After suffering back pain for many years, Helen was introduced to the Alexander Technique, thus learning how to improve use and eliminate pain. There is no greater pleasure than helping others do the same.

Of particular interest is the application of the Technique to various activites in which people are involved, and as a yoga student herself, particularly to yoga.

Helen assists in the teaching of the Alexander Technique to Acting students at NIDA (National Institute of Dramatic Art).

Helen was on the Council of AUSTAT for 8 years, 2 of which as Treasurer and presently Secretary.
