Before becoming a therapist I originally trained as a Mechanical Engineer, so have a solid understanding of mechanics and mechanical systems. I apply this background to provide a structured, methodical approach, analysing whole body structure for balance and imbalance. I am a keen cyclist, runner and triathlete, enjoying competing in both sprint distance and endurance races to challenge myself. En

Back in Clinic this week after four days as a teaching assistant on the SER Craniosacral Therapy course.
Great to be doing what I love; working with clients from a few days old upwards to 90+ using a range of modalities to suit the individuals needs.
Some lovely feedback from Rhi for her son. It’s great to treat babies. Parents often come seeking help with feeding, digestive issues and sleep.
“Absolutely amazing, my little boy had feeding issues from a fast delivery and tounge tie, jaw alignment. Can’t describe how effective the treatment is, but he just works magic. My son was truly relaxed and just after the first session the feeding/latch was much better. He also worked on the digestive system to help wind and discomfort which worked within 10 minutes of treatment. The whole atmosphere is comforting and the technique he uses is so gentle. I refer to him as a baby whisperer. Would highly recommend. Rhi Leia

Final day of being a teaching assistant on the Craniosacral Therapy Somato Emotional Release in Kenilworth.
Today we focused on rebalancing and how other techniques fit with Craniosacral Therapy as part of the Somato Emotional Release process.
If you’d like to know more or arrange an appointment, please contact me.
This week I’m taking on the role of teaching assistant, helping and supporting students who are on their journey of learning Craniosacral Therapy.
The Somato Emotional Release course forms part of the core training that students study to become a qualified Craniosacral Therapist with the Upledger Institute.
During the course you explore the way emotion can be held in the body; developing your craniosacral therapy techniques and learn how providing patience and stillness without ego as the practitioner facilitates the clients treatment process.
If you’d like to know more or arrange an appointment, please contact me.

Some lovely feedback from the parents of Phoenix who I saw first he was just 5 days old.
Craniosacral Therapy for infantile Colic. This is not the largest clinical trial but it adds even more to the wonderful anecdotes that parents share.
"Craniosacral therapy appears to be effective and safe for infantile colic by reducing the number of crying hours, the colic severity and increasing the total hours of sleep."
