About Me

Come home to yourself.

I offer a thoughtful space to explore what matters to you — whether through conversation, bodywork, or both. With over 28 years of experience, I have assisted people in profound transformation, and I have found that lasting change often requires addressing both the mind and the body together.

The same issue — whether it is anxiety, stress, chronic pain, a sense of being stuck, or simply a wish to live differently — can be approached from many directions.

Psychotherapy helps us understand how our experiences and the stories we tell ourselves shape and restrict our lives.

The Alexander Technique identifies how those same patterns live in the body as physical tension and habitual movement.

Craniosacral Therapy works at a deeper level still, allowing a subtle but profound sense of stillness and release.

These are not three separate treatments — they are three different ways of listening to the same story. I am equally happy to offer any one of these approaches individually, or together we can explore which combination suits you best.

I offer 60-minute individual sessions rather than the traditional 50-minute hour, giving us a little more time and space to work without feeling rushed. Longer integrated sessions of 90 minutes are also available by agreement.

I don't offer a quick fix or an instant cure, but a chance for you to gain greater understanding from a different perspective — an opportunity to see where you come from, and where you might choose to go from here.

How My Therapies Work

•Alexander Technique helps uncover and release physical patterns causing pain or restriction. It fosters a new way of moving through and experiencing life.

•Craniosacral Therapy addresses the energetic imprints of habitual physical and mental patterns, offering a profound sense of calm and integration.

•Psychotherapy delves into the stories and roots of these patterns, fostering deeper understanding and personal growth.

Sessions can combine these therapies or focus on one, tailored to your unique needs.

What to Expect

In a typical bodywork session, you will usually lie (or occasionally sit) fully clothed on a treatment couch. Using light hand contact, I help facilitate a deep release of tension. Many clients report a profound sense of relaxation during and after sessions, which often extends into daily life.

Sometimes, changes are subtle and become evident over time, especially upon returning to familiar environments. While some clients feel significant benefits after 3–5 sessions, others find ongoing sessions a valuable resource for their health and well-being. Together, we will determine the best approach for you.
