About Me

It was by chance in 1985  that I came upon the Alexander Technique. Half price introductory lessons were on offer I couldn’t resist a bargain ! I had been plagued by constant low back pain and had tried umpteen routes both medical and alternative to find a remedy for my pain to no avail.

That introduction changed my life forever.

In 1988 I came to London and trained with Walter Carrington who himself had been trained by FM Alexander. Walter worked as Alexander’s training assistant and carried on running the course after FM’s death in 1955.

I have now worked as an Alexander Teacher for 17  years and, in that time, I have seen it enable many people to change their lives.  To know that there is something out there that can, when applied, relieve pain and also bring a sense of calm, peacefulness and balance to our lives brings great peace of mind.

I feel the need to start living with our hearts and souls as well as our minds is a must in this sometimes hectic world, if we are to experience a sense of connection and happiness in our lives.  The Alexander Technique makes this deep and inextricable connection possible in a gentle common sense and pain free way.

It is because of my personal experience in seeing how, taking responsibility for my own health, brought about such positive benefits, that I would like to share these insights and enable others to change the habits of a lifetime using the Alexander Technique.
