The Alexander Technique
The Alexander Technique is a self-help method which can help you rid yourself of niggling neck, shoulder or back pain, RSI and any muscular tension or stiffness that you may habitually hold.
I enjoy working with people who want to find out more about themselves to help them overcome pain or stiffness. People who are interested in finding out more about the way they move and the way they react to stressful situations, and how that can show up in the body as stiffness or pain. Learning the principles of the Alexander Technique enables you to bring your habitual reactions and movements into conscious control. Once you are aware of these habits, you have the power to change them. Alexander Technique lessons help you gain control of your reactions and find balance and poise in your life. I work mainly in Kendal at the Kendal Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Centre, around Cumbria, and visit Benderloch near Oban, and near Barnard Castle in County Durham.
I work with horses using the Tellington TTouch Equine Awareness Method (TTEAM). This is a gentle way of working with horses to help them increase their flexibility, balance and coordination, learn new, calmer ways of behaving and just help with general health and wellbeing. It works by using respect and setting boundaries without dominance or force. TTEAM works because the approach is to find the cause of a problem, rather than just treating the symptoms, the reasoning being that naughtly or difficult behaviour stems from pain, fear or lack of understanding. I work anywhere in Cumbria, Lancashire, the western Scottish Borders and into North Yorkshire. I will travel further if required.
Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a questionnaire which helps you learn more about yourself, your relationships with other people and how you relate to the world. Finding out about your MBTI type gives you an opportunity to break free from your behavioural habits, break out of the mould that you have been living in and give yourself choices. It is about taking responsibility for who you are and gaining control, awareness and balance in your life. Feedback on your MBTI type can help you make informed career decisions and improve your relationships with other people, as well as finding out more about how you tick. Feedback sessions take place in Kendal or at your home anywhere in Cumbria, Lancashire, North Yorkshire or the western Scottish Borders.
