Alexander Technique
I trained as an Alexander Technique teacher from 2012 - 2016 with Don Weed, founder of the Interactive Training Method Association, and since qualifying I have taught people of all ages from many different walks of life.
I currently offer Alexander Technique lessons and group workshops in the West End of Glasgow.
I also teach the Alexander Technique teacher at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and Goldsmiths College in London where I work with students studying a variety of performing arts.
Visual Art
My background is in visual art. I studied drawing and painting at Edinburgh College of art (1980 - 1984) and post-graduate studies at Byam Shaw School of Art in London (1986-1987), and for many years I have worked as a professional artist exhibiting my paintings.

Yoga
I have long been interested in integrative practices and have practiced yoga for many years, studying with various teachers in different schools of yoga. I am a qualified Yoga teacher (certified with Yoga Alliance certified with C.Y.S. in 2006). Although I no longer teach regular on-going classes, I offer one to one and small group lessons.
My knowledge of Alexander's work has influenced the way I practice and teach yoga; focusing on finding ways of moving more intelligently in order to enjoy more ease, freedom, and rejuvenation in one's practise.
Working with Emotions
In recent years I wanted to learn more about my emotions and I came across the work of Karla McLaren M.Ed. when I read her book "The Language of Emotions - What Your Emotions Are Trying To Tell You', and I decided to learn more and study Dynamic Emotional Integration® (DEI) with Karla Mclaren on her online training course (2018 - 2020) and becoming a licensed Dynamic Emotional Integration® trainer and consultant.
I currently teach online courses and workshops on Empathy Academy that use simple art and mark-making practices as a unique ways to access, understand, and work with your feelings and emotions. For more information about online courses at Karla McLaren's Empathy Academy ; go to www.empathyacademy.org
I also offer individual sessions for people who would like to learn more about their emotions and how to work with them rather than for or against them.
