Practice:

I have particular expertise in working with dancers, yogis and other movement professionals. However I also have experience of using the method to work with the elderly and people with chronic health conditions and I am particularly interested in the impact of the method in improving quality of life.

Biography:

I started dancing ballet and tap at the age of 4 and have danced ever since although the forms have shifted over the years. My current dance passions are Argentine Tango and Egyptian Belly dance.

I have always been fascinated by movement in all its forms. I was a competitive gymnast for many years and took up yoga after retiring from gymnastics. I have also ridden horses for years with a particular interest in classical dressage.

I originally stumbled across the Feldenkrais method after a serious back injury in a riding accident. Once my back had recovered I put it on the back burner for many years and then starting working with the method again as a way of improving my ease and quality of movement for dancing. This time I really got fascinated with the potential this method offers and decided to undertake a professional training in 2010.
