EXPERIENCE

My background is in Dance – mainly Contemporary Dance, Release Work and Contact Improvisation.  I have explored various mind-body approaches, specialising in the Feldenkrais Method, in which I qualified as a practitioner in 2002.  During 13 years living in London I worked as a freelance dance and movement teacher in community settings, Adult and Higher Education.  I moved to Moray in 2005.  I run classes and workshops as well as working with people individually.

SPECIFIC EMPHASIS 

I work with people to identify limiting movement habits and to explore options for greater freedom, ease and joy in movement and life. 

Initially I work hands-on to help the client have a more full sensory picture of themself. I then guide the client through slow, gentle movement sequences in order to help them discover greater comfort and ease in their movement. My aim is to engage the client in a process of learning and discovery for themselves. This approach is particularly useful for people with back pain, joint stiffness or other movement limitations.
