My first Alexander teacher was also my cello teacher, and
she introduced me to the technique in 1996 when I was
suffering from chronic back pain.
I had unsuccessfully tried
many different kinds of treatment for my back, and found
in the Alexander Technique the first possibility of really
learning to help myself and take responsibility for my own
well-being. This was an enormously liberating experience, and for me, it continues to be a life-enhancing
discipline that informs all that I do.
 I studied for three years at the Constructive Teaching
Centre
in Holland Park, West London, and qualified in 2000. This
long-established and highly regarded school was directed by Walter
Carrington, who trained with FM Alexander in the 1930s and taught
continually for well over 60 years, until his death in August 2005 at
the age of 90.
My private teaching practice is in Chiswick, West London and I continue to teach on
both the teacher-training course and post-graduate refresher courses at
the Constructive Teaching Centre in Holland Park, where I also give
private lessons.
Apart from my own practice I have taught private Lessons at:
Latymer Upper School
The Godolphin and Latymer School
The Green School, Brentford, for the London Borough of Hounslow Adult Education
And Group lessons / Introductory workshops for:
London Borough of Hounslow Adult Education
Teachers
Nurses
Medical Students
Foundation year students at LAMDA
(The London Academy of Music
and Dramatic Art)
