Judith works on the approach to understanding of how we are psychophysical as humans and how to approach that understanding with the thinking that leads to emotional intelligence and embodied awareness.
With musicians, she spends some time on working on intelligent practice leading to powerful performance. Understanding and developing a clear body map for movement and playing or singing.
She works with all performers on finding a quiet strength; a quiet mind and an easy body. She likes to give clear strategies and studies for performance confidence as well as everyday life. Working on finding self-acceptance, which leads to self-development whilst developing skills in practice, rehearsal and performance. Judith uses stillness and movement and is particularly interested in having a healthy approach to being calm, confident and coordinated, being able to focus and be present under pressure, not over worry about making mistakes, that is how we learn. Her work also usually involves balancing and recognizing the work, rest and play of life and in learning.
