I am a trained dancer, graduating from Roehampton Institute. I first stumbled across The Alexander Technique during my dance training where I read a book by F.M. Alexander which completely turned around how I thought about movement.

A number of years later I went along to a workshop of the Alexander Technique and was amazed by the results the teacher had with the people he worked with. They seemed to visibly become lighter, happier and more at ease with themselves. They had more fluidity in activities such as playing the violin and walking. I was immediately intrigued and had to find out more.

At the same time I had pain in my right hip, which I incorrectly assumed was the inevitable result of years of dancing. I was also feeling the stress of a busy job with general physical tension along with heart palpitations.

All of this changed with Alexander Technique lessons. The pain in my hip eased, the heart palpitations vanished and I felt generally more calm, confident and at ease with myself.

I completed my 3 year training as an Alexander Technique teacher in 2005, qualifying from the Bristol Alexander Technique Training School Association (BATTSA).

I have taught at the City of Bristol College Dance Department, University of Bristol Medical School, Lloyds Banking Group and the NHS.

My teaching is influenced by yoga, contact improvisation, body-mind centering, body mapping, functional anatomy and nature.

I am a member of the Society of Teachers of Alexander Technique (STAT), and adhere to the Society's Code of Professional Conduct. I am covered by professional indemnity insurance.
