About Me
I became interested in Bowen when most other physical therapies had failed to help my chronic back pain. Bowen gave me significant relief and I was impressed by the subtleties of the approach.
I studied for my Diploma under the Bowen Academy of Australia (Bowtech) and I also have the ITEC Anatomy and Physiology Diploma.
I am a full member of the Bowen Practitioners associated with the Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia and the UK Association, and was a committee member in 2005, and now co-edit the UK Bowen Association Newsletter.
I have Professional Membership of the NHS Directory of Complementary and Alternative Practitioners, Endometriosis UK, the Hypermobility Association and the London & SE Hypermobility Club,(an academic group, led by Professor Rodney Grahame), the International Association of Dance Medicine and Science (IADMS) and Dance UK. I am also a member of the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council . CNHC is the national regulator for complementary healthcare practitioners. I also have a full Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check.
I have a particular interest in treating chronic fatigue and chronic pain, back pain, dancers' injuries, women's health complaints and symptoms related to having Joint Hypermobility Syndrome. I am also quite willing to work with patients whose injuries have not responded well to other therapies in the past, or to whom I am the 'last resort'.
I am also very interested in working with dancers, especially classical ballet dancers, and the acute injuries sustained by dancers. I have now completed an MSc in Dance Science at Laban which will mean that I have expertise in working with and supporting dancers who have become injured.
I have written a number of articles about the Bowen Technique, and have had several published including one by the The British Medical Journal. I have also had articles published about me in the Cambridge Explorer Magazine and The Dancing Times.
