"My experience with Helen Cameron's Alexander Technique workshops increased my awareness and ability to control the use of my body. Now I get more work done without the liability of pain or injury. I don't have any more stiff back or pain, especially in my lower back where I used to have trouble.
​
Before having these lessons I compare it to driving a car where for some they don't notice potholes and drive right into them, or don't see ahead enough to predict possible slowed traffic conditions or what other cars are doing around them but after being "Alexed" you are back as the driver of your own body because you are more aware of your body as it does things and also more aware of what's happening around you.
After Helen gave me the gift of the Alexander Technique life for me smoothed out.
​
As an electrician I often attach heavy light fittings or move heavy equipment, work in awkward positions to join or pull cables and crawl into tight spaces like under houses or into roofs. I now do my work applying what Helen taught me.
​
I don't have attention on it as it is a part of me now. I am happier about the condition of my body and better now than I was by a long way.
​
Alexander was smart to figure this out and Helen made it really simple to understand. I strongly recommend doing it but don't wait, do it now, your body will thank you."

"I had Fibromyalgia back in 2021 and though my recovery was a combination of many things the instruction provided by Helen on posture has had ongoing benefits.
For example: My knees were a significant source of pain and though sleep was no longer interrupted, nevertheless when rising from a chair I would feel it – uncomfortable and awkward. In one session Helen corrected my posture and I have never had an issue since. The technique is now instinctive so the correction is complete and I never even think about it when standing up. Practice is all that is needed!
Since then, Helen has provided instructions on many other aspects like pelvic floor muscles which woman having given birth need to provide some TLC too!
Your head weighs a significant amount and in my case, 6 Kilos. If you do not know how to move your body well, you put significant strain on the body in parts that are not designed to take the weight.Highly recommend it!"

"This workshop has been quite life changing. I'm now more aware of bad habits developed through many years and how my posture was quite sloppy and collapsed. I now refer back to the class and the techniques to correct myself when I notice old habits.
This is improving my way of moving but also, surprisingly, I've been inspired into a higher way of operating. I am more positive and reaching newly for other goals.I was surprised how much I got out of it. I didn't expect to feel positive change for life in general. It is kind of subtle and powerful.
I am curious to to see where it takes me."

I learnt a beautiful rejuvenation technique by doing a very simple Alexander Technique action.
I use it after a big day and am feeling tired. It only takes about 10 minutes and I feel rejuvenated. It is a very efficient use of my time as sometimes I feel like I need a long rest but I do this technique and I become lively and energetic again. It is quite amazing.
Another obvious improvement I had has to do with balance. I love ice skating and this sport improves balance and strength. I hadn't mastered the turns and have had difficulty with it for a long time. I am 68 years old and had accepted the thought that I was never going to improve my turns.
Helen taught me a simple correction to my turn technique and the next time on the ice I could smoothly turn and with better balance and control during the turn. I was so thrilled and very pleased with myself.
My experience of the Alexander Technique workshop with Helen was fun and in an environment that was pleasant and relaxed. Helen is a very competent and delightful teacher. She really understands this subject so well and I am happy to recommend her workshops.

"I was really inspired by what Helen showed me during our lessons together. She has a great ability to simplify things to make them easy to understand and apply.
The gains I got from her help are very impressive. I use the tools every day and my chronic neck pain has gone. I am aware of my posture now but most importantly I know what to do to correct it.
It is a journey to get this body back to 100% health but I’m very glad to have Helen on my team and helping to make it a reality."
