Whether you’re seeking relief, reflection, or professional refinement — I invite you to return to yourself.
Individual Consultations
In these one on one sessions, we explore the underlying drivers of your concerns. I offer clear, accessible education about the nervous system and pain — helping reduce fear, build understanding, and lay the groundwork for long-term change.
Sessions are 60 minutes, offered in person or online.

I take a holistic, person-centred approach — listening deeply and considering how different aspects of your life may be influencing your current condition.
Our work together is collaborative. I see you as the agent of change, while I act as a facilitator and guide — creating a supportive environment for learning, self-awareness, and meaningful change.
A central focus of this work is helping the nervous system shift from states of stress or protection into a felt sense of safety. This may be supported through Feldenkrais-informed touch — gentle, respectful, and non-invasive — or through verbally guided movement. These approaches create the conditions for the system to reorganise, adapt, and heal.
As regulation improves, we begin to explore new movement possibilities — with variation, curiosity, and sensitivity. Together, we look at ways of moving that not only feel easier, but are also biomechanically more efficient. As movement becomes more coordinated and adaptable, people often notice a corresponding increase in comfort and ease.
To support what unfolds in our sessions, I’ll often suggest simple explorations or movements to continue at home. These help deepen awareness, enhance neuroplasticity by supporting the brain to adopt new and more efficient movement pathways, and strengthen the improvements made in-session — laying the foundation for lasting change over time.
Classes
These classes are grounded in the Feldenkrais Method of Awareness Through Movement® — a gentle, exploratory practice that enhances how you move, sense, and experience your body.
Classes are typically offered as a six-class series, each with a theme to provide focus and continuity in the learning process.
These classes offer time to move gently, reflect inwardly, and reconnect with your body — creating space for ease, awareness, and meaningful change.
More
I approach teaching with a holistic, person-centred philosophy. While classes are held in a group setting and follow a generalised structure, the learning experience remains deeply personal. Clients are encouraged to move at their own pace, adapt movements to suit their needs, and stay attuned to their own internal experience. This makes the work accessible and supportive for people of all ages and backgrounds.
The classes invite you to interrupt habitual movement patterns — often shaped by pain, tension, or stress — and discover new, more comfortable ways of moving and being. Through gentle, mindful exploration, you may experience greater ease, fluidity, and presence. Each session offers a chance to slow down, listen inwardly, and experience movement as a source of nourishment and calm.
Though offered online, these classes foster a warm sense of connection and community. Sharing the space with others — each person engaged in their own process — creates a rhythm of support and belonging. Many participants find that this shared environment cultivates both accountability and a subtle but powerful sense of togetherness.
Workshops
Workshops offer a spacious and focused environment for deeper learning, integration, and transformation. With more time than a regular class, these sessions give the nervous system a chance to settle, absorb, and begin to reorganise in meaningful ways.
Workshops are offered both online and in person, typically as half-day or full-day events. Themes vary, but are designed to support layered, focused learning that builds on itself over time.
More
Each workshop weaves together guided movement, experiential learning, and relevant education to support embodied understanding. The slower pace and extended format allow space to sense more deeply, explore complex ideas, and let change unfold with greater depth and clarity.
These sessions are held in a group setting, where the shared focus and collective rhythm help reinforce safety, curiosity, and connection — while still allowing space for each person to follow their own process.
Workshops are an invitation to slow down, tune in, and explore movement as a gateway to presence, possibility, and self-organisation.
Clinical Supervision and Professional Training
These offerings integrate movement, perception, and reflective clinical inquiry to support deeper understanding in therapeutic work. They are designed for psychologists, physiotherapists, Feldenkrais Method practitioners, and allied health professionals who want to ground their practice in embodied awareness, contemporary neuroscience, and clear, thoughtful clinical reasoning.
More
Clinical supervision offers a space to reflect on the complexity of practice — not to find quick answers, but to listen more closely to what’s unfolding.
These sessions are an invitation to slow down, stay curious, and explore the layers beneath your work. Together, we look at how pain, perception, protection, and relationship shape the therapeutic process — and how theory and technique can serve a more spacious, human-centred way of practicing.
There’s space to clarify therapeutic choices, deepen clinical understanding, and consider how to see the whole person — not just their symptoms, but their context, their story, and their potential for change.
Supervision also supports your own self-organisation and self-reflection — helping you notice how your nervous system responds in the work, how that shapes the relationship, and how to stay grounded without losing yourself.
It’s about supporting the quality of your practice — and your capacity to keep doing this work in a way that feels clear, grounded, and connected.
Sessions are offered online or in person, and are open to physiotherapists, psychologists, Feldenkrais practitioners, and others working at the intersection of body, mind, and behaviour.
Professional training is for clinicians who want to integrate somatic and neuroscience-informed perspectives into their practice.
These trainings explore the role of movement, perception, and nervous system regulation in shaping experience — and how embodied awareness can support emotional, cognitive, and behavioural change. Rooted in the Feldenkrais Method, pain science, and neuroplasticity, the courses offer a practical, grounded approach to working with the whole person.
Participants are supported to expand clinical frameworks, deepen their capacity for listening, and grow confidence in holding space for complex presentations — including persistent pain, trauma, and nervous system dysregulation.
Trainings are designed for psychologists, physiotherapists, and allied health professionals, and are offered in small groups both online and in person. Each course includes experiential movement, clinical reflection, and theory woven through practice.
Future Offerings
3-5 day Intensive or Course.
An extended multi day intensive or course offers an immersive experience that blends guided movement, experiential anatomy, neuroscience, and reflective learning.
More
Courses are structured around a unifying theme, such as integration, self-awareness, or functional transformation.
The immersive format allows time and space for meaningful change—offering clients the opportunity to explore, reflect, and embody new possibilities in a supportive learning environment.
Retreats: A Space for Rest and Somatic Learning
Retreats offer a dedicated time to step away from daily routines and focus on embodied self-awareness.
More
Through mindful movement and somatic practices, these retreats support the release of tension, regulation of the nervous system, and healing from chronic pain. Participants have the opportunity to explore movement patterns, understand the neuroplastic potential of the body, and deepen their awareness of how pain, stress, and movement intersect in a supportive, reflective environment.
