Throughout my career, I have been fortunate enough to have observed the mental, emotional and spiritual relationship to many physical symptoms.

Overtime, I’ve harnessed an understanding of  body talk and a ‘real time’ appreciation of the way in which our internal state of harmony or dis-ease expresses through multiple levels of

Both my professional training and personal experiences have played a significant role in these understandings.

Mind-Body connections

The continued practice of the Cranial approach (working with the body’s involuntary mechanism) over two decades has enhanced my trust in my palpatory (a highly specialised sense of touch and ability to feel the body’s subtle involuntary expressions) and intuitive skills.

meaning, what you give your attention to magnifies in your life experiences. Over the decades, I have come to trust my intuitive guidance and growth in ways which are uniquely my own.

Life Coaching

Wellbeing coaching is a journey that began through a two decade long career as an Osteopathic practitioner. Through my practice, I found myself spending increasing amounts of  time emotionally supporting clients through their own unique healing journeys. I quickly came to realise its impact as an integral part of the physical healing. It’s pretty amazing to observe life’s synchronistic flows – and where they aim to take you!

Balance is the key!

The integration of life coaching into my practice has become yet another avenue for deepening insight within myself, and others. There’s really nothing better than holding space for others to find their way towards increasing amounts of clarity and the motivation required for meaningful change.
