I am a teacher of the Alexander Technique and offer individual lessons and introductory group workshops. I have been an Alexander Teacher since 1998 and am a registered member of the Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique (STAT).
The Alexander Technique is a skill for life; it gives you a fresh look at the way you think and move. The Technique teaches you to recognise and consciously change long-standing habits, leading to improved balance, posture and freedom of movement, at the same time fostering a sense of well-being.
The Alexander Technique is educational and you learn it for yourself. Any activity can be enhanced by applying the Technique and anyone of any age can benefit from having lessons with a qualified Alexander Teacher.
My teaching studio is in Fulham, South West London, off the King’s Road and just a five-minute walk from Fulham Broadway underground station. With easy transport connections, pupils come to me from central London, as well as the surrounding areas of Chelsea, Kensington, Hammersmith, Putney, Wimbledon and Wandsworth.

The studio is light, calm and relaxing, with windows overlooking the garden.
My breathing, posture and quality of sleep has improved, as well as my singing and yoga. I am better able to cope with work related stress. Jackie is passionate about the Technique, and genuinely cares for her students.
Alexander lessons have made an impact on my back pain and the way I live my life. I now understand the concept of slowing down, stopping and thinking things through. I’m much more comfortable in my own skin and that feels absolutely fantastic!
Alexander lessons help me cope with the emotional and physical demands of being a nurse; I am calmer and less exhausted after shifts. The Technique has improved my confidence and sense of well-being; I leave lessons feeling calm but energised.
Jackie’s teaching of the Alexander Technique has helped me extensively, to bring physical and mental balance to all aspects of my life… I now feel liberated from the problems I once thought impossible to change.
I no longer suffer neck or shoulder pains, which were persistent problems. The Alexander Technique has dramatically improved my posture and has led me to a more confident manner professionally and socially. Jackie immediately put me at ease.
I decided to take Alexander lessons when I had been diagnosed with arthritis in my neck. Jackie was recommended by a friend and I have been taking lessons for the last eighteen months… my posture has totally altered and I am no longer in pain.
Having suffered with back pain and bad posture for years due to scoliosis, a specialist recommended the Alexander Technique. After a few lessons, my pain eased, and has now disappeared. My posture continues to improve and I am becoming more upright.
By applying the Technique to running, I can now adopt a more upright position, giving me flexibility in my knees and lightness in my step. In lessons I have learned to move more freely, and I even improved my time from last year’s London Marathon.
My posture has improved so much that even my busy office colleagues have noticed. I look forward to every lesson with Jackie, and each time I discover something new. I walk home after my lessons feeling uplifted.
