Mission Statement:
Let's get well, stay well, and make the world beautiful in every sense... and have fun.
Holistic means that every part contains the whole; that no part can be separated from any other.
So getting well involves physical, psychological and spiritual aspects of the individual.
The individual is related as cause and as result of the society.

Neil Anderson, L.M.T.

Neil gives amazing, sensitive, skillful massage sessions.  Formerly at the Lloyd House, Neil is now practicing at his own home in Northside nearby.  $65 is extremely reasonable for an  hour massage.  Half hours available.  Gift certificates available.  Call for an appointment: 739-1244

What is The Lloyd House?

Since 1957 my family has occupied this wonderful old home in Clifton.  It is listed on the National Register of Historic Landmarks for its distinguished architecture (Richardson Romanesque Revival, 1888) and because it was the residence from 1908 of John Uri Lloyd, chemist, pharmacist, educator, botanist and author.  Dr. Lloyd, together with is also remarkable brothers founded the Lloyd Library on Plum Street, an internationally important repository of botanical - pharmacutical knowledge.
In 1997 I began hosting here a various assortment of programs related to  my interest in the holistic approach.  We have had yoga classes, musical performances, cooking classes, drumming circles, shamanism classes, healings by Tibetan monks, performance art and theater, ... even weddings.  Most people, coming for the first time to this house say, "Oh, I have noticed this house for years and always wanted to see the inside!"

The Alexander Technique

My teaching room at the Lloyd HOuse as of July, 2009

    In a daring move, I began training as an Alexander Technique teacher when I was 66.  I just couldn't not do it.  Now, in the summer of 2009, I have just completed the three year intensive training and am having a wonderful time seeing many people for lessons.  In the interests of seeing as many students as possible I am offering ridiculous low rates.* This is an opportunity you shouldn't pass up if you have ever had an interest in the technique.  Probably by Thanksgiving or before, I'll be raising the fee. My schedule has been completely booked since graduating and offering this great deal, so if you want to take advantage of it, you may have to wait. 
    If you  have never heard of the amazing Alexander Technique, it is good for aches and pains of the muscles, good for over all health, good for posture, good for artistic performance, good for athletic performance, and good for your psychology, whether you issue is stress, worry, time management, clutter control, ... the list goes on.  You can read introductions to the technique at many, many websites around the world.  Two of my favorites are :  http://www.alexandertechnique.com   and http://www.missyvineyard.com  .  Below, a link to some of my own writings on my path to becoming a teacher and my thoughts about the technique. 
    Call me up and schedule a small budget lesson!*  Ellen Bierhorst 513 221 1289

Link to a page with several articles I am writing about the technique.
.................
* A word about fees.  As of this moment, 7/25/09, I believe I will offer any new pupil a free first lesson, followed by three lessons at $10, followed by four more lessons at $20... probably with the proviso that they pay in advance.  The concept is that a brand-new student cannot possibly groc the relevance and importance of the Alexander Technique in their lives short of that many lessons, so why not help them to get it?
