"The body says what words cannot."
- Martha Graham
As we move through life, our daily activities, past injuries, surgeries, chronic stress, and other lived experiences can create patterns of tension in our body and affect its healthy functioning. This can result in chronic pain, decreased range of motion and a sense of disconnection from our body. My approach to bodywork is a holistic one, for we are not just a physical body, but an energetic and emotional one as well. With empathy, compassion and a listening touch, I am dedicated to empowering my clients to return to balance and mobility and reconnect with their Whole Self. I trained in the USA as a Massage Therapist in 2016 before training as a Reiki Practitioner and Craniosacral Therapist. I am passionate about the work I do and look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy uses a gentle, intuitive and listening touch to tune into deeply held tensions within the body. It is supportive and nurturing of the body's own natural propensity for self-healing. If you are experiencing unresolved chronic pain, tension or stress, Craniosacral Therapy offers a profound way to address the roots of these symptoms and how and why they have manifested in your body. Sessions are performed with you fully clothed and sitting or lying down comfortably. I will tune in with a light touch on the tops of your feet and then move to wherever your body indicates I should go. It can be a deeply relaxing treatment, and you may find yourself dropping into deeper levels of consciousness. You may feel things shifting or unwinding in your body. You may experience memories or see images, or you may experience nothing but an innate sense of calm. Whatever you feel will be what's right for you in that moment, what your body needs the most. And I will hold that space for you with reverence and compassion. ​​​​​​​​
Massage Therapy
With Massage Therapy, we connect with all the systems of the body, enhancing circulation, strengthening the immune response and decreasing inflammation. These improvements not only promote overall health but also help to relieve pain and reduce stress. Regular massage sessions can address past injuries and even prevent future ones, all while restoring calm and balance to our nervous systems. My intention with massage is always to provide a relaxing, yet therapeutic experience. I am trained in the following techniques: • Myofascial Release • Cupping Therapy • Trigger Point • Stretching • Hot Stone • Swedish massage • Deep Tissue ​Massage sessions are performed with you undressed to your level of comfort. You will remain fully covered throughout by a sheet or blanket and I will undrape only the part of the body I am actively massaging. I will leave the room to allow you privacy to get on the massage table and knock before I re-enter. The pressure of the massage is tailored to you, and I will check in with you at the beginning of the massage. However, communication is very important and if you feel you need more or less pressure anywhere, anytime, please do let me know and I will adjust to suit your needs. I use a wax based massage medium that leaves your skin soft and moisturised. It is nut and palm oil free. It contains Olive Fruit Oil, Beeswax, Vitamin E, Sunflower Seed Oil and arnica extract. Please let me know if you have any sensitivity to any of these ingredients before your appointment so that I may accommodate you with an alternative.

Reiki
Through Reiki, we can channel the Universal Energy that permeates all living beings. The uninterrupted flow of this Universal Energy through our bodies is essential for our well-being. Sometimes this flow can become blocked or stagnant, particularly in areas where stress, tension or injury have taken hold. By receiving the gentle Reiki Energy, it is possible to create significant shifts and to energetically realign the body, promoting a harmonious flow, which in turn calms the mind, restores balance and enhances the body's natural healing processes. When your energy flows freely, it nourishes and revitalizes every cell, creating a state of equilibrium and wellness. Sessions are performed with you fully clothed and sitting or lying down comfortably. Before we begin, you may wish to set an intention for your session and I will offer a collection of stones, so that you may pick one if you feel called to do so. I will use that stone within your session and it is yours to take with you when you leave. Once you are comfortable, I will hold my hands just off your body and let the Reiki Energy flow. You may feel warmth, coolness, tingling or pulsating as you settle into a deep state of relaxation.
