I’m so grateful for my Alexander Technique training experience at the Performance School. As a longtime student and trainee of the work, I’d started and stopped two other training programs, unable to finish. I finally found the right combination of information and support through Catherine and David’s program. The flexibility in their course structure, their expertise in and passion for the subject, their generosity of time, and their enthusiastic encouragement of my development really helped me achieve my goal.

Catherine and David have been absolutely stellar teachers in this work. Their willingness to experiment and explore new perspectives of the Alexander Technique has not only been incredibly interesting but it has instilled in me a great sense of curiosity as both a student and teacher. I certainly would not be moving through life in the same way had it not been for their guidance over the past several years.

My experience with The Performance School run by Catherine Kettrick and David Mills exceeded all of my expectations in many ways.... All of the subsequent activities were cumulative and purposeful in helping me prepare to be qualified to teach the Alexander Technique to individuals and classes, and for that I am eternally grateful.

I’m so grateful for my Alexander Technique training experience at the Performance School. As a longtime student and trainee of the work, I’d started and stopped two other training programs, unable to finish. I finally found the right combination of information and support through Catherine and David’s program. The flexibility in their course structure, their expertise in and passion for the subject, their generosity of time, and their enthusiastic encouragement of my development really helped me achieve my goal.    

One of the things I most appreciated about this training was Catherine and David’s interest in me finding the teaching style that was right for me. Having been influenced by several different styles of the work, I came to the training confused about what I had to offer and how. Much focus was given to not only learning the necessary skills and information, but also exploring how I could translate those into my own authentic teaching style. They are skilled at supporting the trainee in gaining mastery and confidence in their own unique strengths and abilities, which is very freeing and empowering. Also, their ethics are impeccable.   

I appreciated that when the pandemic came, the training was so easily adapted to going online, since Catherine and David had already been exploring online teaching of the Alexander Technique before it was commonly accepted as possible. They are trendsetters, while also being rooted firmly in the history and development of the work.
