Practice:

I work with a wide range of people from yoga teachers, G.Ps and psychotherapists to skiers, snowboarders, horse riders, surfers and many others who are looking for solutions to pain and ways to find more skilful movement.

Biography:

I discovered Feldenkrais when I was looking for a way through back-pain after suffering a serious riding accident in my teens. I had tried everything; chiropractic, massage, cranio-sacral therapy, osteopathy, many of which were helpful but only for a short time. I have to admit I was a little sceptical of Feldenkrais at first -what did this have to offer me that was different? – But I felt the most tremendous shift after attending my first class.

After just a few months of going to Feldenkrais weekly and some one-to-one lessons I was in a very different space. I was able to sit and study without pain, was riding and running again and importantly was beginning to feel empowered by discovering the tools to change my state myself.

The more I learnt about Feldenkrais, the more it chimed with me; a scientific method that encompassed the mental and emotional too, acknowledging the whole person. I continued as a student of Feldenkrais throughout my University years and as I lived and worked in London afterwards, enrolling on the Training in 2011.

I am continually fascinated, heartened and inspired by the work and look forward to sharing it with many people, in many situations in the coming months and years.
