About Me

For over 25 years, I have supported individuals in achieving profound transformation through a unique integration of bodywork and the healing arts. Trained in Alexander Technique, Craniosacral Therapy, and Integrative Transpersonal Psychotherapy, I specialise in addressing pain and discomfort—whether rooted in the body, the mind, or the intricate connection between the two. After all, where do your thoughts and feelings reside, if not within your body?

From personal experience, I deeply understand how the body and mind hold onto trauma, manifesting in pain and discomfort at physical, mental, and emotional levels. This insight inspired my journey into bodywork and psychotherapy to explore how stress shapes our entire being. My approach offers a foundation of stillness and deep listening, creating a spacious environment for healing, balance, and long-term change.

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.
