Before becoming an Alexander Technique teacher, I worked as a nurse for 18 years, specialising first in intensive care and then in neurology & neurosurgery. However, this didn't help me to deal with my own chronic back pain when it began to seriously affect my daily activities. It was then that I began to look into the Alexander Technique and learn it for myself. As well as obtaining considerable relief from my back problem, I discovered many unexpected benefits, which have truly changed my life for the better. I find I can think more clearly, flexibly and reasonably. When difficulties do arise, I have some great tools to help me find my way through them more calmly and creatively. It's easier for me to learn new skills than it used to be and I can more readily adapt to changing situations. Instead of experiencing deterioration as I age, I am moving with greater efficiency and ease than I did 20 years ago. And perhaps best of all, I laugh a lot more!
