I am a Land Agent having gained BSc (hons) in Estate Management from the University of Reading. It was very active work being out and about on country estates all day. As a result of a back injury I had to give up my career and an active life.. Over several years I had treatment with an osteopath and then a physiotherapist, the latter recommended that I have some Alexander Technique lessons to help relieve backache and to improve my posture.
Over the next two years I found the Alexander Technique to be very beneficial and decided to train to become an Alexander Technique teacher. I completed a three year full time course at the Cumbria Alexander Training School in Kendal in July 2000.
From learning the Alexander Technique I found that I could start all the outdoor activities I love to do from hill walking to outdoor swimming and .gardening. Since 2000 I have walked extensively in the Lake District, Scotland, the Nepalese Himalayas and New Zealand.
The Alexander Technique has also helped me play the piano, guitar, clarinet and sing in a better way. I am learning to play the saxophone.

Once you have learned the Alexander Technique you can apply it to anything you are doing.
I am a Professional member of the Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique (STAT). I adhere to the stringent code of ethics provided by STAT and I hold Professional Indemnity Insurance .
I have also studied the Eyebody Method for 15 years as well as more recently been learning the Bates Method both helping me improve my vision and not wear glasses. I bring this eye work into my Alexander teaching because as your eyes relax it helps to improve your vision, posture and how you move.

Since 2000 I have taught individual Alexander lessons in person and online as well as workshops and courses to many people of all ages with a variety of physical problems as well as dancers, musicians, and sports people in North Yorkshire and the North East of England.
