The CranioSacral Practice

I have always been passionate about alternative medicine. As a teenager, I attended lectures on Ayurveda and have studied under the same doctor ever since, expanding into daily yoga practice. My goal is to support people on their vitality and well-being journey. Through my Biodynamic Craniosacral work with people going through crisis and living with chronic conditions, I have gained a broader understanding of how trauma can impact our lives and discovered a way of being in the body that feels safe.

My approach is gentle and non-judgmental, aiming to connect with the inherent vitality that governs all Beings. Some of the highlights of my CST career have been working with Teens at a Pupil Referral Unit (a school for children excluded from mainstream) and with adults in a Drug and Alcohol Recovery Centre. I work with people across all ages – from babies to seniors.

Through complementary medicines, I have found the resources I need to deal with the stressful nature of balancing work and life demands in my personal life. I am a mother of three and I am well aware of both the joys and responsibilities of family life.

You can find me at The Craniosacral Practice in Marylebone and The Claygate Clinic in addition to supervising at the Teaching Clinic in Islington.

I also offer Craniosacral Therapy for corporate environments, providing businesses with a holistic approach to employee well-being, promoting relaxation and reducing stress through gentle, hands-on therapy.
