(PhD, MPhil, RCST, ITMC, RMT)
I am an intuitive healer, craniosacral therapist, reflexologist, reiki master teacher and a workplace & clinical supervisor. I have over 20 years of experience working with adults and families offering integrative therapy.
I use energetic and body led approaches, mindfulness and appreciative inquiry to support clients. I believe that the mind and body are connected and if we integrate the story of our life, we can become happier and healthier.
I believe that mind and body are connected and there is no ‘one approach fits all’ solution to therapy. This is why I use a range of techniques to help you achieve your wellness goals.
Together we can evaluate areas of importance for your mental, physical, social, relational, and spiritual wellbeing.
My aim is to teach you how to connect to your inner tuition and resources to heal your body and mind.

Witnessing positive changes in my clients is one of the joys of my work, although some phenomena cannot be currently measured, capturing outcomes that are important to clients has been one of my missions for over 10 years.
I have published in peer-review journals on outcomes of craniosacral therapy and also patients perspectives of self-care. And have developed a conceptual framework of CST outcomes.

Warwick Holistic Health Questionnaire (WHHQ)
My earlier work has evolved as I wanted to find a way to evaluate the outcomes I was seeing in practice in a rigorous and systematic way. For my PhD at the University of Warwick Medical School I designed and validated a psychometric tool to evaluate mental, physical, social/relational, and spiritual wellbeing.
In 2018, I was a winner at the Complementary Therapy Awards for my work into evaluating patient outcomes and development work on the WHHQ and won the FHT award for complementary therapy research.
I use this tool within my practice with clients to document changes.

During the earlier part of my training within the field of complementary therapy I obtained a wide skill base of body orientated therapies including massage, reflexology and Bowen Therapy whilst studying at the Southern School of Natural Therapies, Melbourne, Australia. Also, whilst living in Australia I was introduced to the Usui Method of Reiki and completed my Master Teacher Training in 2003.
Psychodramatic Bodywork
(Introduction, Intermediate & Advanced Training) from May 2008 – completed in Feb. 2014.
This training combines two forms of psychotherapy: Psychodrama and Bodywork. Psychodrama uses dramatic action methods to free and integrate spontaneity blocked by earlier trauma. Bodywork uses safe touch to help individuals connect with the messages that are held in the body as pain, numbness and/or illness. A spiritual component that deepens the effectiveness of the work is incorporated into the sessions I offer.
