Whatever you weigh

If you have any pressure on your joints then you are creating a downward pull to the Earth.

if you come across a teacher of the Alexander Technique, ask them to grab a chair and show you whilst standing and sitting how to drop your weight to the Earth to allow the wonderful upthrust of release of pressure that accompanies an Alexander experience.

Your body is gently bought into an improved balance which allows this to happen.

The Alexander Way/Problems with Stress and Tension

Us humans have a problem: How can we stay balanced on two feet without getting tense? Without pulling back our shoulders and bracing our knees?
We have a fundamental requirement to achieve balance, yet the cost can be high in wear and tear on body parts and excess muscle tension.
This is where The Alexander Technique comes in, rebalancing overall muscle tone to dynamically support the skeleton, reducing stress on all the joints, big and small, and freeing up the ribcage.

My own path to holistic healing began in my 30s, rooted in a career as a bespoke furniture maker that left me with chronic back pain. Despite exploring numerous avenues – Yoga, Tai Chi, osteopathy, cranial-sacral therapy, swimming, massages, and even saunas and steam baths – relief seemed elusive. That was until I encountered Briar Maxwell, an Alexander Technique transformational healer. This pivotal meeting not only alleviated my pain but also unveiled a profound truth: our bodies possess an incredible capacity for self-healing, given the right conditions and care.

This revelation ignited a passion within me. After experiencing the transformative power of the Alexander Technique firsthand, I was inspired to delve deeper. I embarked on an intensive journey to master this technique, along with other complementary modalities, to offer a comprehensive approach to healing.

Over the past 21 years, I've been privileged to guide numerous individuals towards overcoming muscle, joint, ligament, and structural imbalances. My approach, honed by personal experience and professional training, is centred around empowering each individual to understand and harness their body’s natural healing potential.

Each session is a step towards a pain-free, more mobile life. It's not just about alleviating symptoms but about fostering a deeper connection with one's body. Through a blend of personalized techniques and a nurturing environment, I help my clients unlock their healing capabilities.

If you're seeking a path away from pain and towards holistic wellness, I invite you to reach out. Let's embark on this healing journey together.
