What is cranial nerve sequencing? I guide you step by step through an experience of all 12 cranial nerves using the Alexander Technique principles. You will learn the basic anatomy and function of each nerve, and learn practices you can use to explore each one on your own.
Learn simple practices can be shared in your groups and teams once you have mastered them yourself. The workshop will be recorded to support your continued practice.
Our perceptual and motor systems can get "glued" together in patterns that aren't helpful. Through exploring each cranial nerve, you learn how to let that nerve do it's work without over activating other nerves.
We don't have to think so hard that we forget our bodies. We don't need to smell with our neck muscles, hear with our jaw muscles, or see with our frown muscles.
Cranial Nerve Sequencing activates a free and delicate articulation of head and spine, resetting overall coordination throughout your whole body so you can be more open and available for what is happening around you.
The practice provides access to the free neck, balanced head, resonant voice, and dynamic postural tone that the Alexander Technique is famous for.
Access deep mobility, coordination, and balance:
We will explore cranial nerves 1 - 8 on the first day; 9 - 12 on the second day with time for reflection and review. There is ample time to address your personal needs, concerns, and questions.
We map one cranial nerve at a time, exploring its function, and discovering if it's over or under activated. Either state can be the hidden cause of stress and strain. Sometimes one nerve is damaged or in distress, but other neighboring nerves are perfectly able to help you adapt to this reality more effectively.
IF YOU:
- Want to be a better listener without losing your power
- Access calm in difficult situations
- Struggle to stay in touch with your own body when with others
- Thrive in a non-judgemental, structured learning environment

- Depend on outside influences to calm your nervous system (like social media or TV)

Testimonials
Clare has a creative and playful way of teaching online that gets people out of their zoom boxes and into their body. Her ability to help me find the same ease I found with hands-on work in person was truly profound. Her work is a testament to how subtle changes can have such big ripple effects.

Clare is a body whisperer. I’ve been working with her during the COVID pandemic through my recovery from multiple brain surgeries and spinal meningitis. Our work together has been an important part of my healing journey, providing me with more tools for working with my nervous system and welcoming more ease into the day. Just thinking about our sessions relaxes and grounds me.
