About Me

What’s Shaped My Life and Practice

For the past twenty-five years, my path hasn’t followed a single system or tradition. I’ve followed what felt real.
‍If something sparked energy, I explored it. If it didn’t hold up in experience, I let it go. My learning has come through the body - through injury, illness, overtraining, stillness, recovery, and returning again and again to what felt true. What I offer now isn’t a fixed method. It’s the result of staying close to that process.

I use acupuncture not to fix, but to support the body’s natural intelligence - helping it settle, reorganise, and find its way back.

My work has moved through different fields - art, visual effects, business, and teaching - but the thread has always been the same: learning how to see, sense, and respond. At home, life has brought its own complexity - raising four children, supporting long-term health challenges, and navigating my own. All of it has deepened the same practice: listening, adapting, and working with what’s here.

Alongside this, movement has remained central. What was once driven by performance and endurance has softened into something more sustainable - rhythm, coordination, and flow. Simple daily practices that keep me connected to the body.

Health & Restoration

My approach draws on classical acupuncture, acupressure, moxa, and other traditional methods, used with care and sensitivity.
‍At times I may work more gently - using non-insertive techniques, tuning forks, or simple contact when the body needs less.Nutrition and supplementation come in where helpful, guided by what the system can genuinely take in and use.
Everything is done with the same intention: helping the body settle and find its way back..

Bodywork & Therapeutics

These methods sit close to the treatment table — rooted in the body, the tissues, and what’s happening in the moment.
‍Through subtle touch and classical tools, I work with the body’s natural patterns of tension and release, helping restore ease and flow.
At times I draw on gentle bodywork approaches that support the fascia and structure of the body, inviting balance rather than forcing change. Throughout the treatment, I follow the body’s signals as they unfold.

Breath, Nervous System and Physiology

Breath sits at the centre of everything — how we arrive, shift, and return to balance.
‍It shapes the nervous system and influences every aspect of health, both within and beyond treatment.
At times I may draw on simple breathing practices to support regulation, helping the body settle, restore rhythm, and find ease again.

Movement & Embodiment

Movement has been one of the ways I’ve come to understand my own body.
‍Not as fitness, but as feedback - a way of sensing structure, rhythm, and flow. Over time, different practices have shaped that understanding through breath, coordination, strength, and stillness. What began as training has gradually become listening - a way of staying connected to the body and noticing when something is out of balance.

Mind & Awareness

This is where symptom becomes message — where thinking gives way to sensing.
‍Over time I’ve come to understand how the body holds experience, how to listen for what sits beneath it, and how to stay with what arises. Practices of stillness and attention have been central - learning to allow space rather than gripping or forcing change. Working with the body, and with people, has deepened this further, showing how emotion, sensation, and awareness move together. None of this was planned. I followed what felt alive and true in experience. What I offer now comes from that process - grounded, responsive, and shaped by what holds up in real life.
