What Olwen's clients say
Johanna Grunwell Ripponden, West Yorkshire Office based Sales Administrator " After being involved in a road traffic accident in 1997 in which I broke my C2 vertebra and had to spend 16 weeks wearing a halo, I spent many years trying numerous treatments including Physiotherapy, Reiki and Craniosacral therapy to combat the daily aching in my shoulders and frequent headaches which resulted from my neck injury. All these treatments only seemed to bring short term relief and within days the aches and pain returned. My beautician said that she had recently been having Alexander Technique lessons with Olwen and recommended that I try them.
Just a few weeks of lessons later I felt significantly better. Not only was I suffering fewer headaches but my shoulders held less tension and I was sitting much better at work. Being sat behind a computer all day was only adding to the problems I was having from injuries. I am not exaggerating when I say that the Alexander Technique has transformed life for me and has mental as well as physical benefits. I have also met with Olwen at her office in Halifax on a number of occasions now for advice and guidance on improving other aspects of my life and have recommended lessons to others as I feel we could all benefit from a bit of Alexander Technique." |

Bev Hopper describes her experience with The Alexander Technique
|
I had heard Olwen talk about the Alexander technique a number of times and to be honest for whatever reason it hadn't really resonated with me until we had a proper chat about business building in general, after that I recognised that I should investigate further, with a family history of Osteoarthritis and other dispositions, I considered it vital that I ensure I make the best of and look after my my posture as I am now middle aged...Yikes!! not a nice thought.
I was genuinely impressed by what Olwen taught me, and no it isn't all just about sitting up straight, chest out, shoulders back as I think many people might presume. I now have little reminder notes pinned close to my desk to ensure I follow what she taught me everyday....and as for the relaxation...WOW I could not believe my body could reach that level of ease....I would go as far as to say that Alternative therapist should experience the techniques that Olwen demonstrates as I have never experienced that at any other therapy session. |

" After a devastating
diagnosis of osteoporosis of the spine
and having received very little practical advice,other than to take the medication, I was at my wits end. However I was also determined to find a way of helping myself to keep as flexible and mobile as possible. Years ago I had read an article on the benefits of The Alexander Technique and a quick Google provided a list of teachers in West Yorkshire. |
Olwen shone out to me as a person truly interested in developing the potential of others and after an initial phone call I made my first appointment.
It is now nine months since my first lesson. I feel stronger physically especially in my back and also mentally stronger. I continue to develop an awareness of the conscious control that I can take over my physical movements,my mental attitude and my approach to life.'I choose to.....' is a phrase I repeat many times each day. My family have also noted the positive changes in me. |
However the most unexpected bonus. has been the increase in my height by 1 1/4inches.Previously I had been advised that loss of height would be a consequence of spinal osteoporosis.
I leave Olwen's lessons more positive and relaxed,feeling that I could put the world to rights- starting with myself. I have gained so much more than I ever expected from Olwen's teaching and I have only one regret - I wish I had made the decision to take lessons years ago. " Elizabeth E 4 August 2014 |
