Episode Sixty-Eight. Jennifer Roig-Francoli: Healing with The Alexander Technique, Classical Roots & Somatic Artistry
Jennifer Roig-Francoli is an international prize-winner and certified Alexander Technique (AT) teacher, and combines her professional experience with a life-long love of meditation and perennial wisdom. This unique combination gives her uncommon expertise in pinpointing the source of artists’ mind-body issues. A former faculty member teaching AT at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music and member of Apollo’s Fire, the Cleveland Baroque Orchestra, Jennifer’s approach has introduced countless performers to powerful techniques for balanced mind-body coordination, improved musicianship, and renewed energy. Her students consistently report that Jennifer’s simple, profound direction helps them achieve unexpected “ah-ha” moments and sometimes “miraculous” transformations. Pain and tensions melt away, seemingly unrelated problems are recognized as interconnected and dissolve, fears and anxieties transform into calm confidence, and technical skills improve with surprising ease. Jennifer has performed as a violin soloist in some of the most prestigious concert halls and with orchestras from around the world, including several appearances in Carnegie Hall. An international prize-winner, she has been the Concertmaster of multiple ensembles and has been featured in TIME Magazine. Jennifer teaches AT in Cincinnati and online, and gives workshops around the world. She has founded two professional associations for Alexander Technique teachers in Ohio. In 2009, she designed and implemented a successful research study for surgeons using AT at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and Medical Center which resulted in a prize-winning paper presented at the American Academy of Pediatrics and published by the Journal of Urology.   https://artoffreedom.me/meet-jennifer/

Nicole Kerr is an award-winning health expert Nicole Kerr is the co-author of Eating the Rainbow: Lifelong Nutritional Wellness—Without Lies, Hype, or Calculus. She has appeared on CNN, PBS, CBS, ABC, the Food Channel, and a host of other TV and radio shows to share her unique perspective on wellness, lifestyle, and nutrition.   For the past 30 years, Nicole has worked in all sectors of society, including in government (the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), non-profit (American Cancer Society), military (United States Air Force Medical Operations), academia (University of Hawaii), healthcare institutions/hospitals (Adventist Health Castle and Queens Medical Center), corporate settings (Sea Ties, LLC), and private consultation. Nicole’s warm, engaging presentations have earned her a place in front of international audiences ranging from corporate food producers to health and medical associations. Throughout her career, she has focused on supporting people from every walk of life to make realistic, meaningful, happy choices for lifelong health and well-being. When she was a 19-year-old cadet at the United States Air Force Academy, Nicole would be forced to learn how to live and love differently following a terrifying and transformative Near-Death Experience. Her memory of the crash came back 20 years later, and it has taken Nicole almost another two decades to align her soul, spirit, mind, and body, proving healing is certainly a non-linear process. A disabled veteran, Nicole now maintains a private practice primarily using Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) targeting the often overlooked domains of emotional, energy, and spiritual well-being.           https://www.nicolekerr.com/   Download a free chapter or get a copy of my book You Are Deathless: A Near Death Experience Taught Me How to Fully Live and Not Fear Death
