I have trained extensively in:-

osteopathy - assessing the mechanics of the whole body and in particular, the spine.  I use a variety of manipulative techniques, mostly extremely gentle, to restore a state of balance and ease to the movement and function of the spine. I utilise a complex combination of soft tissue massage, mobilisation and manipulation combined with specialised exercises, pilates style remedial core stability and dynamic assessments to formulate an individual strategy for the patient to recover from their pain.

cranial osteopathy - a particularly gentle and yet effective approach which can deal with retained moulding compression.  It Is particularly suitable for fractious babies who have had a traumatic birth and have been left unsettled with feeding, sleep or colic problems.

naturopathy - a holistic form of therapy which addresses the whole person and the factors in their life which are adversely affecting their health, such as diet, stress, exercise, work or posture.

posture and ergonomics - I have taken an in-depth approach to posture and ergonomics within the workplace and will help you address your long-term postural problems, teaching a few simple, yet effective techniques which can have wide ranging effects.

life coaching - specialising in health and fitness, I help you focus on the key areas of change, such as weight loss, posture, strength and flexibility.

Pilates - a mind body conditioning exercise programme that targets the deep postural muscles of the abdomen and spine to improve overall central core stability and posture. The mind and body are brought together to achieve these aims through the following eight sound principles: concentration, centering, breathing, isolation, routine, precision, control and flowing movement.

gait analysis - a systematic analysis of the way we walk, which relates to joint wear, postural problems and muscle imbalances.
