I love witnessing positive transformation in people and the most effective way that I could help facilitate transformation was to be hands on in clinic. Being a Myotherapist has enabled me to help others make the connection between the inseparable mind and body. Science is slowly catching on, but we are now beginning to realise that there is a brain-body relationship and that emotions are stored in the body’s tissues and that this can translate and show up as physical pain and dis-ease.
I believe great health should be approached holistically and I strive to provide my clients with effective treatment outcomes, but I also look to prevention management and advocate for empowering clients with the knowledge and skills to take control of their own health and well-being. I find that working as a team, the potential for healing is ten-fold! I draw on a variety of different techniques such as deep tissue, myofascial release, dry needling, trigger point release, cupping, mobilisation and Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS), reiki and breathing exercises to assist in nervous system regulation.
One key area of interest to me is lower back pain management. For at least 9 out of 10 people back pain is not caused by any particular condition but from a variety of factors such as posture, weakness or spasm. Addressing simple lifestyle factors and implementing therapeutic exercises often rewards clients with positive results.
For many years I had suffered from chronic lower back pain that kept me limited and feeling powerless. I then began my healing journey to discover the root cause. Learning so much about the intricacies of my own unique body has helped me to effectively manage this once disheartening condition.
In my downtime I love to explore far away hiking tracks, farmers markets, movement practices such as yoga, dance, weight training and various spiritual practices involving meditation, sound healing and breath work.
