My Story
I’ve had an interest in bodies for some time, pursuing exercise and movement as a means for more physical freedom and expression. If not in my clinic room, you’ll often see me inverted on my hands, hanging from something or midway through some odd, dynamic movement.
I gained more appreciation in the rehabilitation and biomechanical aspects of the body after my own experiences with injury. Whilst training in London, I was knocked down by a car and was left with a laundry list of injuries to navigate. It was frustrating to not be able to move the way I once had and I felt the treatment I received post-injury was both incomplete and impersonal.
It did drive me to find more knowledge on how things are put together though and I eventually immersed myself in massage therapy. The experience was invaluable in giving me perspective on how a therapist’s role can have a greater role in facilitating recovery.
Before we are athletes, weekend warriors and desk jockeys, we are individuals and this is where I start my treatment. Whether it is improving biomechanics, reducing training and work related tensions, educating and helping others understand their bodies or just having a relaxing and a solid massage, my aim is to work together with my clients to improve the relationship with their bodies.
