I am a qualified massage therapist and bring experience and understanding of how life experiences are imprinted in the body and how touch, breath, movement, and voice are rich sources of support, expression and flow. I recognise the body as a deep well of information and I’m committed to honing the skills of deeper listening to the body’s signals for health, wellbeing, safety and connection, to support your sense of whole self.

Being diagnosed with Breast Cancer in my 40s and stepping into my menopausal years has been a transformative time and continues to create rich soil for my life’s work. I have a particular interest in accompanying people through times of transition and challenge. ‘Deeper Listening’ refers to my evolving practice that holds central the values of kindness, balance and the body as the source of understanding. My work is rooted in the dynamics of active consent, collaboration and openness to outcome.

I am also a Gestalt Psychotherapist working towards UKCP accreditation. For more details about this aspect of my work please see my Psychotherapist profile.

Holistic Massage – a short intake assessment to ensure the treatment offered is safe and consensual. Massage using medium to light pressure, combined with gentle compressions, joint mobilisations, rocking and stretching which allows the body to naturally unwind and restore balance.  A little time at the end of the session to integrate and prepare for the outside world.
