It all started from a parachute that didn’t open …

It wasn't me (luckily!) but someone very close to my heart. Whilst Western medicine undoubtedly saved his life, it was various forms of bodywork that helped him return to his full power.

I was hooked!

For the last 12 years, I have travelled the world to learn from some of the best alternative health teachers in the world of myofascial, visceral and craniosacral therapy.

I have worked in various clinical settings in Oxford, Edinburgh and abroad and I have done over 5,000 treatments to date (yes, I have a spreadsheet! :-)

“My teachers taught me that if we find the underlying causes of pain and address them skilfully, we can change the course of our lives.”

I believe in the potential and promise of holistic treatment

My approach goes beyond simply addressing the condition you’ve come in with — I take the time to understand the full picture of your health and well-being. This means exploring not only the physical symptoms but also the underlying factors, your personal circumstances, and the unique experiences that shape who you are.

The words "My journey" written in elegant, cursive font with a dark purple color.

For much of my life, I carried the quiet weight of self-doubt and shame, the kind that settles deep within and whispers that care is something meant for others, not for me.

I learned to tend to everyone else’s needs while quietly abandoning my own, mistaking self-neglect for strength and self-sacrifice for love.

But through the gentle unfolding of craniosacral bodywork, meditation, somatic exploration, and the deep compassion of NARM therapy, I began to listen to the language of my body, its tremors, its tears, its longing to be met.

Bit by bit, I softened…

I learned that healing was not about striving, but about remembering, coming home to myself, reclaiming the tenderness I had so freely given away, and discovering that wholeness had been waiting for me all along.

  • In my free time I let my inner artist go wild designing websites for fellow therapists, and making buddhist jewellery for fellow meditators.

  • I love meditation, which has had a profound impact on my life. I love yoga for teaching me how to have a good chuckle at myself…
