I have worked in the field of complementary health for 20 years, teaching yoga and meditation, and running a  busy therapeutic massage and Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy practice. I had the  privilege of training for two years with Franklyn Sills, a pioneer in the field of Biodynamics. A lifelong curiosity and love of learning led me to attending workshops with many world renown experts in trauma. mindfulness and somatic therapies throughout my career. Over the decades  I gained invaluable insight and practical experience in the body’s innate ability to heal. 

I learned that what gets in the way of it’s healing is often the mental and emotional scars accumulated over a lifetime; I came to know that the mind and the body are intricately linked and true healing must address the whole being . A desire for a more holistic approach in my work  led me to the study of psychotherapy. I am an accredited Core Process Psychotherapist with a Masters Degree in Mindfulness Based Psychotherapy. I have completed the foundation  training  in  Neuroaffective Touch® integrates touch and psychotherapy bringing together a truly holistic model.  

The three modalities which I now offer use a  systemic Top Down/Bottom Up approach to wellness, and honor the primacy of the Mind/Body connection.

I offer a safe and supportive  space for my clients and bring a compassionate, nonjudgmental and authentic presence to our therapeutic relationship.

I have an ongoing commitment to personal development and have  my own personal therapy. I am a fully insured clinician. As a UKCP registered psychotherapist I have clinical supervision, as well as peer supervision, in order to best support my clients.

Whether it is psychotherapy, craniosacral therapy or NeuroAffective Touch® you choose, my goal as a therapist is to support you in your healing process through the cultivation of inner resources like self-compassion, presence, resilience and embodiment. 

 I believe that wellness is our birthright and I am committed to yours.
