How long is a ball of string?

Is the correct answer to how many lessons do I need.  Some pupils come for 5 sessions and have got what they came for, most take between 20-30 lessons, while others make the Alexander Technique their 'way of life', taking occasional lessons to develop their use of the A.T. through the years.  

I have a medical condition.  Is it ok to take Alexander lessons?

Yes.   Always check with your doctor or relevant health professional  if you have any concerns before or during a course of Alexander Technique lessons.

The Technique is EDUCATIONAL and can be practiced in tandem with treatment regimes. 

What should I wear?

Comfortable clothes, trousers preferable to a skirt. 

What are your qualifications?

I was trained, qualified by and am a member of STAT, the Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique. STAT is the oldest professional association for A.T. Teachers in the UK. As a registered member I abide by the code of conduct and undertake continuing professional development (CPD).

I hold insurance through STAT, and have enhanced DBS certificates.

In 2014 I passed the ITLLS course (Intro to teaching in the lifelong learning sector) at Wolverhampton University.  During 2020-21 I undertook  a PGCE to extend my teaching skills, and have been awarded a degree in post-compulsory education and training from Birmingham City University.  

In 2015 I successfully completed 'The Performing Self': a 10 week course for Alexander teachers working with music, dance and theatre students run by Rose Bruford College.

I hold a BA degree in English Language and Literature from Durham University, and an MA from Clark (USA).
