"Working Without Tension"
Your Roadmap to Working Comfortably At Your Desk Without Constant Distraction from Pain
Exclusive 8-Week, 1 x 1 Personal Tension Relief Program
Is This You?
You have a mostly sedentary job (or you're an entrepreneur working for yourself).
You have chronic tension that keeps you from focusing on your work without being constantly distracted by pain.
You spend countless hours at a desk immersed in your devices, and you know that something isn't quite right with how your body moves (but you can't put your finger on it).
You're mystified by your tension because it won't go away no matter what you do. It seems beyond your control!
You've almost resigned to living with it... After all, you've tried so much already to find relief like chiropractic, massage, physical therapy, yoga, exercise, herbs, even hypnotherapy - but nothing has offered any lasting relief.
You desperately need to find solutions to sitting, typing and moving that make sense to you, feel good, and are under your control.
You feel better when you take a few days off but you are concerned because you cannot just stop working altogether!
You struggle with body awareness, and don't really know what it means to be in good balance. You only notice discomfort after it already hurts. You feel trapped in this vicious cycle and you want to break out of it.
You know your posture is not ideal. You would love to be beautifully and effortlessly upright but you don't even know exactly what that would look like.
You know you're missing the right tools to feel more comfortable in your body at work.
You want to be more productive but this chronic tension makes it very difficult for you.
You have been avoiding thinking about all this. You didn't want to deal with it at work because it feels so overwhelming!
But you really want to get this under control, and you are ready for change.
You are looking for lasting solutions, and you're open to learning something new.
You are ready to take loving ownership over your body and responsibility for your well-being.
You want to know how you can sit at your desk in a way that feels great and doesn't distract you, so you can be fully present at work and fulfill your obligations with joy.

This Program Is Not A Good Fit
If you're looking to learn posture exercises to fix your problem. I've been teaching this work for over 20 years and know from experience that stretching or strengthening isolated muscle groups does nothing to address the root cause of tension: the insight that tension is foremost a whole body behavior issue, and not a problem of fitness.
Culturally we are confronted by an outdated but persistent paradigm that tension can be relieved and posture improved by fixing or holding the body in certain ways. You might have already noticed that it does not work and only increases discomfort. This is why this program features the missing education you need to stop the seemingly inescapable cycle of muscular tension--getting distracted from work--emotional tension--more distraction--more physical tension, etc. etc.

“I already learned so much! I really get the science behind proper body alignment now, and I feel I have more energy at the end of the day because I feel less drained.”
Since body tension is linked to postural habits of thinking and moving it must be addressed on the level of consciousness. Sitting, like other whole body movements, presents a two-fold challenge: It is a problem of awareness and intention as well as a 'mechanical problem' to be solved.
This is the reason why this program focuses on your individual work ergonomics, physiology, self-awareness and unique biomechanics. Questions like 'What in the way of moving is aggravating my symptoms?' 'How can I avoid new tension from building up?' are key to getting to the root of your troubles.
