I offer gentle, personalised work to support mobility, balance, and connection with your body.
My approach integrates decades of experience in rehabilitation with mindfulness, breath awareness, and hands-on therapeutic work. Ultimately, I want to help you to be able to help yourself.
I originally trained and practised as a physiotherapist for over 30 years, working with a wide range of physical conditions. Over time, my work has evolved to include a more holistic and mindful approach to the body, drawing on craniosacral therapy, movement awareness, and trauma-informed practice.
What I help with:
- improving mobility and confidence in movement
- supporting recovery after illness, injury, or falls
- balance and falls prevention (including Otago)
- breath and body awareness
- nervous system regulation / trauma-aware support.

I have particular expertise in headaches, migraines and whiplash injuries.
Sometimes there is a strong emotional component to the physical manifestation of a problem, due to stress or trauma. I believe this needs to be factored into your treatment. We then can combine manual therapy with Cranio-Sacral Therapy, visualisation , breathing or emotional release techniques.
We also want to help you age gracefully. I am a trained Otago Exercise Practitioner (OEP) , which is an evidence based strength and balance retraining program designed for elderly clients. This might be for you if you had a fall or begin to feel unsteady.
