I work with all kinds of people. Very often people come for individual sessions or to classes who have persistent aches or pain - sometimes recovering from injury. Some regular class participants want to maintain vitality as they age, others are living with chronic health conditions and appreciate the gentleness of the Method and the convenience of working online. Teachers of pilates or yoga often come to workshops to learn more about other approaches to movement. I also specialise in working with runners and people who would like to run.
My background is in dance. Having learned ballet from a young age, I trained in contemporary dance, going on to do BA (hons) Related Arts. Having completed an MA in Dance Studies at Surrey University I studied with many pioneering New Dance teachers in the '80s and '90s, specialising in Contact Improvisation, which I taught extensively in London in the 1990s. My interest in learning about various movement approaches also led me to study Body-Mind Centering and to practice Pilates and Gabrielle Roth's 5 Rhythms.
Following debilitating back pain in my 30s I had to stop dancing and discovered the Feldenkrais Method, enrolling on a professional training. Half way through my 4 year training my back pain disappeared and in time I found a way back to dancing.
Since graduating as a Feldenkrais practitioner in 2002 I taught in London and then North East Scotland where I continued my Feldenkrais practice until I came to Frome, Somerset in 2014. I teach weekly online Feldenkrais classes as well as in-person classes in Frome. I was an Associate Lecturer at Bath Spa University since 2015-2022, where I taught movement skills for BA Acting students.
In 2026 I completed a course of study with Jae Guenke, founder of the Balanced Runner and am certified to teach the Balanced Runner Foundation Programme.
