The people behind The Chapel

Relationships built over many years.

For more than twenty years, The Chapel has been a constant in the lives of the people who train here.

Many of our guests have trained with us for a decade or more. Their coaching has continued and adapted as their lives have changed, guided by people who already know them well.

Alex's approach has developed through more than two decades of individual coaching, including approximately ten years working with dancers from English National Ballet in injury rehabilitation and performance conditioning.

“The most well-educated, concerned, effective advice and training anyone could ask for.”
Angela Wood · English National Ballet

Each new guest is welcomed personally by our founder, who takes the time to listen and to understand you before setting the direction of your coaching. From then on, you are coached by an experienced team who come to know you well and share one considered approach.
