My work is rooted in a deep interest in how we move, think, feel and make meaning in our lives. I aim to offer both support and practical skills that people can bring into their daily lives, helping them reconnect with themselves through awareness, creativity and meaningful change.

​

I first came to the Alexander Technique seeking relief from anxiety and physical tension. I didn’t know what to expect, but I left those early lessons feeling calmer and more grounded. That experience stayed with me, and after some years of having regular lessons, I decided to train as a teacher.​ I offer one-to-one lessons and small group workshops in the West End of Glasgow and elsewhere, and teach the Alexander Technique at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

​

Learning more about my emotions through reading Karla McLaren’s book 'The Language of Emotions: What Your Feelings Are Trying to Tell You', inspired me to join her training in Dynamic Emotional Integration® (DEI), and become a licensed DEI trainer and consultant. During my training I developed a creative and experiential approach to this work using simple art and mark-making practices which I call 'Art and Emotions'. For me learning to acknowledge and feel my  emotions has been an important part of becoming more in tune with myself.  

​

Yoga has long been a part of my life. My first teacher was Ernest Coates who gave me a foundational training in classical yoga practices, which I still draw on today.  Later I became interested in the work of Vanda Scaravelli and was fortunate to study with Sophy Hoare who was a direct student of Vanda's. 

​

I welcome people from all walks of life and aim to create a space where each person feels met and supported. I value the richness that diverse ways of experiencing the world bring to this work.
