Success Stories
“Martin has been foundational to the treatment of my ongoing chronic pain. Plain and simple, I would not be able to maintain the business schedule I do without it.
I’m getting to know the big impact of small movements in posture and alignment. I’m respecting my body more, I’ve invested in it, including in better desk equipment. After a few sessions, I’m in less pain and can work for longer at my laptop.”
Jonny Elliott, Consultant, ex Salesforce
“Martin’s calm, caring, non-judgemental yet consistently encouraging manner coupled with his knowledge of Alexander Technique ensured that my health steadily improved and my neck pain disappeared.
Martin’s problem-solving approach, exercises and accountability to do regular practice helped me to break old habits, improve my posture and get out of pain.”
Kate Nobles, Teacher
“I've done meditation, martial arts, yoga, physiotherapy, and pilates before, but Alexander Technique with Martin stands out.
It's like a moving meditation, a whole different way of thinking about how I move. I'd recommend it to anyone dealing with posture or pain issues, especially those who rush a lot. It's changed the way I move, relieving pain and stress on my back.
It's a unique approach that not only helps with physical discomfort but also encourages a more mindful way of moving through the world. If you're always rushing, overwhelmed, and it’s taking a toll on your body, give this a try.”
Gary Johnstone, Director and Producer
“Before working with Martin, I had a vague notion that psychological and emotional stress might be connected to physical symptoms, but I didn't take it that seriously. Martin guided me to a deeper understanding and has fundamentally shifted my attitude to myself.
Previously, I would unknowingly accumulate stress, only realising it when the pain set in. Now, thanks to the techniques learned, I'm attuned to my body. I can catch myself tensing up, and in that awareness, I feel the immediate release in my neck. It's been a transformative journey, making me more proactive in managing stress and significantly improving my well-being.”
Cat Stevens, Lawyer
“I was pleasantly surprised by the fusion as I see it, of mindfulness, body awareness, and the practicalities of daily life. Martin’s version of the Alexander Technique, with a more static meditation practice, a life coaching practice (exploring what people enjoy, what brings them flow states, what fulfills them) and a general health coaching practice (exercise, sleep, etc) is a great programme for those with chronic debilitating pain, for which the standard medical model doesn’t work.
The most useful aspect was the overarching sense of becoming more space and body-aware, akin to mindfulness in action. I think what I enjoyed most was being able to slow down and bring conscious awareness to fairly ordinary quotidian body movements. It felt relaxing and I felt lighter and more at ease both during sessions and afterwards. In the days afterwards I’d be more aware of my posture and presence in space, and would feel more inclined to ‘check in’ with my body.”
