Alexander Technique with Andrea Walsh

I have suffered with bad migraines ever since i had viral meningitis as a young adult. I have been on numerous tablets. Now mingled with bad posture and a lot of tension the migraines have been getting more regular and i was suffering with headaches twice a week. I was at my wits end, it was really getting to me as well as being a huge worry to me as hard to parent 2 young children with such awful headaches. I started Alexander Technique with Andrea in January. She was so welcoming, friendly, caring and so knowledgeable. She put me immediately at ease. I found it so interesting how my body should work and fascinating to find out bad habits i had got into. The new strategies she has given me and the techniques that i now put into my daily life have made such a huge difference. I can see my posture improving, she has noticed a slightly swayed pelvis which no other professional has over the years and the best bit? I currently am now only getting headaches once a fortnight, wow. I am confident with more time and more sessions this will decrease further. I know i am prone to suffering with migraines but to be able to eradicate the tension and poor postures migraines will be amazing!!! Since Lockdown i have had a couple of online sessions with Andrea. These have been great also, fab to touch base, reinforce practise and to keep up the good work, as obviously lockdown with 2 children can be busy! I cant thank Andrea enough, Alexander Technique has made such a positive impact on my body, my mind and the lives of my family who dont have to be abandoned fairly regularly as I go off to bed to sleep off a bad head! THANK YOU ANDREA!

I cannot recommend Andrea enough. Not only is she extremely knowledgable about the Alexander Technique but she also has the ability to teach and explain it so well. Chris H

I have had a number of Alexander Technique lessons with Andrea. She explains the technique very clearly, and with obvious enthusiasm about the benefits it can bring. Her teaching style is relaxed, with just the right amount of humour to ensure that there is no self consciousness. She has a lovely private and peaceful teaching space. During the lockdown, I've also done some on-line Zoom sessions. Of course they are not as good as being in the same room, but much better than nothing and carried out with the same degree of professionalism. I'd definitely recommend Andrea for people new to the Alexander Technique and for those with some knowledge wishing to take it further.

A GAME-CHANGER After years of seeing a great osteopath and also having sports therapy massage for upper back and neck problems, I still needed to go for top-up treatment every 8-10 weeks to avoid migraines. I decided to try the Alexander Technique with Andrea, and I'm so glad I did! It's made a huge difference for me and I haven't returned to the osteopath for over a year now. Andrea is knowledgeable, friendly and immediately puts you at ease. She explains everything so clearly and is patient when she has to repeat things :) The Alexander Technique has made me more aware of my posture and bad habits, and has given me the ability to implement small positive changes in my daily life. Due to the Covid situation, I was sceptical moving to online appointments but they have worked well and still made a big difference. I can't recommend Andrea highly enough. Thank you!
