Tanya Shoop

I have a calm, kind and welcoming manner and I’m a good listener.

Caring passionately about what I can offer and how I can help people, I strongly believe that we don’t have to live with chronic pain and that ageing doesn’t have to be a downhill process. My approach is practical and creative, supported by strong technical knowledge.

Appreciating that everyone is different, and their situation unique, I’m flexible in adapting my practice to suit each client’s needs, working in partnership with them to build their confidence and skills to help themselves long term.

It’s incredibly rewarding watching people make real progress and seeing their quality of life improve.

Some of my clients have been astounded by the dramatic change they’ve experienced in just a few weeks, having previously suffered chronic pain for years.

I trained under Walter and Dilys Carrington, who had personally worked alongside the founder of the Alexander Technique, FM Alexander.

After my initial training, for several years I taught anatomy classes at The Constructive Teaching Centre and I have regularly continued to invest in my training and knowledge with specialist Alexander Technique courses including:

Modern Pain Science & the Alexander Technique
DSE ergonomic assessments
Joint Hypermobility Syndrome (HMS)
Parkinsons’
Running techniques
Pregnancy and preparation for birth

I offer free 15 minute online consultations to answer any queries about the Technique and lessons in it.
