"Cultivating closeness and warmth  for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It is the ultimate source of success in life." - The Dalai Lama XI

​

I have always been passionate about health and wellness - about helping people feel comfortable and thrive in their own bodies, in mitigating the effects of their daily stressors and in supporting their recovery from and triumph over any emotional or psychological traumas. 

 

Having studied psychology and nutrition in the UK, sports and remedial massage in Australia and then with many bodywork practitioners in South-East Asia - all pathways have led me back to the seat of healing being addressing the nervous system.

 

When we feel safe, we unlock our bodies' innate ability to heal.

"As soon as you realise that as soon as you're touching someone on their skin, you are touching their brain, directly - it will change your entire world-view about manual therapy...." - Diane Jacobs

​

Whether it's chronic pain, fatigue or stress, auto-immune type symptoms, anxiety, depression, or unprocessed emotions - this becomes imprinted into our nervous system, into our cells and effects the very expression of our DNA. 

​

Bodywork is not just bodywork, it's mind-bodywork. Having experienced the healing effects of kind, intentional touch - not just physically but emotionally - and having witnessed them in others, it is something I am profoundly grateful to have found, and am honoured and humbled o be able to share with others. 

​

I pay gratitude and respect to my teachers, who have passed down not just their knowledge but their wisdom and their embodiment of 'meta' (lovingkindness); Chris Parker - who taught my head, Remco van de Visch - who taught my heart, and Natan Leijssen - who taught my soul. 

And to every body who has laid on my mat - you are my greatest teachers. Thank you.

No one thing can 'fix' another - but by supporting, encouraging and giving you permission to 'let go' I endeavour to provide space for you to heal; physically, emotionally,energetically and spiritually.
