Personal Details

I'm committed to life long learning, and whole hearted living, and enjoy teaching Nonviolent Communication as well as Feldenkrais. My own problems with neck and spinal tension, and performance anxiety are what led me to discover Feldenkrais as a way of unfreezing my body, moving more easily, and being more comfortable in the world. My clients so far have ranged from teenagers to nonagenarians. A specialist area of my practice is Feldenkrais for voice, anxiety reduction, emotional regulation, effective communication, and for performance - especially for singers, speakers and instrumental musicians. I have taught workshops for private music teachers and their students, for local orchestras, for the University of Canterbury, and Institute of Registered Music Teachers. My background is in performance in opera, plays and musical theatre. I have taught singing for 35 years and taught Movement for Performance at National Academy of Singing and Dramatic Art for 12 years. I enjoy working with musicians and their instruments/voices for lessons to apply Feldenkrais to their musical performance. I work in person and online (zoom) for personalised Awareness Through Movement and also teach face to face in Christchurch. I invite you to phone me for a 15 min complimentary consultation to see if we're a fit for working together. I also work as a Coach for Wellbeing and Empowerment, and am a Certified Trainer of Nonviolent Communication. I also offer online and face to face "Listening and Speaking with Heart: Connection begins with me" trainings. If you want support to thrive, or to thrive in connection with others, I invite you to a complementary 30 minute consult through my website www.bodyvoicealive.nz
