Learn to be at ease in your body using the Alexander Technique

Embodied mindfulness is the state of being which allows space to think, move and live with freedom and ease. This conscious condition is created by learning a unique kind of awareness. Without awareness there is no conscious choice, mentally and physically all you’re then left with are habitual reactions. With awareness, there is a choice to respond from a clear and centred self.

This skilful way of being rarely comes naturally. However, we can learn techniques to help us become at ease in our bodies and fully present in each moment.

I use a combination of practices, primarily based on my 25 years experience of teaching the Alexander Technique – a truly embodied mindful practice.

I teach one-to-one and classes, online and from my home near Launceston, Cornwall. Find out more here

Constructive Rest – FREE

Every Month - Online

Constructive Rest is one of the most supportive practices you can add to your everyday life. It’s a designated time that gives you permission to focus on yourself and practice the all important directed thinking.

The sessions are about half an hour. They're recorded, edited and then shared in the Constructive Rest Club Facebook group. You're welcome to join in with your video off, but I will need to know that you're ok at the end of the session, so a virtual wave or comment in the chat is ideal.

Sign up to the FREE monthly online Constructive Rest sessions here and get the self-care skill that everybody is talking about!

You may like to join my Facebook group Constructive Rest Club It's a closed group, which makes it ideal for sharing ideas and observations on your home practice with other like minded Alexander Technique fans.

Pain Management

"I have lived with rheumatoid arthritis for over 40 years and my general posture has suffered as a result. Since becoming one of Gemma's clients I have taken back some measure of control over my body and I'm now able to stand, sit, walk and control pain in a much more satisfactory way than heretofore. I would warmly recommend the Alexander Technique as a good investment for present and future mobility." - Allan T.

"I didn’t say a proper thank you on Monday for giving me the means to get rid of all the niggly spine problems and to improve my posture beyond recognition, despite having my arms pulled out of my sockets by Molly (the puppy). It has really made a difference as I can recognise now when I need to take a step back and breathe and widen!" - Helene J.

“I first met Gemma after years of physiotherapy, sports massage and Osteopathy. None of these things had any significant impact on my injury and I was considering stopping performing as a professional cellist. After 10 sessions and carrying her advice into my daily life, I perform free of pain the vast majority of the time. Her gentle persuasion, knowledge of how the human body and brain interact and her professionalism are all truly exceptional.” - Jonny H-B.
