I have been working in the field of health for more than 25 years, it has been an interesting journey. My childhood very much laid the groundwork and informs the work that in many ways chose me.  Bear with me and let me explain......

​

I was born very prematurely and had various difficulties as a child, mainly with emotional regulation, I was very sensitive and often overwhelmed - my coordination and balance were also not very good so I lacked the physical stability as well.  I now know this to be connected to my very premature birth and hence primitive reflexes, which had not developed fully in utero. Fortunately my mother was endlessly patient and as a dancer herself, sent me off aged four to dance classes. I struggled initially, however I believe it played a crucial part in helping me to catch up developmentally, the movement helped my scoliosis and gave me greater awareness of my body. I have loved dance ever since.

​

A diagnosis of Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome following glandular fever aged 19 triggered an inevitable curiosity in me about the body and why we get ill and how do we heal.  Allopathic medicine could not help me so i looked further afield.

​

Over a period of time, again, largely thanks to my mother I went from being bedbound to being well.  What helped me heal was a combination of  Ancient wisdoms and modern techniques - Meditation, Yoga, Homeopathy, Crania Sacral Osteopathy and Reflexology, so my career path was  inevitable.

​

Over time I have explored different modalities in depth driven by this curiosity about the mind/body :

What does it mean to be human, to be in balance?

What is our body telling us?

What can dis-ease teacher us?

What role does the psychophysical aspect play?

​I  continue to explore these questions.

​

In BMC we use the maps of Western medicine and science - anatomy , physiology, kinesiology etc but it is influenced by the ancient philosophies and traditions. This is what resonates in me, so my practice is a  personal culmination of everything I have learned from the wisdom of the ancients to modern developments in neuroscience.
