Practice:
My practice at the Haelan Centre (classes, workshops and individual sessions) is getting busy and I am thinking of opening a new daytime class in a Fitness Centre context too. My current practice is very diverse, I have been working with runners and fitness instructors, performers and movement directors as well as those in many walks of life who wish to find a way out of RSI, ME, migraine, and strains or pain of all sorts. Some wish to deepen their own awareness practices or explore the somatic aspects of emotional issues. I also work in theatre and drama school contexts — and I very much welcome opportunities for new experiences too.
 
Biography:
I first found out about the Feldenkrais Method when I was 17 on a drama training in Paris. The movement teacher had known Moshe Feldenkrais himself and her teaching was extremely closely related. I had been a fairly sporty kid but I will never forget the experience. It was like being plugged in: I could really feel what I was doing for what seemed like the first time. And I discovered the pleasure in moving doing the simplest things — and just for its own sake. I stayed in touch with the method on and off after that and it never left me. It just seemed to inform everything I did. Then some twenty years of University, performing, theatre-making, movement directing and one child later (plus a side-interest in psychotherapy) I found myself wanting to do the full Feldenkrais training. I originally thought of it as a tool for the movement work I was doing with other actors in the theatre, but I rapidly found it opened up a much wider and very interesting world to explore and engage in too.
