Alexander teaching
I began learning the Alexander technique twenty years ago, and have been teaching it since 1995 at Barn Hill Alexander. I also taught the technique at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office for ten years.
Training
I trained as a teacher with the late Walter Carrington, one of the first teachers trained by F.M. Alexander, and am a member of the Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique (STAT), the oldest and largest professional body of Alexander teachers worldwide. The Society was founded in 1958 to maintain and improve professional standards. Teaching members of the Society complete a three-year training course, are fully insured, and are bound by the Society's Code of Professional Conduct.
Other experience
I first came to London from Canada to do postgraduate work in literature at the University of London. After being awarded my PhD I worked for some years for the British Council, teaching English in the Sultanate of Oman, and later travelling to Algeria, Germany, Morocco, South Africa, Sudan and Tunisia. I enjoy gardening, music, films, theatre and teaching.
