Ursula Fleming born 1930 in Liverpool — died 1992 was a British psychotherapist, and author. She began developing pain control techniques, as she wanted to be a concert pianist but was unable to steady her nerves. Her attempts to find a cure for her unsteady hands led her to find a technique, which she used to treat 1000's of patients, and led to her following a career in complementary medicine. Her technique, known as the Fleming Method, relies on relaxed concentration to overcome pain. [ [http://archive.theargus.co.uk/2002/6/15/156003.html The Argus - Nerves helped sister grasp the nettle ] ] Ursula dreamed of opening a training center where she could pass on her knowledge to others but was unable to fulfill her goal due to being struck down by leukemia. She was married to British tennis player Jack Darkins.
