About the Creator
Hi, I’m Maaike Aarts, a professional violinist and certified Alexander Technique teacher with over two decades of experience. My own journey—from being injured and unable to play to performing pain-free since 2002—along with 23 years of teaching, inspired me to create the Think Up app.
I’ve helped hundreds of people reduce tension, recover from injury, and find flow and balance. My mission is to make the transformative benefits of the Alexander Technique accessible to everyone, anytime, anywhere.
