ABOUT ME

Dedicated to Wellbeing

I have long been passionate about contributing in ways that make positive change in the world. In 2005, a severe life-changing illness enabled me to begin to connect with this more deeply. It forced me to take stock of my life and my values. I moved away from my design background and began to really connect with my life purpose, to empower others to also connect with their life purpose and with what well-being means for them.  

​

Today I work as an integrative psychotherapist. I teach mindful movement through Pilates and I offer sessions in tension and trauma releasing (TRE®). Here's how that happened...

​

I discovered and fell in love with Pilates, having experienced firsthand just how powerful and transformative the method and movement as a whole can can be, and so completed my teacher training with Body Control Pilates in London in 2009, in order to share this incredible gift with others.

​

Over the years, my teaching has become more and more about well-being, rather than just about fitness. I love to encourage mind/body connections, to enable healing from injury (emotional and physical), to offer a useful tool during times of illness and to encourage the practice of self-care and building self-awareness.

​

Having practiced meditation since 1995, and training as a meditation teacher at Adore Yoga in Sydney, Australia, mindfulness wove its way into my teaching. Today I teach Pilates as a Somatic-awareness practice – to me it is mindfulness in motion.

​

In 2018 I experienced the healing power of TRE®, as designed by Dr. David Bercelli, and so trained to become a certified TRE® provider with Steve Haines and TRE College, London in 2019. As a firm believer that "the body keeps the score", this simple, powerful tool is a perfect bridge between my years of bodywork and psychotherapy training.

​

My introduction to counselling was via a post graduate certificate in the foundations of Counselling  Psychology in the late 1990s at City University, London. I continued this training  by completing a Diploma in Integrative Counselling at The Minster Centre, London and I am currently working to complete an MA in Integrative Psychotherapy, also at The Minster Centre. I work in private practice, seeing clients in-person in Hastings as well as online, and also work with the social enterprise Eggtooth (www.eggtooth.org.uk/).
