Why study the Alexander Technique?
Learning the Alexander Technique will allow you to correct familiar – but damaging – postural habits such as slumping, twisting and gripping.
Lessons will:
- Provide you with a life-long practical skill to recapture your postural vitality
- Teach you to better organise and balance your body and thought patterns
- Enhance how you feel and understand yourself and those around you
Who is it for?
- This is a self-help tool for all ages from teens onward
- In addition to enhancing general well-being, lessons address issues as varied as pregnancy, sleeplessness and back-related problems
- It is a recognized tool for musicians, dancers and actors
- The technique is a valuable aid to enhance sports performance, including cycling, gym and yoga
How do lessons work?
I teach the Alexander Technique through gentle but firm hands-on contact. In time, you will relinquish bad postural habits by unravelling muscular tensions - hopefully for good. Lessons are one-on-one and last for 40 minutes. Although some pupils may notice improvements after a single lesson, deriving long-term benefit usually takes about ten lessons.

I run a private practice from my home in Primrose Hill. I have also taught at the Medical Research Centre in Tavistock Square and at the Alexander Teacher Training School, WC1. My interest in the Alexander Technique began aged fifteen, when I started having lessons. Eventually, I chose to abandon my desk-bound career as an editor and completed the three-year training course required to teach the technique. I graduated in 2006 from the Constructive Teaching Centre, the school established by FM Alexander. My teachers included Dilys and Walter Carrington. My pupils learn that the technique is a great tool – or a good friend – that can bring about an ease-filled life. And who doesn’t want that?
