About Me
I have been working in the field of health for over 30 years. First in the NHS in mental health and paediatrics, then as an Alexander Technique Teacher and, more recently, as a Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist. I have worked with people of all ages and conditions, and have benefitted from working in hospitals, the community, secondary, drama and music schools. As a mother of three children, understanding the challenges of family life also informs my work. I have lived and worked in the Middle East and Africa, which has exposed me to the nuances of different religions and cultures, and has greatly enriched my work.
My Training
I trained for three years as an Alexander Technique Teacher and am a member of the Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique. I have completed a two year diploma in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy with Circle Cranio and I am accredited by the Craniosacral Therapy Association.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy and Bachelor of Arts in Art History.
