With over 25 years experience in the mind and body field, my journey began as a remedial massage therapist working alongside physiotherapists developing a solid foundation in injury rehab, stretching techniques and movement patterns of the body. Over time, however,  I realised something was missing.

Clients were coming in with stress affected bodies, similar personality types had similar issues and I began to explore the huge connection between the body and mind. I started working with the psychology of postures, how energy is distributed in the body and identifying how tissue textures showing beliefs, emotions and mental processes are expressed through the body. As a massage therapist I take into account not only the tense or injured muscles but also how the mind is expressing itself in the body. 

Through studies in psychology, somatic psychotherapy and embodiment coaching my experience in this field grew to incorporate a deeper understanding of the mind and the psyche. As a registered counsellor I work with conditions such as anxiety, low mood, life transitions, relationship concerns and trauma. My approach is a blend of cognitive based models that work with outdated thoughts and behaviours and more somatic (body) based models which access deeper parts of ourselves held in the body.
