For too long, there has been a focus on ‘germs’, symptoms, and symptom management using pharmaceutical intervention, often with associated side effects. I am passionate about the regenerative capacity of a person, given the right conditions or ‘terrain’, as well as the body’s own energy supply and delivery to facilitate healing. Addressing the underlying cause (for example musculoskeletal tension, deficiencies, toxin overload or held emotions) is paramount to my approach, which is done in a sensitive, compassionate, and kind way.
The unique combination of my training means that I understand the significant, and inseparable relationship between the biomechanics, bioenergetics and biochemistry and how true health, balance, and harmony, can only be achieved when there is a cohesion between them all.
To complement my osteopathy knowledge, I have additional qualifications in:
My osteopathy training and 20+ years’ experience means I have the knowledge and experience to medically diagnose, suggest treatment options, or advise a referral where appropriate.
Using Somatics I can help you to recognise and release holding patterns and chronic pain resulting from injury, stress, repetitive strain, and habituated posture. Through this work, you will increase your sensory abilities, improve your posture, address tension and pain, and support overall health and wellbeing.
The HeartMath Certification adds evidence-based techniques to aid regulation in the nervous system to not only release held tensions but to prevent them from occurring in the first place.
Using HILDA, I can objectively measure Vitalfield imbalances and priorities, to provide lifestyle guidance, strategies, and treatment.
The Coherence Framework ‘matters’ because it provides a skeleton of important topics to guide you in how to remember the path of greatest ease and least resistance. This enables you to find your way to coherence and optimal health.
Over the last 8 years of my 20 years in practice, I have been attending post-grad courses and learning about the embodiment of trauma; applying this during my regular clinics. I have also personally been healing from adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) so have first-hand knowledge and experience of how it feels when you are ‘stuck’ and the sensations of lightness, joy and life-force once it has been released.
Through therapy and energy healing, I have been able to process, grow, employ kind boundaries, stand in my power and values, quiet the mind and become comfortable to gaze within. I am so thankful for the beautiful souls who have helped me.
Somatics has empowered me to release and retrain the physical, emotional, and energetic responses I have held in my body and nervous system for many years. It sits beautifully with my training in Osteopathy, and my Biodynamic Cranial Training. I have a clearer sense of my purpose and how my past experiences were ‘training’ to be able to respond in the way that I have with resilience, integrity, intuition, love, and connection. I feel incredibly grateful for the synchronicity in the timing of the Somatics work. In 2020, I had the strength and wisdom to trust the innate intelligence and natural immunity of my body and to intuitively know how to stand in my truth, along with many other courageous leaders in the health field. I love sharing knowledge with my patients (health seekers) and to guide them to take responsibility for their own health in a natural and supportive way, by making powerful choices to be the very best versions of themselves.
I am blessed to have experienced stability and unconditional love from my grandparents and every day I am now able to feel gratitude and joy for the time I was able to spend with them and how they have helped to shape my heart-centred practice.

I am excited and hopeful for the future – please do join me – you are most welcome.
