Hi I’m Helen
I’m the founder of the Helen Aun Institute and I’ll be guiding you through the full learning experience.
As a professional pianist and a performer I deeply understand the emotional and physical challenges people in this profession face.
I have created a unique method that integrates the best of the Alexander Technique, EFT, piano playing and mindset work to bring about powerful change in my students.
But it wasn’t always this way…
For many years I was hindered by chronic tendonitis and back pain. I also avoided performing because of extreme levels of anxiety when playing in public.
Through my training in the Alexander Technique and many other methodologies, a lot has changed.
Once I enrolled in the Alexander course my aches and pains started melting away, being replaced with a completely new sense of ease and flow. I became calmer, more focused, and more confident.
I started consciously combining what I learned in my training with my piano playing and teaching and I was blown away by the results I was seeing.
My teaching transformed beyond recognition as I became more and more skilled in spotting issues in my students and understood how to solve them.
One of the biggest changes that happened were around how I felt when playing in public. I went from a held back, insecure, anxious performer to someone who started looking forward to performances and who would come alive on stage.
This is possible for you, too!
