Bio:

Chronic neck and back pain led Mari Hodges to the Alexander Technique, sparking her interest in pain science. As an Alexander Technique practitioner and pain management specialist, Mari serves as an educator, guide, coach, and fellow explorer with clients, many of whom live with persistent pain. Her aim is not to “fix” anyone’s pain, but rather to assist individuals in embarking on a journey toward better health, well-being, and personal transformation by fostering learning, curiosity, and self-awareness. Through the application of these principles in her own practice, Mari helps clients discover self-acceptance, a sense of inner safety, enjoyment in moving in new ways, and increased confidence in making conscious choices, with or without pain.

Mari obtained her Alexander Technique teaching certificate from the Escuela de Técnica Alexander Buenos Aires. She also holds a Therapeutic Pain Specialist certificate from Purdue University and a Master of Science in Medicine in Pain Management from the University of Sydney. Additionally, she is certified as an Art of Running instructor.

Mari runs a private practice as an Alexander Technique teacher and pain coach, and leads the volunteer PainSavvy Walk & Talk community program in Missoula, Montana. She also conducts courses for practitioners and individuals living with pain.

In her leisure time, Mari enjoys delving into pain science, cross-country skiing, and dancing tango. For more information, visit DiscoverEase.how.
