Welcome

Do you experience back or neck pain, stress, tension, poor posture, breathing difficulties, or fatigue?
Are you looking to improve your performance as a musician, actor, athlete, or speaker?

The Alexander Technique can help.

It’s a gentle, practical approach that helps you become more aware of how you move, breathe, and respond to everyday life. People often come for relief from pain or stress, but stay because of the deep and lasting benefits they discover—greater ease, confidence, and freedom in everything they do.

In fact, the Alexander Technique might just be one of the most useful things you ever learn.

You can learn more about the technique here and a bit about me—or if you’d prefer to talk it through, feel free to get in touch or book here

Warmest wishes,
Phil

I was fortunate to seek help from Philipa during ‘lockdown’ .

I have struggled with long term joint issues related to a childhood hip problem. This caused a difference in leg length and a pronounced limp. As a result of coping with this for many years I developed an on going back issue and also had a hip replacement in 2007. I now have a touch of arthritis in the opposite knee. To add to all this I have a rotator cuff and neck problem (work related).

I had read about the Alexander technique and felt that improving my posture would help. I had several sessions with Philipa via Zoom and found them extremely useful. Philipa has a very calm and understanding approach. I realised that the Alexander technique is not just about posture but also improving the way we move. I haven’t needed any more sessions but I continue to remind myself how to move and hold myself, especially when the odd ‘niggle’ creeps back!!

I would definitely recommend Philipa to anyone who has musculoskeletal problems, her methods are very straightforward and easy to put into everyday practice. Our poor posture and the way we hold ourselves is the root of a lot of peoples ailments (not just joint issues)

Try it and see the improvement!

“I have had many Alexander Lessons from many AT teachers. Phil is one of the most intuitive, gifted and helpful teachers I have come across. She has a straight forward approach that is very refreshing. Her ability to communicate the principles of the technique is clear and easy to understand. Phil lessons have given me great direction with a chronic digestive problem and I am feeling much better as a result.

Thank you Phil and I know your work will relieve many people of stress, pain and tension.”
