“Helping others is one of the greatest gifts you can give.”
My journey
I am passionate about helping people to achieve their best health. I worked for 11 years as a Registered Dietitian. My work involved supporting adults and children with a wide range of medical conditions. I gained a solid background in anatomy and physiology that helps me provide an expert service.
A positive experience of massage helped me to combat my own ill health and inspired me to train as a holistic practitioner. After a cycling accident, I suffered for years with chronic pain, poor mobility and anxiety. Massage and acupuncture played a key role in my healing.
I first qualified with Bristol College of Massage and Bodywork as a holistic massage therapist. Not only did I learn great skills, I learnt about the powerful connection between the mind and body and how nurturing touch may promote powerful change.
With my background in competitive sports, I naturally trained further as a Level 5 Sports and Remedial Massage Practitioner. This allowed me to support athletes with their injury rehabilitation.
Recently I found a new path into Myofascial Release Therapy. This gentle therapy offers a unique approach for the symptoms of chronic conditions, both mental and physical, that other therapies have failed to touch.
I firmly believe skilled bodywork is a powerful tool to help prevent and reverse stress-related ill health. This is something we all can benefit from in our fast paced lives today. My own experience of chronic pain and injuries enables me to sensitively work with others with physical and emotional pain, and this is central to my work.
Outside of the treatment room, I enjoy all outdoor sports, mountain biking, and brazilian jiu jitsu.
