In 2004 I was suffering from tension headaches and migraine. My back was also giving me trouble as I was working as an IT professional and sat at a desk all day.

I turned to Alexander lessons to see if they could help. My backache stopped completely soon after I started lessons. And although I do still get migraines, it is very rare.

However there were other unexpected advantages. As my posture changed to a more open and confident stance I noticed other people began responding to me in a more positive way. I felt calmer. The technique taught me that I had a choice in how I wanted to react in situations. I learned to reject knee jerk responses and instead began to work in a more considered, relaxed and productive way.

I loved the Alexander Technique and the difference it made in my life. So much so that I decided to train as an Alexander Technique Teacher and have never looked back!

I am a full member of the Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique. (S.T.A.T.) and have been teaching Alexander Technique since 2007. I graduated from the Centre for Alexander Technique after a 3 year full time S.T.A.T. accredited course of study. I also trained for a further year at The Victoria Training Course for the Alexander Technique in London.

I have taught The Alexander Technique in London at CityLit in Holborn  and The ArtsEd School of Performing Arts in Chiswick.

Today, I continue my professional development with regular attendance of S.T.A.T. post graduate courses and continue to take Alexander Technique lessons. I’m a member of Backcare – the UK organisation dedicated to improving treatment for back and neck pain. I have professional indemnity insurance, adhere to the S.T.A.T.’s code of professional practice and I hold an up to date CRB certificate.
