My expertise is the Alexander Technique. At its heart is a simple premise: unlearn the habits which cause you harmful tension, and you’ll rediscover your physical and mental poise.
Evidence shows that this method is effective for dissolving back and neck pain; that it helps deal with stress; and that it improves your quality of movement and balance.

My story
I’ve been involved with the Alexander Technique my whole adult life. I first experienced it as a teenager, and was amazed by the emotional and physical balance it gave me. Then, as I began a stressful academic career, the Alexander Technique became my lifeline – a way to get out of my head and look after my wellbeing in a holistic way.
Following several years of Alexander Technique lessons, I undertook three years full-time teacher training in 2007 and haven’t looked back.
Since then, I have taught the Alexander Technique to hundreds of people from all walks of life. I have been much in demand as a teacher and workshop leader in the UK and abroad.
I have also developed a particular specialism teaching the Alexander Technique to musicians. I therefore also work at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in London.

But what is it?
The Alexander Technique is a method to prevent life’s stresses and strains interfering in our best coordination. Over time, unconscious habits can cause pain or tension at work or in everyday life, and can also lead to underperformance in activities such as music or sports.
Taking lessons in the Alexander Technique enables you strip away these habits and rediscover the poise and freedom that most of us had as children. The results can be far-reaching, impacting everything from posture to self-confidence.
