My own journey into movement and bodywork began in 1999 when a physiotherapist friend recommended I try Pilates to help with a shoulder injury. So off I went and did just that - I have not looked back!
Today I am as passionate about the body in movement as I was then. It is this passion that keeps me striving to find ways for each client to become more aware of their body and their whole self, so that they can enjoy moving with more ease or with less/no pain, prevent injuries, recover from injuries and feel better and healthier overall. I have a special interest in women's health and I provide advice and exercises for ante-natal and post-natal care as well as for osteoporosis.
I have studied Structural Integration (KMI) with Tom Myers and James Earls, Advanced Myofascial Techniques (CAMT Level 1) with Til Luchau, Active Fascial Release (AFR) with James Earls and ScarWork Therapy by Sharon Wheeler. I hold an MSc in Dance Science from Laban in London, a diploma in Applied Functional Science (Gray Institute) and a diploma in Somatic Movement Education (Franklin Institute). I am a Yoga Alliance International certified graduate of CamYoga Teacher training (RYT 200) and am Pilates certified by Polestar Pilates and Body Control Pilates. During my studies and practice I meet wonderful teachers and I have made friends from other somatic schools and practices such as Feldenkrais and Body-Mind Centering and those teachings keep influencing my own practice and my work.
My client base covers a broad spectrum and all ages. I work in a complementary health centre and I teach regular classes in local sports and community centres. In the past I have worked with corporate clients, in a Physiotherapy practice teaching and adapting Pilates on equipment and I taught pre-natal and post-natal classes in a women's health centre.

I have really enjoyed your sessions and benefited hugely from all that I have learnt from you about body awareness and how to look after myself in everyday life. You are a fantastic practitioner and teacher and I really like the way that you are continually developing your knowledge and practice.

I just wanted to say how marvellous I felt after the myofascial treatment walking back to the car yesterday. I had a glimpse of how I could feel all the time and this has given me confidence and joy. I had a good walk today with my friends and it was so lovely to be walking in the sunshine. I think you are wonderful!

The treatment on my hysterectomy scar was really successful for me - that feeling of tethering I had quite strongly has really diminished. I was really aware of the scar all of the time. Now, I’m aware of my lower abs. I went for a long walk 3 days after the treatment and there was an absence of feeling of the scar, and more of a connection through my whole body - just like it used to be pre-surgery.

I did want to tell you that the pelvic floor exercises paid off - I recovered much better than with either of the first two births.

I love the way you explain what is happening with our bodies, particularly now that I am getting older and I am beginning to become more aware of my joints for example and then explore with us how we can make some exercises a part of our lives and how we can take care of our bodies. I am enormously grateful for this.
