Priska Gauger-Schelbert

> more

Priska Gauger-Schelbert comes from Schwyz and has been an Alexander Technique teacher since 1995. She has extensive practical experience in individual work and company health promotion. Between 2001 and 2003 she developed the pioneering adaptable concept balance-time® based on the Alexander Technique at Victorinox. Since then it has successfully been introduced in numerous institutions and companies throughout Switzerland. Priska Gauger-Schelbert has developed a competent team around balance-time®.

It is central for Priska, that everyone is responsible for his or her own health. Alexander Technique is a method which sees this personal responsibility not as a duty, a task or a job, but as an innate potential for lightness, freedom, naturalness and awareness in dealing with oneself. To help this potential unfold in oneself and one's clients has always been the passionate motivation for her work.

Inspiration

From the beginning I felt attracted by the teaching style of the former AT teacher Marj. Barstow, Lincoln, Nebraska (1899-1995), who taught the Alexander Technique with great success in groups. With ease and simplicity she has achieved amazing things, many people, artists in various fields (theatre, dance, music, sport etc.) have been able to achieve and experience unbelievable, freedom-related changes in body and mind through her teaching.
Tommy ThompsonMassachusetts, Boston is another AT teacher who has accompanied me since my education. I have experienced his way with the Alexander Technique to support people in recognizing and living their own potential, which often lies beneath the stories and layers of tension, as very beneficial and enriching.

Isabelle Augustin was led to the Alexander Technique by her work as an actress. This method, which provides a kind of instruction manual for a better and more attentive handling of oneself, is wonderfully suitable for work on stage and in front of the microphone and can be used directly in various fields of work. After her training she worked with individuals as well as with groups from various fields such as theatre, hospital, elementary schools etc. Personally she has been accompanied by this method during her many years of work as an off-speaker for Swiss Television, as a voice of the SBB etc. Since 2014 she has been part of the Priska Gauger-Schelbert team.

Dr. med. Matthias Gauger

Dr. med. Matthias Gauger, specialist for general internal medicine, has been working as a general practitioner in Muotathal since 1999. The observation that chronic diseases such as depression, pain, gout, high blood pressure and rheumatism are constantly on the increase despite "ideal" external living conditions prompted Dr. Gauger to look more closely into the causes of chronic diseases. He became increasingly aware of the key role played by mindsets. Since then, he has regarded it as the most sensible long-term task to integrate this knowledge into his basic care activities and to make it more widely known.
