Marilyn Carpenter

Marilyn is a teaching member of Alexander Technique International, a Reiki practitioner, a Seimei practitioner and has studied T’ai Chi Ch’un since 1996. Her long-term interests in holistic wellness, healing, and personal development have led down a variety of paths, some by foot and others through self-exploration and learning from others.  

Marilyn has been in service with Westinghouse and Emerson Power & Water Solutions in Pittsburgh since 1979. Starting as a Field Engineer with a BSEE from The Ohio State University, she began commissioning data acquisition and control systems in the USA. Whether a troubleshooting assignment or project execution with time and budget constraints in the USA or at international sites, these assignments present opportunities to learn and meet people from different backgrounds.  

Marilyn retired from the corporate world late 2021 and continues training in Alexander Technique. She began with Alexander Technique lessons in 1996, graduated from the Alexander Alliance teacher training program in 2004, and was a teaching member in ATI, beginning in 2006. She continued attending workshops over the years, and with local Pittsburgh Alexander Technique teacher Carolyn Johnston.  

While continuing Alexander Technique studies (with Mio Morales) she also volunteers with organizations such as:  

  • The Pittsburgh OMA Center for Mind Body Spirit, with interests to support personal development and education for all ages and youth STEM programs.  
  • The Spectroscopy Society of Pittsburgh (SSP) is a philanthropic, educational organization dedicated to enriching the study and practice of spectroscopy.  

Since 1946, the SSP’s aim has been to promote scientific endeavors among spectroscopists at all professional levels. This is achieved through meetings, educational lectures and courses, mentorships, and access to a collaborative network of member-scientists.  

The SSP raises funds for its philanthropic efforts. Through Pittcon, the SSP and SACP donate approximately one million dollars each year to support various science outreach activities, including scholarships and internships, educator and scientific achievement awards, member and community educational programming, equipment grants, research grants, and grants to public science centers, libraries, and museums.  

Marilyn is a member of the BEWEL Buckeye Engineering Women in Executive Leadership, for The Ohio State University.

Sean Redpath

Sean Redpath is an ATI certified Alexander Technique teacher and Integral Life Coach whose simple, organic approach to accessing guidance from within the body has helped people of various professions find greater ease and freedom in their daily activities, including a more dynamic use of the voice for communication.

Sean brings together thirty years of knowledge and experience that includes professional acting, singing, directing, Alexander Technique, Pilates and Life Coaching. He first began learning the Alexander Technique with Sue Laurie, then resident Alexander Technique teacher for the Royal National Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company. It was here he began to learn the inseparable relationship between the use of the body (posture and poise) and effective vocal production. He subsequently went on to certify as a teacher of the technique. Prior to this Sean had studied Acting at Wits University and Dance & Musical Theatre at Tshwane University, going on to perform on stage, TV, and film. It was his keen interest in freeing the voice for optimal performance and communication that lead him to study the Alexander Technique, the very same reason Alexander himself originated the technique.

Sean currently runs a successful Alexander Technique and Pilates studio in Johannesburg, South, coaching clients locally as well as internationally.
