My mission is to offer my shiatsu and acupuncture skills, and the teaching of Yoga and Somatics, to help my clients move and live to their full potential!
Over 20 years ago I trained in Shiatsu therapy – which must be one of the most nourishing, grounding and uplifting hands-on energy therapies. It’s nearly as enjoyable to give as a treatment, as it is to receive. I have been giving one-to-one treatments to clients since then and have also worked in the corporate setting.
I went on to train in acupuncture in 2002 so that I could hone in more specifically when treating particular ailments. What a revelation that was. I am constantly delighted to see how effective it can be at addressing chronic problems.
Yoga was always been a great support for me personally. Consequently, I trained as a teacher in 2009 and then as a yoga therapist in 2018 and now teach most days of the week. It is a joy to see students build their strength and stamina, but perhaps more importantly, to hear how they use their yoga to de-stress and calm the mind.
I am especially drawn to Restorative Yoga, which is a whole world in itself. It has an amazing ability to help us rest deeply and discover a profound sense of connection with ourselves. This is particularly so when it is combined with Yoga Nidra, where, listening to the sound of my voice, the person is guided into a deep state of relaxation.
Yoga Nidra has the power to release mental tension and bring real harmony to mind and body.
Most recently I have trained in Somatic Movement. It is a subtle yet powerful way to re-educate the brain-muscle connection in order to ease the pain of long held physical tension. The causes may be varied – whether as a result of trauma, emotional holding, work-related repetitive strain or unresolved injury.
I have personally found the practice has freed up my own unconscious muscle tension and improved my range of movement. In my own yoga practice, I have really felt the benefits.
It has to be said – I love to teach! I get great satisfaction in sharing what I have learned over the years.
