Welcome to my profile page.
I discovered Craniosacral Therapy in 2006, when I was pregnant on my third child. I found my treatments deeply relaxing and they helped keep me on an ‘even keel’ emotionally. I took very little notice of the fact that my therapist primarily concentrated on my pelvic area. But I felt all the benefit of that when it came to my labour and delivery. The birth was so much shorter and easier than my previous two experiences – the difference was amazing. I couldn’t believe that such a gentle treatment could achieve such physical results – I was hooked.
Two weeks later, I introduced my three children to their first craniosacral therapy session. My newborn was very colicy – I saw improvements after the first two sessions with no further symptoms after his third session. My two older boys had been diagnosed with asthma and Craniosacral Therapy gave them great relief – 9 months later, the dreaded annual hospitalisation for bronchialitis for my second son never materialised – his asthma symptoms were much reduced. I’ve continued to have my children treated regularly and have found it to be of huge benefit in supporting my children through a range of issues, including lordosis (curvature of the spine), pre and during dental braces, disrupted sleep patterns, anxiety and a variety of sports injuries.
My background is in Financial Services, where I worked for 24 years. In 2013, I found the challenge of working full-time, being a wife and mother with four boys was adding a level of stress to my life that I couldn’t sustain. I made the decision to resign from my career and qualify as a Craniosacral Therapist. I have never looked back.
I find being a Craniosacral Therapist to be intensely satisfying. To be able to support a client’s self healing process, bringing balance back to a body is a deeply rewarding experience.
