  • Visceral Manipulation
  • In this osteopathic approach, we find the root of your symptoms by looking at your body’s network of muscles, joints, organs, nerves and vessels to accurately target specific relationships that need support. For example, lower back pain can be caused by muscle imbalances, or organs and connective tissue restricting how muscles and joints work (often a key piece of the puzzle to see results). 
  • Specializing in complex problems, symptoms that have worsened gradually over time, and long-term, chronic, and recurring pain.  
  • I believe a high level of support should be available to everyone, whether you’re a professional athlete or just want to be able to pick something up from the floor. 

Outside interests: 

I can talk about fixing houses, damp and moving furniture like a giant tetris game, but what puts a twinkle in my eye are things that disrupt the norm and create a bit of fun, like festivals, live music, or a bit of out-of-place fancy dress. This passion for creativity and connection led me to a first career in film before shifting my focus to helping people transform their experiences. Life’s tough enough ,my aim is to help people be fit for fun.

  • Physiotherapy, soft tissue therapy and acupuncture 
  • Underpinning my physiotherapy practice is a solid background in anatomy education, and training in contemporary dance and movement. My approach to physiotherapy involves taking time to talk through problems, incorporating education in anatomy and neuroscience, using principles of yoga, and viewing pain from a wider perspective.
  • I use my hands to facilitate movement and for pain modulation through soft tissue work and acupuncture. My focus is on working with natural movement patterns that feed into everyday life.
  • I qualified as a physiotherapist in 2016 from St Georges Medical School, London, have trained in Sports Massage Therapy, and teach Clinical Pilates and Scaravelli-inspired yoga and Western Medical Acupuncture. As an NHS physiotherapist I worked at Guys & St Thomas’ trust in Central London in pre- and post-operative care, amputee rehabilitation, with people following traumatic brain injuries, and in respiratory care. Since 2018 I have specialised in musculoskeletal problems in NHS outpatient departments in both London and East Sussex. Since 2023, I’ve focused on my own independent practice in Hastings and St Leonards.

Outside interests: 

Outside of my work, my energy is shared between my three young children, my allotment and my love of moving—you will often find me at Parkrun on a Saturday morning, and I teach yoga classes on the West Hill.

  • Acupuncture and Bodywork
  • My approach to acupuncture is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, in which relationships between movement, organ function, physical form, diet, and lifestyle are all taken into consideration. Precise needle techniques used at key points of the body can influence the entire system, moving obstructions or rebalancing where there is not enough blood or fluids. 
  • Bodywork can support acupuncture or be a stand alone practice. Bodywork sessions often involve aligning the skeletal system, gentle joint articulations, rotations and tractions, engaging with the nervous system, and focused soft tissue work on specific areas with hand-pressure techniques. It can also include Chinese Massage (Tuina), abdominal massage and deeply warming qi work.
  • Conditions that respond well to acupuncture and bodywork: 
    1. Digestive issues: tweaking habits, improving motility and calming the nervous system can positively influence the gut. 
    2. Muscular pains and movement restriction: stimulus of tissues and releasing muscle fibres, along with a healthy re-learning of motion. 
    3. Headaches & Migraines: influencing the adverse flow of blood and fluids in the body, investigating the structural and postural elements involved.

When I am not working I can be found painting, making, fixing, swimming, cycling. I am a self-diagnosed learnaholic.
