“My main aim in teaching is to inspire others to explore, apply and enjoy their full potential.

I feel passionately about the Technique because it has made such a dramatic impact on my own life. I want the Technique to be practical and available for all who are interested in it.

I enjoy the experimental process of teaching the Technique. I am honoured when students come to me and are willing to have me share the exploration of their ways of being.

Having had many experiences myself of pain, breakthrough, artistic frustration, relief and joy I feel I have much to offer the student.

I believe lessons should be highly interactive. The very nature of the technique demands this. So I like to engage my student both physically and intellectually. I am fascinated to know how students relate to the technique, so communication is very important to me.

Every individual learns differently. Having studied musical improvisation, I feel confident in adapting learning situations to the individual. Yet planning is also an essential part of teaching, to ensure a structured, yet flexible approach.

 

When the student leaves a lesson in an improved state of co-ordination, or has made a discovery, I consider the lesson may have been successful. When the
student returns and has more discoveries of their own to share, then I know it was!”
