what we do
Seeking the pivot point of change for your body
At the heart of osteopathy is a manual therapy that takes account of biosocial factors including relationships, sleep and the pressures of modern life. Health and wellbeing are located in the dynamic interrelationships between the body and the world.
Over the 20 years as a practicitioner I continue to be entranced by how this gentle, hands-on approach supports our bodies find the wellness they are seeking.

preparing for your treatment- a body at rest is ready to respond
Osteopathy in the Cranial Field is a unique modality, using light touch to inspire deep change.
Treatment begins when the body is at rest, and in a world where the chronic diseases of lifestyle are being ever understood to relate to stress it can be confronting to engage with the changes which will alter this.
You are encouraged to arrive on time, take a moment to sit in the garden, turn off your phone, and regard treatment as a check in with yourself.
