I started my professional life as a musician and teacher. During my training, I began to struggle with my physical health which got to the point of losing the use of my hands and arms through practising for long hours in the wrong way. Aged 20 I faced the end of my musical career and life as I had known it up until then. This led me to begin a journey which has culminated in me developing Healing from Within. As I was going through all the orthodox treatment and investigations, I kept being told that it was just something that would take its time. Not content with being a passive observer in my health, I started exploring how I used my body, mind and emotions in every day life. I noticed several things that led me to inspiring healing in my body. The first was that all my parts had to operate individually even though they are all fundamentally connected. So… if I wanted to lift my arm, I had to do so without lifting my shoulder and so on. I found I could alter my perception of the pain I was in by altering my attachment to the thoughts around it…..so if my arms were registering intense pain, I let them be painful whilst maintaining the rest of me as “fine”.

What then began happening was that I started to look at life differently and having completely changed my diet, my clothes (no zips, buttons etc) and my lifestyle, I was able to complete my studies in fine style!!. Also I was forever curious and awake as to my body and its potential should it not be nourished and used correctly. Over the years this journey continued through training as a craniosacral therapist, a soul response therapist, a herbalist and looking into other healing modalities that used the natural medicine within all of us and that which is connected to the Earth.

I specialise in helping people listen to the messages behind what their body is experiencing symptomatically and inter-connecting and interacting the WHOLE of the human Being, in physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Through my touch I explore what our body is holding. A question I often am asked is how can touch heal the more subtle rhythms in our body? Othodox medicine has been around for approximately 170 years, how did our ancesters survive before that? They practiced similar medicine, it is our brains and hands that created the machines now used to measure our health in hospitals, so the fact is that we as human beings are more powerful than is often accessed. It is not a question of opting out of orthodox methods of treatment, it is rather about knowing when to use it and how. A lot of people see me wanting their G.P’s to be informed and I always offer the option of keeping them involved, I may pick up something that needs a blood test or scientific exploration and examination. I seek to use appropriate-ness in all that I undertake…..I am a strong believer in being co-creative, no man or woman is an island. True Health is when all these different facets of ourselves have a rightful place in our lifes that we may be able to be all that we can be in every moment of every breath we breathe.

I am fully insured and registered to practice the modalities mentioned with the CSTA, which is also a member of the ICM and BCMA.
