I am originally from London, UK, where during the day I taught Mathematics (BEd) in secondary schools and at night performed as a guitarist in several bands. It seemed that I wasn't coping with the demands and stresses of my lifestyle and found that gradually over time, I had started to develop nagging pains around my shoulder and neck. Eventually, this developed into a chronic form of RSI and I was forced to stop my music endeavours whilst seeking treatment.

I was very frustrated about not being able to play music and began investigating several therapies and modalities to help with my rehabilitation. Whilst on this search, I came across The Alexander Technique. It immediately resonated with me, with its emphasis on developing self-care and awareness, as well as its success in helping RSI sufferers and performing musicians.

After several lessons I experienced a substantial reduction in my pain, as well as a new sense of ease in my body. On top of this, I noticed a general clarity in my thoughts as well as a mental calmness developing in my daily activities. I was able to return to my passion of music and found a significant improvement in my music skills, which I attribute to my lessons with The Alexander Technique.

After studying music performance and voice at college, I trained to be an Alexander Technique teacher at the School for FM Alexander Studies with David Moore. I am a member of the Australian Society for the Alexander Technique (AUSTAT).
