Alexander Technique
Do you want to learn how to move and live with more ease and presence?
Do you suffer from chronic pain or discomfort, such as in your back or neck?
Are your habits of movement or performance stress interfering
with your best learning and your best performance in work or in your hobby ?
Are difficult emotions such as anxiety affecting your body and getting in the way of daily life?
I can help!!
Alexander Technique offers a natural and simple way to return to how the human body was designed to be. This 120 year old approach offers longterm and sustainable results which grow out of learning new patterns of movement and unlearning old habits.
It is not a therapy, but a process of learning for yourself under the guidance of a highly trained teacher.
Starting right at the beginning of our lives we develop behavioural habit patterns, both physical and mental, that lie somewhere on a spectrum between over-tense and under-energised. Not all of these contribute to the best way of being in our selves, even if they started out as good choices; rather we can find ourselves stuck in unhelpful postural or movement habits. These can contribute to chronic pain, and add to anxiety and other difficult emotions.
For musicians and other performance artists, the Alexander Technique enables you to avoid developing unhelpful patterns of learning that will interfere with achieving the best ways of ease-full performing. This relates to both physical challenges of instrumental learning and the capacity to remain centred and present during playing.
I have a particular interest in how our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual inner experiences interact with each other and influence our overall wellbeing. I offer spiritual accompaniment to individuals and retreat groups; for me, Alexander provides a practical way to explore the whole human experience through increasing awareness of what it means to be embodied as well as thinking people.
Using gentle hands-on guidance, I will help you learn or relearn a way of being that has increased and increasing ease, awareness, fluidity of movement, and joy.
I spent many years doing many other things (including raising my family, conducting choirs and singing, and offering spiritual accompaniment) before I started learning Alexander Technique and then training to teach.
After many slipped discs I had developed chronic back pain, and desperately needed a solution to the pain, weakness and stiffness that dominated my day to day life.
AT has changed not only my body but also how I am in myself: more balance, more comfort, more awareness.
I offer lessons from my home studio annexe in Kimpton, Hertfordshire,
and also in Newark, Nottinghamshire.
