“I started having Alexander lessons due to severe pain and damage to my hands and forearms. I had just started a Masters in classical guitar performance and was practising for hours on end. I very quickly found myself in agony doing anything with my hands, even attempting to do the zip on my jacket. Playing guitar was practically impossible. My forearms and hands were like two excruciatingly painful blocks of lead attached at my elbows. Through Alexander lessons I learned to recognise my harmful habitual patterns and to move with less tension, not only while playing guitar but in my life generally. It took me longer than I had intended but I finally graduated from my masters with a distinction and now continue with my guitar career.
The Alexander Technique became such an important part of my life that I trained to become a teacher. I am dedicated to helping my students learn to apply the Alexander Technique to their own circumstances so that they can continue to help themselves.”
