About Me

Whilst at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama at Glasgow in the 1980s I was fortunate to have group and individual Alexander Technique lessons as part of the course.  There were regularly four teachers that worked at the music college and so I rotated who I would have lessons from, which offered me a much wider perspective.

After the first couple of years I continued as a private student as I found the Technique such a strong support to my learning.

So, exposed to the principles of the Technique since the age of seventeen, I quickly appreciated the range of its applications.  In the first weeks of learning the three main principles I was able to apply them to my ordinary day activities, such as washing up and cycling to college.  I realised this was a new way of living-in-ease and resolved to train to become a teacher of this revolutionary Technique.

MSTAT

Teacher of the Alexander Technique

I undertook the three year training to become a Teacher of the Alexander Technique at the Alexander Technique Training Centre in Devon (now the Centre for Constructive Awareness and Related Education) and graduated in 1987.  

I took a short break from teaching in the 1990s and re-trained at the Manchester Alexander Technique Training School (MATTS).

The Alexander Technique informs all my activities in life and teaching it to my students brings a great joy in the shared exploration of body/mind use.  I share AT work also with the local teachers in the area, as I value sharing knowledge and experience.

I enjoy barefoot running and connection with like-minded people who share their interests, work and skills.
