I originally trained as a classical violinist at Trinity College of Music London, Brussels Conservatoire and briefly at Indiana University. I have a background in the Alexander Technique (since 1962) and qualified as a Trager Practitioner in 1997. I work from my home in Ninfield and at The Pinehurst Centre, St Leonards of Sea, East Sussex. I am also able to make home visits in East Sussex, West Kent and London.

Currently I am working with members of the public; musicians, singers and actors; business people and people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME).

Members of the public: Trager sessions are an amazing education in which you will learn how an open, free, vibrant body feels. Above all Trager can help you to release emotional legacies from the past, so you are fully present in the moment. As such it is particularly effective in releasing the aftermath of traumatic events in which you feel stuck; such as recovering from: difficult relationships, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, accidents, injuries and operations.

Musicians, Singers and Actors: Because of my background as a violinist, since 2000 I have been the Trager practitioner at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, where I specialize in releasing neuromuscular and psychophysical issues as well as developing confidence in performance and releasing the voice.

Business people: Many of the skills and approaches I have learnt at the Guildhall School are especially appropriate for business people, for whom a grounded, confident, open voice with ample projection and resonance can command attention and respect – what you say, of course, is up to you!

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME): In recent years I have been working with people affected by Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME). In my experience Trager is highly effective at gently releasing the symptoms so your energy levels naturally rise to what you require. As one client put it to me, there are three reasons why Trager is ideally suited to people with ME: the client can be passive, sessions are tailored to the client’s comfort level, and they are at the client’s pace.

Lastly, I am a Trager Introductory Workshop Leader and a Trager Tutor. If you would like any further information please phone me on the above number.

I look forward to hearing from you.
