Ali says:

I worked at Edinburgh University as a sports physiotherapist and during this time had many fantastic opportunities working and travelling with Scotland’s elite athletes’ particularly the Scottish hockey teams. I also worked in the field of ergonomics assessing different working environments all over mainland Scotland and the northern isles. During this time I pursued Pilates and acupuncture training in Britain and also returned to Australia to complete a post graduate diploma in sports manual therapy at UWA.

I became interested in Feldenkrais while living in the UK and travelled back to Australia twice a year for four years to complete the Feldenkrais training program graduating in 2009. I am passionate about the Feldenkrais method and continue to be amazed by the improvement it can bring to so many aspects of life for so many people. When I am not at work I love to spend time with my family and am kept extremely busy by my two gorgeous little daughters.
