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 in doing so, disconnecting. Staying in the head. Which works, until it starts to cost more than it's worth.

Tennis

I've spent nearly 20 years working with professional tennis players and elite athletes. I trained to play professionally myself and still work with pro players.

Pat Cash — 1987 Wimbledon Champion — has been part of my work for close to three decades. I worked with Greg Rusedski as part of his performance ‘dream team’ when he was British No.1. More recently I worked with Mike Bryan, then World No.1 Doubles Player.

I coached tennis for years specialising in technique and movement, particularly with players returning from injury or fine-tuning performance. Now I work primarily off-court — with movement patterns, using Feldenkrais — but that technical background gives me a perspective most practitioners don't have.

Children

I also work a lot with children with special needs… This came about when my baby nephew had a brain injury while I was in my feldenkrais training… I have written more about this in my blog- A Personal Story of Working with Children.  I did the JKA training after my feldenkrais training -  See my JKA page for more about my work with children.  Understanding development and the experiences I've had with incredible children influences all my work, even the work with athletes.  Filling in missing developmental gaps can make a huge impact on performance, whatever your age or abilities.

Re-Connection & the Body

I have an endless curiosity about people, and how we deal with the human experience.  I've worked a lot with trauma- my own and other people’s, as well as emotional and spiritual disconnection and how this manifests through the body.  It’s a question of embodiment.. I wrote about this at length in my blog The Myth of the Core Continues.  You'll find more background of my philosophy in this blog.. (The Myth of Core Stability is one of the themes I teach a lot- but it's so much more than just about training.)

Where to find me

I live just in Hertfordshire, just outside London, and I work locally and internationally, in person and on zoom, with private clients and groups.
