I am an experienced, STAT (Society of the Teachers of The Alexander Technique) certified, Alexander Technique Teacher and have run workshops in the Alexander Technique in both the UK and abroad.
The Alexander Technique is both an embodied mindfulness and a re-educational method. It identifies habit and reaction patterns and teaches you how to work with your mind and body to change how you respond to stimuli.
The Alexander Technique works with the nervous system and the startle pattern and stress responses, which affect bodily alignment. It helps to retrain unconscious habits and reactions and can be applied to everything you do. It provides awareness and choice over :
- How you are thinking and reacting
- How you are moving your body
- How you are approaching your whole mind-body self
- How you can put what you learn into action
The Alexander Technique is a helpful tool for anxiety and stress-related conditions and will stop you from holding unnecessary tension in the body. Lessons are beneficial to everyone, because ‘use’ affects function, how you use your whole self in daily activities has a knock-on effect on your overall functioning and sense of well-being. It is a secret weapon of many high-profile actors, Olympic athletes and public speakers, giving them an invisible advantage.
I can help you to break out of old, unhelpful patterns of both movement and behaviour and learn a bit more about how you respond to the world.
I am confident that whatever you do, I can help you to do it better.
In addition to my MSTAT qualification, I am also a Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counsellour (BACP), an Advanced-year Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) and a second-year Shamanic Practitioner Initiate. This means I take a holistic, whole-person approach to my work, that of mind, body and spirit. I also run an Embodied Wellbeing Programme in my role as a Group Therapist.
