About the Alexander Technique
What is the Alexander Technique?
The stress we experience in our daily lives leaves an impression on our hearts and minds and results in habitual tension in our bodies. This tension can build up over the years without us even realising it. Our unhelpful postural habits can cause muscle or joint pain, impaired breathing, headaches, digestive upset and a variety of other conditions. The Alexander Technique is an extremely effective way of releasing these habits and retraining the mind and body to handle stress in a much healthier way. This mind-body integration brings the stresses and strains throughout our bodies into consciousness and it is these which are often the very cause of our poor health conditions.
About me.

Originally I started taking Alexander Technique lessons to alleviate back pain. As a teenager I was diagnosed with idiopathic Scoliosis and had to wear a back brace for six years. In my early twenties I struggled with back pain and ended up in hospital with severe back spasms. Luckily my GP recommended Alexander Technique lessons, which alleviated the pain and enabled me to maintain a demanding job and busy family life.
While taking my own first lessons I experienced so many positive physical and mental changes, that I decided to leave my career in the fashion industry and train as an Alexander Technique Teacher under Anthony Kingsley at the Alexander Teacher Training School in London.
I work just outside Tunbridge Wells, in Bells Yew Green and I hope to bring my clients the same benefits as I have experienced myself.
