I am an experienced osteopath with intuitive healing gifts, a passion for all things health and lifelong learning and teaching.
My Interests: All stages of women’s health (preconception, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, gynaecological dysfunction, healing trauma, treating babies, working with structural, visceral and cranial osteopathy.
My Journey: I’ve never been on a straight pathway! After school I went to university to study Psychology, I worked as a data analyst for T-Mobile and then worked in Germany for Vodafone for a number of years. At this point the seeds of my journey into women’s health were sewn as I was trying to conceive and experienced a miscarriage in my early 30’s. This felt like a turning point in my life as I started to reflect on what I was passionate about and decided to become a student again and retrain as an osteopath. Six years later I qualified with a Masters in Osteopathy in 2011, and during this time also conceived and gave birth in quick succession to my 2 daughters. My interest in women’s health was well seeded and I then embarked on a 2 year postgraduate diploma studying osteopathy and women’s health at the Molinari Institute of Health and I knew I had found my passion and my groove. My experiences along the way as a mother and a practitioner have continued to inform my work and my path through life. I’m on a path of spiritual awakening, and I’m a health geek, always questioning and researching all things health.
My love of learning and growing has never stopped. I have been following a deeply intuitive path and I weave the following into my work:
Holistic Pelvic Care: This is incredibly powerful, intuitive and sensitive work consisting of intravaginal massage and balancing which truly brings a woman home to her body and restores her core connection and I combine this with visceral osteopathy to support women with experiences of trauma, prolapse, incontinence and the like and this is a cornerstone of my practice.
Ecstatic Birth: I am an ecstatic birth practitioner and trained with Sheila Kamara Hay in New York for 2 years - this is an embodied, somatic pleasure training, connecting for use in birth and beyond.
Hypopressives: This is a breath / movement practice very popular in Spain and Europe that helps to restore optimal pressure balance in the body.
NLP and Shamanic Energy Medicine: I completed 2 years and 700 hours of training, qualifying as a Master Practitioner. This has helped to hone my intuitive skills and taken me much deeper as a womb healer.
Osteopathy in Pregnancy: Unresolved mechanical issues or unresolved trauma can become problematic during pregnancy and may affect not only the mother, leading to aches and pains, but also the positioning and subsequent delivery of baby. Signs could be back pain, pelvic pain, pubic symphysis disorder (PSD), round ligament pain affecting lower abdomen and inner thighs, sciatic type pain, rib pain, reflux. The earlier these symptoms are addressed, the better for your pregnancy and your baby. And you can just book in for a checkup - you don’t need to be experiencing any pain to come along and get balanced and my pregnancy sessions go much deeper than just physical balancing.
Cranial Osteopathy for Babies: I have treated many 100s of babies primarily working on releasing strain patterns they have acquired during the birth process or sometimes from within the womb. Babies may present with a number of symptoms such as unsettled, fussy, hard to latch/feeding difficulties, reflux/digestive issues, not sleeping. I work to help to release any strain patterns baby is holding and also do birth repair work with baby and mother in order to support healing of any birth trauma.
