In group classes my we move in order to discover more about ourselves and our habits, and how we can become more aware of the habits that hold us back. I lead you through a series of movements, for this laboratory of the self to help you find easier ways to move.

By becoming more aware of what we are actually doing (rather than what we think we are doing), our brain makes new neural connections, and we can find new, easier ways of moving. This improved kinaesthetic skill allows us to move in a way that causes less pain, feel better, and have greater efficiency of both movement and thought.

Each step brings us closer to our potential.

Classes are at 7pm Sundays, 10 am Mondays, 7pm Wednesdays, 8pm Thursdays (UK time)

Many of my clients are currently shielding, or want to work with me, but don’t live near enough to come to me in person.
I offer online individual sessions, where we work together to help you work out movement patterns that are holding you back, or causing you pain.
For more information, get in touch.

Individual lessons are able to focus on your specific needs.
Starting from where you are, I use my expertise help you learn which movement habits are holding you back, how to let go of patterns which are unconstructive, and build new ones in their place.

Sessions last an hour. Please wear warm, loose clothes that allows easy movement.

Available both on and off line. Contact me for more details.

This last few years, I have been working with a few people individually thinking about RSI, and other injuries and wanted to share a little of my thinking around this.

Often we put too much effort into the task we’re doing, rather than thinking about how…

Now that Spring is here, why not shake out the blankets of your habit cupboard!

We all have habits, they allow us to make short-cuts- to put your clothes on without thinking, or whilst thinking about something, to doing two things at once, drive whilst t…

Whilst my concert dress has stayed sadly in its wardrobe other than a brief outing in April, I did have one trip of fascination. Just before this second Lockdown I was invited to Sandhurst to teach some Feldenkrais to the British Army, to their Brass Band…

This post will have extra resonance if you’re a singer, musician or performer, but we all use our arms, hand and fingers, so also relevant to all of us!

When we play or sing, one’s fingers and the instrument, the notes, the sound all come into the foregr…

In these past few months, many of us have been spending a lot more time in front of our computer screens: whether conference calling for business or pleasure, teaching on screen, or spending more leisure time inside our four walls.

Much of Feldenkrais’s thinking was that if we change the way people move, we also change the way that they think. And that’s very much part of the process when we start to work with Feldenkrais.

Many of our habits are learnt via a reward-based process, o…
