Practice:
Our clinic hosts practitioners of various techniques and complimentary medicine methods within a martial arts centre. We are all committed to holistically enabling people to improve their health and ability to move.
 
In addition to our usual classes, we run Well Being Days, when participants get to choose three one-hour group classes and two 15-minute treatment tasters in between a Japanese buffet lunch and a champagne tea.
 
I currently work with martial artists who want to improve their flexibility and movement; injured horse riders; people with neurological behavior patterns they would like to change; people with long term chronic pain; and people who have been referred to Feldenkrais by chiropractors and physiotherapists for help in changing habits that are hindering the healing process.
 
I teach children theatre skills, Aikido and Feldenkrais, and thoroughly enjoy seeing the huge difference Feldenkrais can make to a child's development and movement.
 
I am also involved in developing Feldenkrais classes for Training Corporate Solutions which, as the name suggests, runs training programmes for the corporate sector.
 
Biography:
I completed a performing arts degree before training and working as a journalist until I re-trained in comedy.
 
Feldenkrais is well known in physical theatre and I found it invaluable for improving my skills and avoiding injury in a very physically demanding working life of performing to a wide variety of audiences and teaching children.
 
After 10 years I finally decided to become a Feldenkrais practitioner and, in my first year of training, was introduced to Aikido — which in turn has become a passion. The Feldenkrais method and Aikido share basic principles that good technique is more effective than strength and that awareness is one of the keys to leading a full and healthy life.
