About

I work with people who know something is holding them back, and know the answer isn't going to be found outside themselves.

They've usually been doing it their way for a long time, and it's worked… until it hasn't. High functioning, often very successful, but inwardly aware that something is off. The default is to push through, keep trying to fix it, stay busy- and disconnect. Which works, until it starts to cost more than it's worth.

Who I Am

I've been noticing patterns since I was young. A technical insight on a tennis court that suddenly connected to everything else. A cascade, a shift in the whole picture.

I've spent my life in fields where that kind of seeing turns out to matter. Elite sport. Trauma. Brain injury. Neurodiversity. How children actually learn. They look unrelated from the outside. From the inside, it's the same pattern in different contexts.

Tennis

Nearly 30 years at the top level of tennis. I trained to play professionally myself and spent years working with players on movement and mechanics- the details that performance at that level depends on.

I work with Pat Cash, and have worked with Greg Rusedski and Mike Bryan. For a long time I worked with video analysis, angles, biomechanics. All of it useful, up to a point. But matching yourself to an outer image has a ceiling. What changed everything was moving from the outer image to the inner experience of movement.

With some of those players, including Pat, the Feldenkrais work ran alongside for years. It wasn't a before and after. It became the same conversation.

Children

My work with children began personally. My baby nephew had a brain injury while I was in the middle of my Feldenkrais training. Working with him became one of the most formative experiences of my life.

I went on to train in the Jeremy Krauss Approach - a method developed specifically for children with neurological differences, rooted in Feldenkrais principles. That training, and the children I've worked with since, has shaped everything else I do.

When development gets interrupted, the missing pieces can prevent a child from taking the next step. Filling those in doesn't correct anything - it allows learning to happen again. The child puts the pieces together themselves.

Trauma & the Body

Trauma isn't a category of person. It's part of being human - the micro-traumas of education and upbringing, the larger ones from accidents, loss, complex PTSD. Most people are unaware of the impact it has on their body patterns, movement patterns, thinking, emotions. How it connects to that flare-up in a relationship, or snapping at the kids.

The patterns are stored in the body. You begin to function differently, not because you've added something, but because what was running in the background has become unnecessary.

Where to find me

I live in South-West Hertfordshire, just outside London. I work locally and internationally, in person and on Zoom, with private clients and groups. If something on this page has named something you recognise, I'd love to hear from you. There's also a FAQs if you have questions before you do.
