Across sports, performance and academia, I had excelled. But I always felt I was working harder than I needed to. The more I achieved, the more it cost me. There had to be another way.
I came across this work at university in 2008. I did not know what to make of it at first. But I quickly noticed a growing spaciousness, in how I moved and in my thinking. I could not fully explain what was happening, but I could not deny that something was changing.
The changes went further than I expected. I had always believed I had two left feet. Suddenly, it became easy to learn new dance steps. In my improv performances, I was more present to the other performers and the audience. In advising executives in high-pressure environments, I found I could remain calm in ways that surprised me. The work kept opening out.
I began the four year training course with the Interactive Teaching Method (ITM) in 2012. I had gained so much that I wanted to see how far the benefits could go. I soon found I wanted to share this work with others.
My background in coaching and contemplative practices informs how I teach. It helps me bring a greater sensitivity to what is going on for the person in front of me.
