Little a bit about me…..
Hi and thank you for finding me. I live in a beautiful Dorset countryside running my little studio specialising in helping people with chronic pain, debilitating health conditions ( ME, CFS, fibromyalgia), ADHD, autism and guiding them to get to know their nervous system.
You might ask, what do you mean by “getting to know your nervous system”?
I have always been interested in how the brain works. Since my childhood, I have always felt that my brain was a bit different. For years I had chronic pain, anxiety, depression, gut issues and burn outs. This puzzled me. I tried functional medicine, and so many healing modalities that I could write a book about it. But at the end, I had to become the therapist I needed and could not find. All my symptoms finally made sense when I was late diagnosed with ADHD.
I am in the mission to educate people how their nervous system works and guide other therapists about the “bottom up approach” I am developing. Body to brain connection and how everything makes sense when you look at it from the brain perspective.
Movement is key how we develop. It is the blueprint for emotional regulation, how our senses develop and learning.
I come from a very diverse movement background. I have trained in different bodywork approaches and for the last 4 years I have focused my attention understanding the brain, how the nervous system works, primitive reflexes and Polyvagal approaches. I work with trauma and have trained in Internal Family Systems with the IFS Institute. I also use other modalities such as Deep Brain Reorienting, Havening and Brainspotting. I also regularly refer my clients to Functional medicine team.
So you could say, I have a birds eye view how I look at my clients.
I am a course junkie. People always ask me “ so what course are you on now”? I love learning and that is where ADHD comes handy. That ability to hyper focus. I am glad I love my job! I
In my spacetime, I am walking my three dogs, cycling with my husband and hanging out with friends and kids. I love bringing people together whether that is professionally or cultivating friendships. Over the years I have learnt to get to know myself and discovered that I am an introvert, but love being an extrovert in small doses.
So that is little bit about me. Shoot me an email if you are interested in working with me. I do 20 minute introductory calls where we can get to know each other. I am looking forward to hearing from you :)
