ABOUT OSTEOPATHY
Pain is the body’s way of getting our attention when something is not quite right. Of course physical factors (posture or injury) contribute to the development of pain and discomfort, but osteopathy recognises that psychological factors (stress or anxiety) as well as lifestyle (diet and exercise) play a significant role in what starts to hurt, and when.
The osteopathic philosophy is founded on the principles that the body is a unit composed of body, mind and spirit, and that it has an inherent capacity for self-regulation and self-healing.
Osteopathic treatment intends to identify the reason pain has arisen, remove any barriers to healing and recovery, and reduce the chances of recurrent episodes of pain by allowing the forces of vitality to flow freely once again.
Me + Osteopathy
As an Osteopath, it is my job to guide your body back to its natural state of optimum health. It is a job that brings me close to the real stuff of life every day, and I really enjoy meeting and treating people at all stages of life, whose bodies have their own individual story to tell.
Before osteopathy, I taught yoga in studios and Sky Gardens and sitting rooms across London. After a back injury in 2017, I saw an osteopath who truly guided my whole system back to good health. I experienced such a profound shift in symptoms after just two appointments, and I realised I needed to know more about this ‘osteopathy’ thing….
I studied at the British School of Osteopathic Medicine in London, graduating with a Masters degree in Osteopathy and a Diploma in Naturopathy in 2023. I am continuing my postgraduate studies in the cranial field with the Sutherland Cranial College of Osteopathy having completed Module 2, Osteopathy in the Cranial Field and Module 4, Balanced Ligamentous Tension. In October 2023 I was awarded the Rising Star award by the Institute of Osteopathy, and I am currently undertaking training in paediatric osteopathy with the Osteopathic Centre for Children.
