Meeting Anne-Marie and working with her has been one of the biggest blessings in my life. I found peace in working with Anne-Marie & learned how to get in touch with myself under stress.

I came to Anne-Marie because I was in the middle of changing my work life which had defined me for so many years. I did not know who I really was outside of work and I was hiding behind it.
I had no clue who my true self was. The messages I sent to myself were pretty negative. Not being good enough. In other words, I kept my self-worth in doubt. I was bummed out about this and wanted to change and had no clue how.
I found peace in working with Anne-Marie. I started realizing all my different personalities or “selves”, as she calls them. I found out why I was presenting myself differently depending on whom I was interacting with versus being me.
Meeting Anne-Marie and working with her has been one of the biggest blessings in my life. I found peace in working with Anne-Marie & learned how to get in touch with myself under stress.
I was able to clearly articulate my feelings and found I had the right to do that. I’m more honest with people and not afraid to show my feelings.
With Anne-Marie’s guidance, I started recognizing signals in my body when I reverted back to so many years of not understanding me and living the true me. It led me to better relationships with my husband, son, family, and friends. I’m more honest with people and not afraid to show my feelings. I am also more honest with myself.
My biggest “Aha” moment…? Wow, there were so many! I think that it was how I protected my inner child, kept myself in a state of protection. Now, instead of the protective mechanism, I can do it from being aware, being kinder, being more honest with myself. I also found out about the actress in me and how I used her to deflect. I learned to identify my “selves” or my different personalities and how helpful it is to be aware of this. Now, I simply show up as myself.
Meeting Anne-Marie and working with her has been one of the biggest blessings in my life. She is so passionate about what she does. You have to do the work and she is not going to let you off the hook. At first, the work was tough, but by the end, it was so worth it to be able to live life in a much more positive, spiritual, and aware way. Finding out who you are and what you really love and cherishing those moments is truly a blessing.
I highly recommend starting your journey with Anne-Marie today!

She really does help you unravel the blocked energy and truly heal from chronic pain.

Anne Marie is the embodiment of pure joy and transformative healing. I feel good just thinking about her!
In our sessions, she hears between words, studies our body’s language, sees – and feels – between our flesh and blood layers.
My arms and hands were painfully concrete down to the nerves and with each extraordinary session I enjoyed flexibility, felt more supple – all of my senses happily integrated on every level.
She really does help you unravel the blocked energy and truly heal from chronic pain. Anne-Marie inspires the discipline to align our daily lives with purpose and love, enriching each moment a thousand fold.
…the first session was a win: she was able to reduce my pain… By the end of the series, I was pain-free.
Tim Lenz
I’m a software developer and recovering athlete, so the combination of poorly healed injuries and long hours spent sitting in front of a computer have taken their toll.
In the last few years, things had finally become unbearable. I was in constant pain from a very unhappy back and in search of a solution. I tried everything: every school of chiropractic there is, Rolfing, acupuncture, massage, drugs, yoga, meditation, diet, you name it. Nothing provided lasting relief. Desperately seeking a solution I hadn’t yet tried, I found Anne-Marie.
When you’ve lived with constant pain this long, you kind of just accept it as part of your daily routine and any reduction in intensity is as much of a win as you can expect.
I went into my first session with Anne-Marie hoping for mitigation of my pain, but certainly not expecting any kind of miracle. And the first session was a win: she was able to reduce my pain. That’s a strong advertisement for the efficacy of her practice, so I eagerly signed up for a full series.
By the end of the series, I was pain-free. Anne-Marie was able to manipulate my body back into a healthy state and gave me exercises to do to keep it there. She helped me connect more closely with how my body is doing and to observe and react to any issues before they become serious problems.
In addition to her amazing healing skills, she’s a beautiful soul with incredible energy. Seeing her always brings a smile to my face.
Trust Anne-Marie to help you. You won’t regret it.
I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been. I’m excited, I’m so much more loving; I connect with others more easily; I’m happy; I’m empowered.
Guillermo “Gimotion” Blinker
Instant transformation is what I experienced when I met Anne-Marie. It was outside of her office when we were talking about neck and back pain and what she could do to assist me in realigning myself.
My desire and my commitment to achieve optimal health and her commitment to my success created an explosion of energy that transformed the world every time we were working together. I was exactly where I needed to be……
…….In the moment. And in that moment we created possibility after possibility. She taught me to: love, trust, release, receive, connect, step into my power and to empower the people around me.
I’m an artist. I mainly express my art through the physical and vocal. The work I did with Anne-Marie got me more in touch with my self-expression. I am a living example of her work. I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been. I’m excited about life. I’m so much more loving; I connect with others more easily; I’m happy; I’m empowered. I’m so grateful for Anne-Marie and her Bodywork and Coaching series. Words cannot express so I choose action. I live this and share this everyday.
Thank you.
With greater self-awareness, the result was a new relationship with my body and a new release on life.
Erica Kim
I started seeing Anne-Marie to help relieve years of chronic (lower) back pain. By then, the pain had radiated down both legs eventually causing foot drop in my right foot.
As an active individual who enjoyed working out vigorously, I was at my worst and hit rock bottom. After our first session, I felt immediate relief and signed up for the entire 12 sessions.
When we first started, my knowledge of structural integration was limited to the technical side of realigning my body through connective tissue manipulation.
Eventually I became aware of emotional stresses from everyday life that had built up overtime attributing to my physical pain. With movement education and greater self-awareness, the result was a new relationship with my body and a new release on life.
Working with Anne-Marie was a wonderful and unique experience that continues to resonate with me. Anne-Marie is a caring individual with an abundance of knowledge, guidance and genuine approach to greater health. I am grateful to have been part of this experience.
…learned to let go, to take better care of myself inside and out, and ultimately, to heal.
Jenifer Madson
I came to Anne-Marie after almost a year of battling what I thought was chronic sciatica, a pain so intense and persistent that I could barely walk, much less try to stretch or move my way through on my own. I was desperate for relief, and knew that the pain was a symptom of something deeper, something that Anne-Marie was expertly trained to help me uncover.
The series of sessions involved so much more than muscular manipulation and massage: each of them gave me the precious opportunity to consider a mind/body disconnect that might be manifesting as my pain. As we worked our way up and down and around the sections of my body, I learned to better listen to and trust how it all connects, spiritually, physically, emotionally, the whole nine yards, and as a result, learned to let go, to take better care of myself inside and out, and ultimately, to heal.
There is no one better suited to be your guide and healer on this intensely personal journey than Anne-Marie. Her warmth, intuition, expertise, and presence is unmatched.

She taught me how to transform things from the past into a positive form of growth.
Chris Cimino
Going through a dramatic upheaval in my life, some years ago, I realized that I needed help.
After one session with Anne-Marie, I knew that her work was something special. My outlook totally changed. She taught me how to transform things from the past into a positive form of growth.
Being told it was OK to feel what I was feeling was a tremendous weight lifted off. Her combination of mind-body alignment & healing is something you will not find in traditional psychotherapy.
I learned how intertwined my physical, mental & emotional states are. She gave me the tools to navigate very rough waters. Today, I use those tools when things get disjointed in my life.
If you are looking to become a better version of yourself, Anne-Marie is for you. I highly recommend her, especially if you may not think that you need help. She is the real deal and will help you through to the lighter and brighter side of life.

…a unique combination of meditation, centering, accountability, and thought-partnership – this is truly a coaching experience like no other.
Valia Glytsis
The Creative Leadership program was incredible. As a coach myself, I know the importance of having a coach, a truly trusted advisor who can give both tough love and unconditional support.
Anne-Marie is the epitome of what a coach should be. With a unique combination of meditation, centering, accountability, and thought-partnership – this is truly a coaching experience like no other.

…I reached a new level of physical and emotional integration that catapulted me to take massive action and pursue my dreams…
Ginny Baro
When I started working with Anne-Marie, I was experiencing an internal and external shift in my career and life.
Through her 12-session body-alignment series, I deepened my understanding of what my body needed and my spirit craved. Combined with developing a daily growth mindset, self-love, and a connection practice, I reached a new level of physical and emotional integration that catapulted me to take massive action and pursue my dreams as a leadership coach, career strategist, and transformational speaker.
Our work continued with private coaching to remove limitations that held me back in my romantic relationships. Since then, I’ve opened up to a new level of vulnerability and self-worth.
Anne-Marie’s energy is uplifting. She listens, connects, and cares deeply. Anyone who has the opportunity to partner with Art of Alignment is in for a treat. Your life will never be the same.

Anne-Marie’s programs support me in creating results in my life that are beyond transformational.
Barbara Katsnelson
I have been trying to come up with a testimonial for about 8 days now that I felt would convey Anne-Marie Duchene’s greatness. I hope this gives you a taste…
I came to Anne-Marie because I wanted to get Structural Integration done. From the very first meeting she instantly made a difference for me. She was beautiful, kind, knowledgeable, and interesting. She took care in how she treated me and her work place was beautiful, clean and felt safe.
What I found remarkable was her ability to work on my body and integrate that work to what was happening in my life. By releasing the stored tension and aligning my body, I was able to feel freer emotionally and mentally thereby creating space for a more balanced life.
I had been aware that mind, body and soul are connected, but through working with Anne-Marie I experienced the connection in my own body, mind and soul. It was a transformational lesson for me.
At the end of the Structural Integration sessions, I ended up signing up for the Creative Leadership Coaching Program. The program supports me in creating results in my life that are beyond transformational. I wish everyone I knew had an Anne-Marie for a coach.
I am literally making my dreams come true. For example, within the year and half I have been working with her, I started dating my boyfriend and we’vemoved in together. I have stopped making issues in my life as dramatic as I used to and because of this I am more peaceful which is a large part of my vision for my life when I started the program.
I have been able to see my father and stepmother in a different and new light which has allowed us to have a more loving and connected relationship. I have realized how much I try to change people I love, and as a result I have been consciously catching myself in the act and stopping myself, and as a result of that, I have created deeper loving bonds between myself and my loved ones.
The list of results from working with Anne-Marie is endless and I can’t thank her enough. Outside of my results, I feel that it is important to share a few examples of Anne-Marie in action when she’s inspiring me, supporting, and standing for me:
A few weeks ago I was on a coaching call with her and she said to me “we’re not going for excellence we are going for mastery!!” I thought to myself this is just one of the reasons I chose this woman to be a guide, a messenger, a mentor, a coach and a friend.
Another example is one I hold deep in my heart and am truly grateful for. A few months after our work started together my mother had passed away. It was a profoundly painful experience and I needed all the support that I could get. To my surprise on the morning of the funeral she had arrived to be there for my family and me. She took time out her day to come and support me only months after we had met. I don’t know of many people who would do that. I am truly blessed that she did, and continues to stand by me.
Working with Anne-Marie has definitely transformed my life path. Within a couple months, I gained clarity on what I wanted to do.
Grace Kraaijvanger
Working with Anne-Marie has definitely transformed my life path. When I met her, I was in great pain due to grief from the loss of my mother, total dissatisfaction in my job, and serious health issues.
I knew that I wanted to create change and embrace my talents and my life, but I felt very stuck and overwhelmed as to how to do that. Within a couple months of working with Anne-Marie, I gained clarity on what I wanted to do.
…Anne-Marie taught me that I have a lot more power and control over the direction of my life.
Andres Javier
After working with Anne-Marie from the spring of 2012 until the spring of 2014, I realized that Anne-Marie is a distinct, powerful, committed, and caring coach, Hellerwork body specialist, and human being.
With a powerfully magnetic personality, Anne-Marie has constantly impressed me with her work ethic, knowledge, and genuine care.
Since working with Anne-Marie, I have been introduced to a new ideology and school of thought that allows me to be empowered, accountable, and responsible within a realm of possibility.
Despite the challenges that I have been presented with, I now understand that I have a lot more power and control over the direction of my life.
Aside from being a vast source of knowledge, assistance, support, and a hands-on coach, the main reason I would refer anybody to Anne-Marie is because she is fully devoted to the well-being and the improvement of her clients.
In only three sessions, I witnessed so many changes within me and in my life! I could stand up straight, proud and connected.
Sabrina Appadu
The reason I came to Anne-Marie was thanks to a great friend of mine who advised to me to visit her for my back matters. She made me an active participant in the process of my healing and I loved the way we could connect the body injuries with my other inner “problems”.
In only three sessions, I could witness so many changes within me and into my life!! The way I could stand up was so much more different (straight, proud, connected) and I kept attracting blessings that made me evolve.
Living abroad, I’ve had the chance to do the coaching program for a few months. She has challenged me much as she has encouraged me – through her strength, authenticity and honesty – to raise even more my awareness and to be honest towards myself. Not to hide myself anymore.
I feel even more connected and doing that work with Anne-Marie means to me taking even more responsibility in my life. Taking actions in spite of my fears, and daring experiencing what makes me afraid, which is certainly the path leading to my own dreams.
The reason why I would refer Anne-Marie is because she contributes to raise awareness and to have a life much more consistent than one could ever imagine. Working with her is like an adventure and a travel within oneself but also, out there, in the external world. She makes the world a vast laboratory and we become aware that we are definitely the chemists of our life, able to play with the different materials and tools that come across.
The reason that I continue to work with her is because I want to let my star shine even more. We may have many lives if reincarnation is, but in that one, I want to give all that I have to bring my contribution on Earth. And I feel that working with her is one of the precious paths that can help me to fulfill the different missions and dreams I have been holding somewhere…
The biggest transformation that I have had while working with her…there are so many!
To put it in a nutshell, working with her keeps attracting what I Love the most in Life, which is Music. It makes me go within my very own essence.
Today, I can more easily feel connected and take some actions because Anne-Marie and I have worked on this connection. And it feels good to feel accepted and valorized by a coach so Intuitive. ☺ So, working with her simply means learning to love yourself more and giving you one of the most beautiful gifts you could offer yourself.

…I learned is that when life gets challenging, I can pause and bring awareness and clarity to the moment.
Robin Leigh Hale
I recently enrolled in Anne-Marie’s Mindful Meditation Workshop series.
I was going through a difficult time and felt I needed to learn strategies and skills to help me navigate this period with self love and mindfulness.
I arrived at the first workshop with an open mind and heart, ready for this new experience.
Anne-Marie started with a gentle, guided mind body meditation and I knew right away I was in a safe space that would allow me to explore this new skill of mindful meditation.
During the course of the series I met others that were similarly interested in the mind body connection through intention and meditation.
Anne-Marie created a safe environment for us all to get to know each other and share our experiences.
One of the most important skills I learned through this series is when life gets challenging I pause and bring awareness and clarity to the moment. This has proved to be invaluable as life in NYC and life in general can be demanding and stressful.
Thank you Anne-Marie for opening my heart to this practice!
Anne-Marie’s work brings results after the first session and it keeps working after the twelve sessions have been completed.
Shauna Sorensen
I started seeing Anne-Marie because of long term pain in my lower back and right sciatic nerve impingement… Her work has aligned my shoulders and hips as well as reducing sciatic and hip pain.
I would recommend her because it is more than a “quick fix”. The treatment starts bringing results after the first session and it keeps working after the twelve sessions have been completed.
The work that Anne-Marie and I have done together has given me the strength, confidence and self assurance to push forward in both my personal life as well as my career…
