No two people are the same, or suffer from the same injuries, conditions or illnesses. We all have our own unique situations and symptoms.
My focus is to support the full physical and mental well-being of each client, and to provide the holistic help required for relieving pain, improving health and getting lives back on track.
My commitment is to help each client, feel better, move better and return to work, sport or just enjoyable daily life, as quickly as is possible.

Regardless of age or health condition, I am dedicated to helping you.
I have personal experience of ill health, pain and exhaustion, having been through these experiences myself. Manual Therapy, for me, really worked and the treatments I received ignited a fascination and determination to learn more about the healing power of touch. Initially I trained in Sports Massage, where l learned, practised, perfected and advanced through the levels to the more specialised Advanced Sports Massage.
My training continued and I qualified in Advanced Clinical Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation, it was at this stage that I began to specialise in injury prevention, mobility maintenance, improvement in stability, performance and physical rehabilitation treatments for musculoskeletal injury and dysfunction.
Advanced Myofascial Release came next. I had previously discovered the basic skills, but the advanced training was to transform my understanding of how to release chronic neuromuscular pain through manual manipulation of the fascial system which helps the body to regain structural movement and gravitational balance. The training also taught me on a holistic level that memories, emotions, beliefs, actions and reactions can leave a lasting imprint on a client and their body. These can have a direct impact on physical, emotional and mental well-being as the body adapts to the difficulties they have experienced. Advanced Myofascial Release can release emotions as well as pain.
The mind-body connection was to be explored further as I trained intensively across all three levels of Internal Family Systems (IFS). I had already found that treating the body was not always enough, and that IFS provided the missing parts of the holistic treatment for overall physical and mental well-being. IFS is a transformative, evidence-based psychotherapy, which I use as the primary modality to support mental and emotional well-being, allowing the client to heal from within and discover their true self.
