words from students...
"I have found (after only three weeks) a glimpse of how efficiently and calmly my body can work, in stillness and in movement, which I had lost sight of prior to seeing Annie.
I have lost self-criticism; that I'm not doing 'it' (being in my own body) right.
I have found self-belief.
I have found a strength to carry me through, physically and emotionally, that unbelievably started to form after
our first session.
Thank you so much, Annie, for helping me find me again, and for allowing me to remember that I am amazing!"

"Annie, it was perfect! I came away with an uplift of spirits, feeling far stronger and knowing that I could make a difference to my life. I recommend Annie's workshops for anyone feeling burdened by life'! You will gain insight into your own inner voices and how, gently, to encourage them to work for you." Alex.
"I've worked with Annie for a few years now and find her 'whole-being' approach has vastly improved my voice work. She has helped me developed an awareness of the subtle changes and adjustments that can be made to release tension and therefore the voice. Although, that said, every session with Annie taps into so much more than just voice work and I always leave with a sense that some long-held tension has shifted or become unstuck. A wonderful feeling!"

"I've not looked back. It's been amazing; the loss of pain has been achieved by learning to not only remove the symptoms, but crucially the causes. If you're thinking about The Alexander Technique, I can highly recommend Annie."
Rory Jenkins. CEO, Embardo Ltd. (RSI - Repetitive Strain Injury)
"Working with Annie has been a journey of playful discovery: leading me on an adventure to discover how my body works; and how all of the different parts relate to the whole. I have taken lessons for six months, and the subtlety is not always easy to grasp, but Annie is very good at breaking down the complexities to make them easy to work with. The results I am experiencing are a greater awareness of my body, its bad habits, and how to move with freedom and without pain. For anyone with pain or tightness in the body, I would highly recommend working with Annie." Jamie Turnbull. MD of Find Me On The Internet
"When I first met Annie Davenport Turner I was scheduled to have an operation to insert a metal plate into my neck and I had voiced my worries to my GP as I did not want to have the operation and felt that there must be another way. He told me to go and find a good Alexander Technique teacher. I followed his advice and met Annie and took my first step on an amazing journey which has literally changed my life. I would describe myself at the time of meeting Annie as a lump who was in constant pain. I say a lump because nothing moved properly in my body and when it did move it was painful. Eighteen months on I am still on this illuminating and joy filled journey and The Alexander Technique has become my constant friend. I am still learning and hope I always will but I can now move without pain, my energy levels are way up, my outlook on life has completely changed - I enjoy every day. Annie Turner is a wonderful mentor and teacher and I feel blessed and honoured to have met her." Denise. (Pain clinic attendee.)
"I cannot praise Annie highly enough. She clearly knows her stuff and is able to draw on all of her experience to create an individually tailored session every time. I have valued her knowledge, her calm, caring energy, and her warmth. I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with Annie. I have had moments which have been incredibly powerful, and moments which are more subtle and yet which I can tell are building solid foundations for the future. I believe there are potential benefits for all within these sessions." Coral.
"I have benefitted so much from my sessions with Annie. I'm quite practical at the head bit, but I have been fairly out of touch with my body resulting in discomfort and limitations to my movement. The Alexander Technique has provided the mind-body link that I have been looking for. It has helped me develop my awareness, confidence and comfort at being in my body, and moving. I feel more centred, more connected and more integrated. I feel stronger, calmer and more considered." Jane.
"On Saturday I attended Annie's workshop. The workshop itself was fantastic; I had such an amazing healing and transformational day and can't fault it in anyway. I released much, and much was bought into my awareness, helping me gain much clarity at a very low point in my life. I truly was feeling so in my victim and so disempowered.. I went away feeling so much stronger, lighter, clearer and much more positive. I truly felt I had regained my power and with it much balance, and truly feel this has been grounded into my daily life. I really do feel I have taken away with me some very powerful and much needed tools and have integrated them with much ease and grace. I was particulary having relationship problems, but in the evening of the workshop, I spoke to my partner and we spoke like we hadn't spoken in a long time! By coming from the heart and by putting into practice the tools I had been given during the day, so much has shifted that it's difficult to put into words just how much has changed.. For this I must thank you, Annie, truly. Thank you so, so much... I'm so looking forward to doing more work with you in the future, as I really would like to build on this "new Me" and regain my power in All ways. Kara.
