There is rarely a one way fits all kind of treatment so I use many of the tools in my tool box to steadily work through layers of problems that may have accumulated over days, months, years or even life times.

For example – A client may come to me with shoulder pain and a stiff neck that is tight particularly on one side. They may have one shoulder higher than the other (to try to stop the tightness but it will exaggerate it over time), she may be rounded through the shoulders (protective position), she may turn her upper body instead of just the head to look to the side that is tight and all this has a knock-on effect throughout the body as everything is connected.

Our bodies work like a cog system. Imagine one cog turning one way influencing the next and so on. Well if one clog is tight or blocked then the next cog down tries to work hard for the one that is stuck, then the next one in the chain must work even harder as it’s now compensating for two tight cogs and so on. So, the pain that is showing in the neck may come from the pelvis or even the foot!! 

I 'interview your body by muscle testing to find out exactly which bones are out of balance, which direction they need to move and on which breath - inhalation or exhalation. 

By 'listening' to what the body wants we are more likely to be able to restore balance to your system using gentle movement techniques. There is no forced or jarring moves and nothing to be fearful of, in fact because your body has initialized that movement it will welcome the correction and respond accordingly.

Working in this way usually brings the emotions to the fore as memories tend to flood back as the body releases itself from weeks, months and often years of built-up of ‘stuff’ – very much a technical term! 

Our body holds on to trauma, either emotional or physical and if the emotion isn't dealt with at the time of the incident, which it often isn't then this can cause all sorts of problems. Childhood trauma, trauma from accidents, all sorts of trauma will impact our system and will present in many ways physically and / or emotionally - stress, anxiety, depression, through dis-ease such as heart conditions, IBS, urinary infections, skin complaints and more.

 Most people want to hide any emotions relating to their history but again I tend to know when things run deep. Your first treatment is reflective of what I 'feel' needs to be looked at first and foremost. Your sub-conscious body will tell me a lot of what I need to know then we can get down to the nitty gritty of sorting you out and helping you on to the road of recovery. 

As I work through balancing your body using various methods, I will know if there are emotions attached to any movement and with your permission we will explore all this and work to eliminate the emotion attached to the feeling or movement. 

This may mean stepping outside your comfort zone. but you will be in a very safe environment and nothing will be asked of you that you really believe you can’t do. As you take small steps out of your comfort zone you will find that your comfort zone grows along with your belief of getting better, reduced pain, feeling more empowered, improved posture, feeling freer in your body, improved movement, greater confidence and much more. 

I am always amazed at where people start off and where they get to. 

Your journey of self-discovery can be amazing, sometimes mind blowing and the sense of ‘I am doing this and getting well again’ is a pleasure to share with all my clients.

If you feel I can help you then please do get in touch 

About me: My vision was to have a centre that was unique. A one-stop shop where we could help people to develop a healthy body and mind and for it to be accessible to everybody no matter what their condition or ailment was. A place of energy, friendliness and creativity where everybody would feel welcomed and comfortable. I have such passion for my work and to be able to see a smile appear on someone's face as they achieve something, they never thought possible just makes my day. If I can get peoples' bodies to move in a way it hasn't for a long time, then that feeling is mind blowing not only for the client but also for me. Going to work feels like playing in my own playground each day.
