+ The Autism Mom Coach
The Autism Mom Coach is a 1:1 coaching program founded by Lisa Candera, a certified life coach, podcaster, lawyer, and, most importantly, full-time single mother to a teenager with autism. Lisa created her coaching program based on the deep belief that parents raising children with autism have more power than they think. Autism is part of your life, but it does not get to control it—you do. Lisa wants to teach you how you can show up in your life as the parent you want to be, even when parenthood looks nothing like you had imagined. In her 1:1 coaching program, Lisa teaches her clients how to manage their minds, regulate their emotions, and self-soothe their nervous systems using cognitive behavioral tools, a polyvagal-informed approach, and her real-life, in-the-trenches experiences as a parent raising a teenager with autism. Through Lisa’s program, clients learn how to:

The Alexander Technique at ART of Releasing in Ashford
The Alexander Technique (AT) is a holistic and educational method that primarily addresses postural tone, breathing, and movement coordination. AT is also known as a cognitive embodiment approach, as it helps you to identify and eliminate harmful habits in how you use “yourself” (your body–mind). AT can help to improve posture, eliminate or reduce pain, and develop greater awareness and energetic efficiency in everyday activities and interactions. When freed from fixed habits and patterns, there is coinciding freedom from the physical, mental, and emotional reactions to stimuli. Nearly everyone has habitual patterns of tension. Some of them are consciously learned while others are unconscious. As awareness is developed the unconscious is revealed and unhelpful patterns can be unlearned. This enables the possibility of new choices in posture, movement, breathing, and reaction. After the basic AT principles are integrated you will have the tools, skills, and embodied knowledge to help yourself without being reliant on a practitioner and you will become your own best teacher. AT has attracted many artists, musicians, athletes, dancers, and actors looking to help improve performance and posture. It is also beneficial to anyone who struggles with speaking or breathing issues, sitting at a desk and working at a computer for long hours, and for anyone in pain. Sessions are available in person, online, or using a hybrid of both in-person and online training.
Kristin Mozeiko, DMA, founder of ART of Releasing, is an AmSAT certified Alexander Technique (AT) teacher and a 2008 graduate of Alexander Technique in NYC. Dr. Mozeiko merged her skills as an educator, musician, conductor, author, and AT specialist and served as a faculty member at Queens College where she taught and performed for 14 years. She currently teaches AT and Releasing in NYC and CT. A er leaving her academic post she moved to Ashford, CT, where, in December 2022, she opened her new lakefront studio. She is currently welcoming new clients. Visit www. ARTofReleasing.com to learn more.
