

Tiffanie Lanmon: Graphic Designer, Los Angeles

“Not only is Deena an expert in understanding the mind/body connection, she is an expert in explaining it.

With-in weeks of working with her I understood more about my body’s natural state of being and how that relates to my mind than I had learned in my entire adulthood.

It was nothing short of life altering. I am grateful everyday for the level of awareness she has been able to share with me. It has literally changed (for the better) how I show up and move through the world!”

“After my first lesson with Deena I felt taller! I realized a lot of things I was doing that I never thought about and now I'm going to be thinking about it all the time, when I'm writing, driving, walking.”

Yumi Sakuma: Writer, New York

“Working with Deena feels good and has given me tools to discover my bodies potential to heal. I’ve discovered both how to be with my body and how to speak with my body.”

Kendra Adler: Artist, Dancer, Los Angeles

“After working with Deena I feel lighter, optimistic, definitely a higher frequency.

My shoulder is usually chronically in pain, but I have learned how to released that tension. I’ve also develop tools so I can unwind and re-align on my own as well.”

Kayli Stollak: Film & TV Writer, Los Angeles

“Deena’s sessions have been helping me tremendously with my posture and especially with my lower back pain.

I used to have pretty bad lower back pain almost on a daily basis. I was afraid it would get worse during pregnancy, but it hasn't at all! In fact it's BETTER than before.

Deena has helped me now through two pregnancies and I’m so grateful for our work.”

Gitta bartelt: Architect, Los Angeles



“ I always feel lighter and calmer after our sessions, and after five sessions I’ve had to adjust my car seat and rear view mirror because I’m notably more upright!

Starting first with a conscious awareness, I’ve learned how to release tension then engage in more effortless manner. Importantly, I’ve focused on my breath more.”
