Christine Ackers began training in The Alexander Technique with Walter Carrington at The Constructive Teaching Centre in 1966. She remained there post-graduation as an assistant until moving to Sydney in 1983 where there was a need for an experienced teacher to help establish F M Alexander’s teaching in the country of his birth.

Christine stayed on in Australia and has continued teaching and training students. Apart from working at the variety of unskilled jobs a young person takes to pay the rent, Christine has never done anything other than teach the Alexander Technique.

She currently assists on Simon Fitzgibbon’s training course which he conducts out of her premises in Sydney CBD.
