I am a qualified teacher of the Alexander Technique registered with STAT. I completed my three-year training course at Brighton Alexander Technique College, graduating from CCARE Centre for Constructive Awareness and Related Education, Totnes in 2017.
Prior to training as an Alexander Technique teacher my background is in general nursing and Health Visiting, having worked in the NHS since 1984. I trained as a nurse in Leeds: 1988 BscHons Nursing RGN and 1998 BscHons Specialist Community Public Health Nursing / RHV.
I have had broad experience working with people in all stages of life and with a wide range of health conditions. I have a strong personal interest in health promotion and health education. I discovered the Alexander Technique through my own experience of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) which I later came to realise was related to neuromuscular tension habits from learning the violin and piano from childhood.
The Alexander Technique has become a way for me to draw together the things I value most in life, health, education and enjoyment of singing and playing musical instruments.
