Poised For Life

Are you looking for help with any of the problems listed in 2) below? Do you feel motivated to learn how to help yourself? Are you up for paying more attention to how you do things in your daily life? Are you wanting a gentle, compassionate approach that still offers challenge and alternatives to your daily habits?

If you answer yes to all of the above then I would predict that the technique could be of great help and benefit to you. Click here to enquire further or to book an introductory lesson with me.

If you answer 'no' to the first question and yes to the rest then you could still benefit by learning this technique to develop your consciousness and as a preventative measure to avoid some of the problems so many people face as they grow older - and, you may not have the motivation right now. That's OK! Feel free to contact me to discuss further.

If you said yes to the first question but no to any of the rest then you may want to ask yourself why not? If this is to do with depression and/or extreme tiredness or lethargy, do consider first getting support from a doctor and/or an appropriate practitioner.

"For eight years I had constant back pain of varying degrees due to spinal disc problems and narrowing of the spinal canal. I had deteriorated so much that I could only walk short distances with a stick.. I had also lost all my confidence. None of the treatments through orthodox channels helped in any way.
I do not remember what led me to the Alexander Technique but I knew from the very first lesson with Penny that this was a worthwhile technique to pursue. In a short time I began to notice some changes such as less pain and the big breakthrough came in a few months. As I reached for my stick I suddenly realised that I did not need it. I just could not believe it.
It is now nine months since that day and I have maintained a gradual improvement. I have times of being pain free and I no longer require pain killers. I am convinced that if I had not discovered the Alexander Technique I would probably now be housebound."
