About me

My background is in Fine Art and dance; I trained at the Laban Centre in creative and therapeutic movement and have an M.A. in Dance Studies. I worked creatively as a choreographer for film before training as a manual therapist and bodyworker in 1995 in the Ken Eyerman technique. This work uses a mixture of Feldenkrais movement work and massage, it brought together my interests in movement, therapeutic touch and observation.

I had already undertaken the Hellerwork series - a structural integration approach that considers posture as a reflection of personality and experience - and I went on to repeat the full Rolfing series several more times. This influenced my own fascial and observational approach to treatment.

I also became a dedicated ashtanga vinyasa yoga practitioner, and for several years I followed this method, travelling to the Ashtanga Institute in India, and subsequently teaching the practice from 1997. I then completed a foundation in Anusara yoga with Bridget Kramer Woods.

In 2010, I trained in fascial touch and movement with Joane Avison and Alexander Filmer Lorch, and developed sequences that reflected both this work and my dance and movement passion.

I taught at Yotopia for ten years as well as other London studios, and I have continued to expand a more experimental repertoire of somatic-based movement.

I have trained with and been enriched by many great teachers and bodywork therapists; I now also teach the somatic floor exercises of Thomas Hanna. In 2012, I trained with Swami Saradananda as a meditation teacher.
