About me

Welcome
You may be looking for help with persistent aches and pains, muscle tension, fatigue, stress or simply a feeling that your body isn't functioning as well as it used to. Whatever has brought you here, you're very welcome.

Many of the people I work with have already tried several different approaches. They often tell me they're frustrated that the problem keeps returning or that they don't feel they've found someone who has really listened to the whole picture.

 
My approach
I use Kinesiology, Reiki (Energy Healing) and gentle therapeutic bodywork to work with your body rather than against it. Every session is tailored to you and guided by what your body is telling us on the day.

Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I'm interested in understanding the underlying patterns that may be contributing to pain, tension or feeling out of balance. My aim is to help your body recover its natural ease, resilience and ability to heal.

 
What people often notice
As tension begins to release, people often describe sleeping better, moving more comfortably, feeling calmer and having more energy. Just as importantly, they often leave with a better understanding of their body and greater confidence in how to look after themselves.

 
An invitation
Whether you're searching for Kinesiology, Reiki/Energy Healing or just holistic therapy, my hope is that you'll find a calm, welcoming space where you feel listened to, supported and treated as an individual.

Training, qualifications & experience

Training & Experience
My work is grounded in over a decade of training and experience in complementary healthcare, with a particular interest in helping people understand the underlying patterns behind recurring pain, tension and stress.

I first qualified in Touch for Health Kinesiology in 2012 and achieved Proficiency level in 2014. Kinesiology uses gentle muscle monitoring to identify areas of imbalance and help guide a personalised approach to treatment.

Alongside this, I trained in Energetic Cellular Healing with Tjitze de Jong (2015–16), an advanced form of energy healing, and I am also a qualified Reiki Practitioner. These approaches recognise that our bodies can continue to carry the effects of past illness, injury or emotional experiences long after the original event has passed. By gently working with these deeper patterns, it is often possible to help the body let go of what it no longer needs to hold, allowing a greater sense of ease, balance and wellbeing to emerge.

In 2025, I completed Professional Coaching Training with Coaching Development. Although my practice today is primarily body-based, this training strengthened my ability to listen deeply, work collaboratively and support clients in making meaningful, lasting changes beyond the treatment room.

I am committed to ongoing professional development and am continually deepening my understanding of the relationship between the body, the nervous system and our overall wellbeing. Every new insight helps inform my practice, enabling me to offer an increasingly thoughtful and individualised approach to care.

I am fully DBS checked and a member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT).
