To get an insight into Nuala and Don’s work, you can read some testimonials from clients who have experienced a range of their services and wanted to share their story:
I would say that by studying the Alexander Technique I can expect to feel wonderful, better than ever before in my life. I only wish I had had that salutory fall seventy years ago. Thank you, thank you Nuala you were right there & so spot on. You didn’t miss a beat, like a good drummer & I was right in my big heavy load of crap too. Thanks for not letting me stay stuck in it. How does it get better- an hour later & a lot of laughs, I am light as a feather. What a gift you have! 1000 Blessings & deep gratitude. Following a string of unsuccessful interviews for jobs I knew I was well capable of, I asked Nuala for help with my interview technique. The difference this made to my approach to interviews was immense. Nuala helped me to recognise important skills and personal qualities that I was failing to draw to the attention of my interviewers, and also showed me how best to organise my thoughts logically so that I could respond effectively to any given question. She also sent me away with practical tasks that helped me to prepare for my next interview in a very structured and focused way. As a result, I approached the next interview with far greater confidence than I had been experiencing. Even during the interview, I was heartened be my ability to recognise the implications of the questions I was being asked and to construct appropriately sequenced answers that demonstrated that I had the knowledge and attributes the interview panel were seeking. Not only did I get the job but the company commented on the high quality of my interview performance. I cannot thank Nuala enough for the skillful way in which she helped me to turn my interview technique. Her assistance was more than worth every penny! Banking Industry It is the start of June now and the hay fever season for me should be well and truly over. So I can now tell you how I got on this year. I would like to add that I’ve been blessed, wherever I’ve been, by exceptional Alexander teachers coming into my life. Here in Belfast, Don White in Holywood, knew what was wrong and how I needed to direct my energies and inhibit my body’s desire to compensate for the pain, and survive until surgery, when the National Health Service was still making diagnostic mistakes. His interventions came in month 10, just as I had given up on the NHS, invoked my private BUPA insurance, and finally gotten the correct MRI and an accurate diagnosis by a talented and innovative private consultant orthopaedic surgeon, Mr Jonathan Bunn, who knew about and deeply respected the Alexander Technique. Several times Mr Bunn has attributed my pre-operative grit and post-operative success to Alexander training, along with dance, trekking, a dynamite physiotherapist Jeff Blair (Alphaphysio), and my personal trainer Kirsty at David Lloyd’s, all here in Belfast, Nothern Ireland. But without Alexander, which my surgeon said his own mentor at Queen’s Unversity Belfast’s Medical School “found was the only thing that helped him ease and transform chronic back pain,” I might not have found the will, stamina, or faith to fight through to a diagnosis, live through a year of ever-increasing pain with life-force and energy to spare, or re-build as fast as I have done following Total Hip Replacement surgery on 30th January 2013. God bless all who’ve contributed their expertise to this miracle, and god(s) bless all who study and teach Alexander Technique throughout the world. Un otrá vece, Graçias à la Vida. And now jo quiero pregunta à un amigo to translate estas qué jo éscriban aquí en Éspañol! Last night I mentioned I had had a moderate to severe headache all day, and you offered to ‘tap’ on it.
I felt unable to express my thanks in the way that I would have liked at the end of the programme at xxxx.
I am writing to you now to say that the event was one of the most memorable that I have been on – its success in no small way being directly attributable to the skill, care and emotion that you invested.
I know from speaking to others around the department that there is a great sense of achievement and togetherness – some ‘magic’ that we all want to see perpetuated. This is perhaps the main concern that we all have – ‘to hold the moment’. Sincere thanks for helping us to gain this most powerful of insights – ‘simple being human is ok.’ Best wishes Tim.
Well when I could feel my eyes getting itchy and my nose running or sneezing I used the techniques we discussed in our session. As a result the itching and sneezing soon stopped. What was also pleasing was the fact that I read this year was going to be really bad because of the cold spring and the lateness of the pollen being released and the trees would it all out all at once. However I hardly suffered at all, barely a few days and as I said before I used the techniques and the suffering went away.
Therefore I can say it has been a resounding success and this spring has been one which I have actually enjoyed and not had to suffer through.
So all I can say is a great big thank you Nuala for helping me get through this spring and many more to come.
Reluctantly I agreed, being tired and ready to take a (rare) paracetamol. Just tapping along in itself was quite painful, so I went half-heartedly at it. Quite soon to my surprise the pain reduced considerably, but did not go away. I was then asked to try to bring it back as strong as I could. Sure enough back it came with a vengeance, up to 8 out of 10. Not feeling at all good I worked on with Nuala, and within a couple of minutes I was freed, and able to get to sleep with no problem, waking up still completely clear.
Thankyou
