Curiousity lead me to the Feldenkrais Method…

I am now a certified and insured Feldenkrais practitioner and a member of the Feldenkrais Guild UK (currently the Chair of the Guild Committee).

I have a Feldenkrais practice in Sussex near Lewes, and am passionate about gardening, keeping bees & walking the Downs, hence my workshops for gardeners and walkers! I love working with anyone who is interested in learning about themselves and how to enhance their lives whatever their challenges might be.

As well as this I have coached performers at the National Opera Studio London, the Opera Academy Warsaw, Poland, The Valentine Voice Care, Lewes centre and Excellenz-Labor Oper in Germany.

My previous professional experience informs my creative approach to the Feldenkrais Method

Throughout all my work I have been excited by the hunger we all have for transformation and development throughout out lives.

My background is in opera and creative learning. I was a staff director at English National Opera for 12 years, where I co-founded and co-directed the Baylis Programme which is the Learning and Participation Department of the company. I later worked for Youth Music where I lead a research programme called Singing Communities and I was a Creative Agent for Creative Partnerships.

  • Royal Northern College of Music in the School of Vocal Studies

  • The Jette Parker Young Artists Programme

  • Royal Opera House London

  • The Grotowski Institute in Poland

  • Bordeaux National Opera

  • The Music Department, Royal Holloway, University of London
