Candler, North Carolina, United States
Monika Gross, BFA, M.AmSAT, M.ATI, RSME is an internationally certified Alexander technique (AT) specialist with over 35 years of experience. Since 2016, Monika has served as Executive Director of The Poise Project, a nonprofit that researches and develops adaptive AT based programs for people living with Parkinson’s and other chronic conditions and their family care partners. Alexander technique is well-established among performing artists as a cognitive embodiment training. Using an integrated psychomotor approach, AT specialists teach ways of thinking that combine interoception, exteroception, proprioception, and goal awareness to enhance the performance of everyday activities while reducing anxiety and improving overall confidence. Adaptive Alexander-based programs teach clients to actively choose and use functional patterns that promote optimal postural tone and support their ability to become skilled and holistically engaged partners in their own preventative and rehabilitative care.
Ms. Gross is an active member of ACRM and participates in a number of networking groups and task forces, including her "home base" with the Arts & Neursciences NG, and Movement TF. She is also active with the Neurodegenerative Diseases NG, and the Parkinsonism & Related Disorders TF and Alzheimer’s Disease TF; the Athlete Development and Sports Rehab NG; the International NG Refugee Empowerment TF; the Aging Research & Geriatric Rehab NG and Cognition in Aging TF and Integrating Sensory Health & Rehabilitation in Aging Research TF; and the Stroke ISIG Movement Interventions TF and Aphasia and Communications Disorders TF. Monika has presented Alexander technique based research and instructional courses at numerous international conferences, including the 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 ACRM conferences, and the Spring 2019 ACRM meeting.
