About me

I qualified with a degree in Physiotherapy from Pinderfields College of Physiotherapy in 1996. I worked at various NHS hospitals and clinics gaining experience across all areas of physiotherapy until I moved to Scotland in 1998. I worked at The Thistle Foundation in Edinburgh for 4 years with the disabled residents and in the physiotherapy outpatients department. In 2003, I began working as a private practitioner at the Alternative Physiotherapy clinic in Edinburgh before going on extended maternity leave in 2005.
I began studying CranioSacral Therapy with the Upledger Institute in 1999 and have attended many of their training courses over the past 13 years. I continue to build my hands-on skills and am currently working my way through the Visceral Manipulation curriculum offered by the Barral Institute in the UK. I am also a trainee doula, but that's a different story.
Using a combination of Physiotherapy, CranioSacral Therapy and Visceral Manipulation I am able to offer hands on treatments, exercises and practical advice to get your body moving towards a better state of health, more freedom of movement and less pain.

Neuromeningeal Manipulation - A revolutionary approach to treating nerve related pain.

I have just completed part one of the Neuromeningeal Manipulation courses run by The Barral Institute UK. The potential application of this work has blown my mind. The precision required to listen deep into the nervous system and discover the source of irritations that are causing nerve symptoms is astonishing. The level one course has equipped me to work, using my hands to search out and gently release tensions within the layers of the membranes that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord - from the outside - I am not a brain surgeon! By listening acutely to the tensions that the body is expressing under my hands, I am able to help those tissues to relax and ease the strain they are putting on surrounding areas of the body. These techniques are particularly useful when treating the ongoing side effects of whiplash injury.
