What to expect when working with me
Empathy, warmth and care
My overriding intention is to offer you a serene and healing environment, where I take the time to explore your concerns and really understand what you are dealing with. I am highly attuned to each person, and deeply connect and convey my care and genuine concern for your wellbeing through therapeutic touch and active listening.
Trust and safety
Healing begins with trust. This is where you experience a feeling of safety, a space where you can speak about anything and feel confident that whatever you share will be respected and treated confidentially. Your best interests guide all my actions, and it is a privilege to walk beside you as your trust in your own body’s ability to heal grows.
Holistic approach
Your physical body is impacted by everything you experience, so it is essential to tease out all the threads that may be contributing to your situation such as lifestyle factors, sleep patterns, social connections, stress and relationships. I have worked in many different healing fields and draw on a wide range of techniques, perspectives and nuanced understandings to optimise your health and wellbeing.
Maturity, wisdom and life experience
Understanding all the fascinating aspects of the body and how it works has been a life-long interest and passion that has seen me work as a theatre nurse, then study, practice and teach yoga, meditation, Hanna Somatics, kinesiology and Thai yoga massage over many years. My osteopathic practice draws upon this unique skills-set and knowledge base, and is informed by the maturity and wisdom born of considerable life experience.
Professionalism
My work is informed by evidence-based practices and I continue to develop my skills through regular professional development and learning. I value all the many facets of what health comprises and believe that there is a role for all types of therapy, modalities and medicines in optimising health and treating dis-ease. I complement or refer to other health professionals as needed and am always guided by your best interests.
