I had my first Alexander Lesson in my mid-twenties, because of experiencing constant aches and pains two years after a shoulder operation for reoccurring dislocations from a skiing accident. All my attempts at finding a solution, which included running and other sporty activities, only resulted in aggravating the situation and within a short time, I was also in pain during the night and at rest.
I was fortunate enough to catch the last 20 minutes of a Channel 4 Documentary about FM Alexander's scientific discoveries. I immediately realised that the cause of my pain was my habitual way of moving and how I held myself. I found a teacher the next day and have never looked back. Becoming pain free within a short time made me a dedicated student and eventually a passionate teacher.
Experiencing no pain whilst performing all my daily activities, from heavy lifting to sitting for hours at a computer was life-changing. I started to experience not only physical, but also deep emotional well-being, that I lost during my development from childhood into adulthood. I still today feel privileged to have found AT, as I now can enjoy ageing gracefully and without aches and pains.
I provide private lessons, run courses, and give regular public talks to share my knowledge and understanding of FM Alexander’s scientific discoveries. He was one of the great modern pioneers who discovered and understood the importance of psycho-physical unity and wellbeing.
