Background practice and philosophy:
Since breaking my coccyx at the age of 12, my personal journey to optimal health through osteopathy, chiropractic, massage and dance has deeply informed my professional inquiry and practice.
With the birth of my first child in 2002 my focus shifted from the demanding physical work and long hours of full time event production to the subtle somatic, physiological and psychological depths of the human body. I am particularly interested in exploring the bridge where you, my clients roll off the massage table and into your daily lives, with a heightened awareness of how you move through physical space and how physical space moves through you.
I graduated from the Australian College of Massage as a Remedial Massage Therapist in 2008 and have since worked alongside a multitude of health practitioners including Chiropractors, Osteopaths, Naturopaths and Chinese medicine practitioners in both Australia and the UK.
