Mary Derbyshire, M.AmSAT

My first exposure to the Technique came when I was 20 years old, studying theatre in London. Self conscious and nervous, I often times felt un-coordinated and ill at ease. The Technique taught me how to be more confident and clear thinking.

While pursuing my acting career I began to experience acute neck and back pain. I returned to the Technique and immediately found relief. It was at this point that I decided to become a teacher.

That was nearly 20 years ago. Today I am married, with three children, two dogs, and a barn full of horses. I am an avid rider. I encourage all of my Alexander students to enjoy the serenity of Willow Farm.
