Working with Loba C.
Chudak, wellness coach and Alexander Technique teacher , has empowered
me to take back control of the things important to me. Her work with me
has been focused, dynamic, and inspiring. I have taken ownership of my
feelings and have been able to find my inner peace, some specifics are
listed. |

1. I first started seeing Loba
with the hope of finding relief from my long standing neck and back pain
which was slowly taking control of my life. The techniques of her
practice, starting with the first session produced amazing results. My
neck and back pain are minimal or non-existent.
2. All of life is “dynamic”. I’ve
experience chronic fatigue for years never really knowing why. Loba’s
work has guided me to a broader knowledge of the connection between the
spiritual and physical. I have been introduced to techniques for
relaxation and core strengthening that have made a real difference in
how I process fatigue and stress.
3. Understanding ones’ self and
self-expression are major hurdles. I struggled with emotional clarity
torn between
accommodating the needs of others and nurturing my own set
of needs. My work with Loba has enabled me to
embrace a new level of
confidence and clarity, I now feel justified to take care of myself.

Fundamental to my work with Loba
is that she’s intuitive and cares about my progress. I found Loba to be
passionate about helping people help themselves through encouragement,
support, and clear guidance.

When I first began seeing Loba I
was experiencing anxiety and mild depression, pain due to a
minor neck injury and difficulties with tennis elbow.
I learned many things
from working with Loba: a new awareness for how I am holding
myself and using my body throughout the day now allows me to
notice when and how I create tension, including my neck and
back, and to respond in a whole new way, making immediate
changes that free up tension and improve the result of the task
at hand. The work has created a new understanding of my
mind-body connection and it’s relationship to overall health. As
a result the pain in my elbow cleared up very quickly and the
improvement in my range of motion in both tennis and golf is
remarkable. I also am experiencing a new level of coordination
and openness in my movement and greater strength and speed in my
tennis game in general.
It also has been very
helpful to receive her guidance with regard to nutrition and
wellness through her knowledge and study of the relationship
between what we consume in our daily lives and the impact this
can have on our wellbeing.
I feel gratitude for
having been introduced to Loba, her work and the Alexander
Technique. It has brought me to a better understanding of the
choices I have that can greatly improve my quality of life, my
interactions with others, and my overall physical and mental
health.

I come from a life of difficulty and challenge. When I began
coaching with Loba almost a year ago I had a deep desire to make
a better life for myself, change myself, my attitude toward
myself and others, and improve my health, my relationships and
my financial life. I wanted to be healthy, more balanced in all
aspects of my life. It was hard for me to be positive, to
believe in myself and to trust that I could do something about
it and change.
I have learned many
things from working with Loba. Learning to be present in myself;
aware of my body, more aware of my thoughts and emotions; I am
learning to observe my thoughts and have come to notice the
negative habits and ‘internal agreements I have made’ that keep
me from changing and growing. The work has enabled me to notice,
pause and redirect, which allows me a whole new way of being. I
am now able to choose and take action, rather than feeling a
victim to my past and others. The work and Loba’s guidance have
been deeply transformative, bringing me from a place of a lot of
anger and feeling victimized to embracing the idea that there is
space for me, my existence is good and that I have the right to
thrive.
And further I have quit
smoking! My emotions have become more stable. I continue to
improve my diet so that my meals are more supportive to my mind
and body. I am experiencing more clarity and trust around
setting goals for myself, including working with my finances. I
have moved from being angry about money, to appreciate and
embrace myself to be worthy of receiving it, reducing the amount
of fear and stress I experience in my life. My income has
stabilized as well as increased and for the first time in my
life I can see the possibility of making a living with joy. I am
excited about new possibilities for my work to come.
Thank you Loba,for your generosity and help, your coaching and
guidance have been invaluable.

After having taken lessons with
Loba, I actually still feel like my learning in Alexander
Technique continues. It's quite amazing; I notice myself from
time to time discovering more practical and useful ways to
utilize my body's natural mechanics. As a result, I believe, I
suffer less now from various pains and aches which I had
hitherto assumed unavoidable. For instance, when I began
studying with her, I suffered from pain in my feet, and after a
few sessions, this was gone. Moreover, she and I worked together
on my guitar technique, and since then my playing feels like it
is utilizing more functional movements. Loba is a wonderfully
skilled instructor, and without hesitation I'd certainly
recommend her excellent teaching to anyone.
