I first encountered the Alexander Technique more than thirty years ago while teaching in North London, when lessons were offered to teachers and pupils at my school. I was curious, although slightly sceptical, and signed up.

What interested me was how the Technique could be applied to the most ordinary activities — sitting, walking, picking up a bag or waiting at a bus stop. Nothing was too mundane, but it was always interesting and helpful. My back pain also disappeared after a few lessons.

Years later, the demands of teaching, lecturing and writing brought me back to the Technique and eventually led to training as an Alexander teacher.

I completed my STAT-recognised training in Brighton in 2020 and am a member of the Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique (MSTAT).

My approach to teaching is practical, thoughtful and empathetic. I help students recognise how habitual ways of moving and responding may be working against them.

Together, we explore different choices that can make everyday movement easier and more efficient.
