Background

I qualified as a Bates Teacher in 1998, having been a Manufacturer's Agent for 16 years in the highly competitive housewares industry, here in the UK and abroad.

I became interested in the Bates Method for 2 reasons: I hated wearing glasses for my short sight and astigmatism and was aware of the possible consequences of having a family history of glaucoma and cataract going back 3 generations on the maternal side.

I was so impressed and impassioned by the Method that after I had dispensed with lenses, I decided that this was to be my profession for life!


Practice

  • I have a purpose-built clinic at home where I teach all ages;
  • Lessons can be on a one-to-one basis or for entire families;
  • Concession rates are available for students, pensioners etc.
  • I lead group seminars at local adult education colleges;
  • I carry out individual or group sessions in the workplace, on topics such as computer eyestrain;
  • I also speak at local and international venues;
  • I have received referrals from Moorfields Eye Hospital and was on the board of the Eye and Mind Society from 2007 - 2009;
  • I am an assessor for new teachers for the Bates Association for Vision Education
