It all started from the 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 …. 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 people's lives

I believe in the potential and promise of holistic treatment. I will always address the condition that you’ve come with, making sure that I also investigate the underlying circumstances, your personal context and experience… all of you.

I absolutely love my work. I consider the opportunity to share my love for anatomy and my clinical experience one of the biggest privileges of my life.

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, and yoga for teaching me how to have a good chuckle at myself…

I’m head-over-heels for water—beaches, waves, salty breezes… I could stay there forever and still not get enough!

I love reading, I can’t imagine a day without a book in my hand.

These days, you'll find me living in Oxford with my husband, Cintain.

MY PRACTICE

My approach to healing work

  • Compassionate

    By embracing compassion the healing process transforms from a struggle into a collaborative journey of growth and renewal.

  • Mindy-Body Connection

    Recognising and nurturing this connection allows for a more holistic approach to health, where treating the mind becomes as important as treating the body.

  • Personalised

    Each individual’s experience is unique. Personalised approach empowers individuals to actively participate in their healing journey.

  • Non- judgemental

    Approaching others with an open mind and heart, free from criticism or prejudice.

  • Empowering

    You are encouraged to take ownership of your health, making informed decisions and trusting your body's natural ability to restore balance.

  • Heartful

    A heartful approach to healing centres on genuine connection between therapist and client inviting honesty, softness and openness into the therapeutic relationship.

  • Patient

    Every healing journey is unique, and there is no timeline you need to adhere to. Progress may come in waves, sometimes slow and other times swift, but what matters most is honouring your own pace.

MY FAVOURITE QUOTE

Every evening I go to sit upon the mountain
Until the last cloud has drained from the sky
And the final bird has returned to its tree
We sit together, the mountain and me 
Until only the mountain remains
