Strengthening the connection between mind and body
Internal Integration with Craniosacral Therapy can help you access and integrate your internal resources and strengthen your mind-body connection. In the process, it works to identify and resolve tensions, as well as the effects of stress and past trauma.
For people with chronic pain or stress, I also offer approaches such as Pain Reprocessing Therapy and specialised pain rehabilitation.
If you are an athlete, performing artist, designer or other professional at the top of your game, Internal Integration with Craniosacral Therapy allows you to reach deeper and achieve more.
Internal Integration means offering what works best for you.
Craniosacral Therapy
Internal Integration with Craniosacral Therapy can help you access and integrate your internal resources and strengthen your mind-body connection. In the process, it works to identify and resolve tensions, as well as the effects of stress and past trauma. It is like having your body tuned and optimised. This includes deep relaxation, with resolution of tensions, internal blockages and patterns of disharmony. Craniosacral Therapy is typically done with you lying on a couch, fully clothed, while I apply light touch to different parts of your head, back and other areas.
Chronic Pain Therapy
If you come to me for persistent pain or stress, we spend time to discuss what you have been through. I can help you understand your pain and give you strategies to get your life back on track. We can agree on a treatment programme to normalise the way your system deals with pain.
I can combine this treatment with Craniosacral Therapy, as appropriate, helping you to tune into the wisdom of your body, experience deep relaxation and reconnect with the happy and healthy parts of yourself.

Craniosacral Therapist, Physiotherapist, Pain Specialist
Pain, stress and the pressure to perform are never only physical, and never only in the mind. The two are connected, and each shapes the other.
I have spent over 35 years as a physiotherapist, many of them with people whose pain had not been helped elsewhere. Lasting change rarely comes from working on one part of you in isolation. It comes when your body and nervous system are given the conditions to settle, and the resources you already have can come back into play.
I came to Craniosacral Therapy as a patient. After an injury in 2023 that none of several treatments could shift, it cleared my symptoms and left me feeling profoundly relaxed and alive, in a way I had not known before. I went on to train as a Registered Craniosacral Therapist, and I bring that experience to my clinical work alongside acupuncture, an MSc in Pain, a PhD, and many years of Ch’i Kung and meditation.
Whether you are living with persistent pain or stress, or want to reach deeper in your work, we can start by working out what you need.
