About me
I became a physiotherapist for two reasons. I loved sport - had grown up in it, understood the body through it - and I'd seen what good physio could do firsthand. Someone had treated me and it had worked. I wanted to be that person for someone else.
Then, at 26, I found myself working in Sierra Leone when Ebola happened. In the middle of it, I met the only physiotherapist in the entire country. That encounter did something to my understanding of what this profession actually is. I'd come in thinking physio meant sport and performance. I left understanding it had a scope I'd barely touched - that it sat at the intersection of physical suffering, access, and something deeply human about wanting to move without pain.
I left for a while. I worked in climate education, which was important and exhausting in different ways. But I missed the body. I missed what happens in a room when you have the time to connect with another human being properly.
In that time I had also started exploring different modalities myself - breathwork, meditation, plant medicine. Each of them pointing at the same thing: that the body holds more than we give it credit for.
I came back and kept practising, but something had shifted. When I later moved into sports massage, I found something I hadn't expected - a quieter, longer contact with people. People would arrive needing pain relief through massage and somewhere in that contact, something else would surface. A holding pattern that predated the injury. It got me thinking - what is the body trying to say, and do we know how to listen?
I became interested in where physio ends and something older begins - the body's way of storing what the mind hasn't finished processing.
That curiosity led me to Natural Shamanism. The oldest healing tradition on earth. Nature-led, centred on the idea that real healing comes from reconnecting with what we've always known. I'm at the beginning of a 15-month training journey. I'm not going to pretend I'm further along than I am - but I'm learning to work with these tools honestly and carefully alongside my practice.
What I can offer is a physiotherapist who looks at the whole person - past and present. Who works with her hands and stays curious about what the body is trying to say.
I'm based in Wilmslow at a garden studio practice. If something here resonates, I'd love to hear from you.
