Welcome To Healing Mind & Body
I am a Remedial Massage and a Craniosacral Therapist with 15 years experience in therapies. I am involved in ongoing training and workshop.
Having found a strong interest in Massage in 1994 and experiencing the many beneifits of bodywork, I was given the opportunity to receive Craniosacral Therapy and I found it to be so effective I decided to learn and practice it myself.
My aim is to offer professional healthcare with Massage and Craniosacral Therapy and to offer a choice so people can work in a way that means something personal to them.
Pregnancy Massage
Massage in Pregnancy is a wonderful experience. It helps a woman relax, supports her body during a period of physiological change and helps prepare the whole body for birth. Pregnancy can put strain on the body and massage can help to relieve aches and pains and other common health problems experienced during pregnancy.
Massage is good for baby too. Research has shown that the unborn baby can be affected by the stress levels experienced by its mother. Massage has an indirect relaxing effect on the baby as the mother releases oxytoxcin and prolactin as a result of skin stimulation. Generally the more relaxed a mother feels during pregnancy, the more relaxed her pregnancy and birth is likely to be.
CranioSacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system. The craniosacral system is comprised of the spinal cord and membranes which works on the central nervous system and therefore throughout the mind and body or holistically.
By complementing the body’s natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for it’s ability to bolster resistance to disease and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction including:
- Lack of energy
- Anxiety
- Tension
- Insomnia
- Depression
- Migraine Headaches
- Chronic Neck and Back Pain
- PMS
- Pregnancy and New Borns
- Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Syndrome
- Post Surgical Dysfunction
- Colic
- Autism
- Central Nervous System Disorders
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders
Pregnancy, Childbirth, New-borns, Infants and CranioSacral Therapy
An hour or so of CranioSacral Therapy during pregnancy can help reduce discomfort and other problems through late term and the birth itself. A few minutes spent with the new-born can resolve many of the effects of foetal and birth stress, helping to ensure good development and healthy adulthood.
The whole essence of Craniosacral Therapy is helping natural processes to work as nature intends. The CranioSacral Therapist, achieves this by interacting hands-on with the person’s connective tissues, energetic and fluid systems to help reduce or remove factors that compromise the natural healing, health-giving and growth processes that are designed at conception. These include reproduction and developmental processes.
About Me
I first came across Massage when I lived in California in 1992 and when I came home to the UK, decided to train in Remedial Massage at The Northern Institute Of Massage.
I graduated in 1995 where my treatments ranged from general relaxation and stress relief, sports injuries/rehabilitation such as muscle strains and sprains to medical ailments.
As time passed and Massage Therapy began to open up doors to other therapies, I moved to London and decided to introduce myself to Craniosacral Therapy in 2003, since which I have gained 7 years of experience. I trained at The Upledger Institute where Craniosacral Therapy opened up my life and deepened my knowledge and faith in the bodies natural ability to heal.
Qualified in Remedial Massage Therapy with the Northern Institute of Massage (diploma). Insured and a Network Member of Embody (the relevent trade body).
