Integrative Physiotherapy Sessions

I am an Integrative Physiotherapist & Yoga facilitator with 20 years experience drawing upon clinical Physiotherapy, mindfulness & somatic tools.

I offer a body based & mental health approach, specialising in care for the ongoing effects of chronic stress, pain, invisible illness and trauma.


My work is based on my conviction that we are inherently capable of change and growth, but that no one can do it alone.

I feel honoured to co-create pathways towards greater self-understanding, capacity and wholeness.
