QUALIFICATION DETAILS
Léonie John
Léonie John has a background in music having studied the piano in Glasgow. She began having lessons in the Alexander Technique during student days in 1974 due to recurrent severe back problems. The focus gradually shifted from music to the Alexander Technique via disparate activities such as teaching the piano in the Outer Hebrides and working at the UN in Geneva.
Léonie qualified from Jeanne and Aksel Haahr's training course in July 1984 and built up a busy teaching practice in Edinburgh, before moving to Australia in 1985. Léonie has also taught in Switzerland. She is particularly good at helping individuals with "intractable" problems.
Michael Stenning
Also with a background in professional music, Michael Stenning has worked in OHS/Rehabilitation/Human Potential/Training for 20 years.
He was certified as an Alexander Technique teacher in England in 1985 and subsequently worked under John Nicholls as part of post- graduate training. Michael developed and delivered an anatomy/physiology syllabus for A.T. teacher training in England in the early ‘90’s. He has also developed and delivered performance programs for musicians and athletes and latterly for computer-based workers. He has undertaken performance-related research with athletes, has designed office chairs, and recently completed a Grad Dip. in Learning Difficulties.
The broad theme is always working intelligently to reduce strain, and to avoid or mitigate the risk of injury, while optimising performance. Michael incorporates a sophisticated and well-tested approach to posture, ergonomics, breathing, balance, relaxation, rehabilitation, occupational health, and pain prevention and management
