About

I had an early introduction to holistic approaches to health and wellbeing, growing up in a family of art therapists in a country with one of the healthiest maternity care systems in the world. I spent a year in India & South East Asia in my late teens, exploring and studying Shiatsu (Japanese bodywork based on Chinese Medicine theory). I soon embarked on the integrated Master's degree course at the European School of Osteopathy in Kent where I also discovered my passion for birth work.

Over the last decade I have dedicated my time to supporting women and families perinatally as a registered osteopath specializing in cranial techniques, birth and postnatal doula, antenatal educator and breastfeeding supporter. I also attended the first year of midwifery university training, giving me deeper insight into the maternity care system.

What makes my approach different is the rare combination of osteopathic clinical expertise with genuine doula care. While I can provide the therapeutic treatment you need - osteopathy, cranial work, specialised massage - I can also address your feeding issues, and help you answer all your questions. On top of that, I understand the emotional journey you're on. I see you as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms or another appointment.

You don't have to choose between clinical expertise and compassionate care. You don't have to see multiple practitioners who don't communicate with each other. With me, you get someone who can actually treat the root causes of your discomfort while truly understanding what you're going through.

As a doula, I blend ancient wisdom surrounding childbirth with modern evidence-based knowledge, always honoring your choices and vision. As a registered osteopath, I offer not just relief from physical discomfort, but a space to rest and restore - to find stillness in our fast-paced lives.

I understand that your body accompanies you through all of life's transitions, challenges and joys. Whether you're navigating pregnancy, recovering from birth, or supporting your baby's development, I'm here to offer you expert clinical care delivered with the warmth and understanding of someone who truly gets it.

My goal is simple: to provide you with the highest quality therapeutic care while ensuring you feel heard, respected, and genuinely cared for throughout your journey.
