how I found myself here.
i spent 9 years as an athlete, a lot of it frustrated with what my body couldn't do and trying to think my way through everything, not in a kind way.
why wasn't i stronger, faster, fitter? why didn’t i feel like i fit in? why did I have to be so tall? always fighting against myself and just struggling to accept what was.
people saw me doing well externally and somehow in that, it felt like the human being underneath it all got lost. the one with emotions, doubts, an inner world that no one ever really asked about. but that can be the world we live in. success looks a certain way, and if you fit the picture, everyone assumes you must be fine and happy.
so i tried to believe it myself. i got swept up in a world that wasn't mine, mistaking external validation and approval for connection and success.
until a head injury made me begin to see things clearly again. to see myself clearly. to see that the world i was living in wasn't a representation of who i am in my heart, my soul.
that was 2021.
the journey since has been an unravelling. a homecoming. a truth-seeking exploration of myself and the world. and i finally feel like I've landed where I was always meant to be.
my own connection with my body, heart and soul has given me the deeper connection i had spent my whole life looking for. and now i share this with others. to allow them to feel that same sense of security, safety and connection with their own body and soul.
i am a certified Spinal Energetics practitioner, Reiki practitioner, Breathwork and Meditation practitioner, Holistic Life Coach and Mind-Body practitioner.
each modality i offer is one i have personally experienced and been transformed by. Spinal Energetics, Breathwork, Meditation and Reiki are not tools i simply trained in. they are practices that have shifted something fundamental in me. i know what it feels like to lie on that table. i know what it feels like for the body to finally release what the mind couldn't process. i know how freeing it can be.

i’ve always been a curious, fearless (i feel fear, but tend to ignore it!) and adventurous soul and i like to understand “things” as best as i can. though i am learning that some aren’t meant to be fully understood with the mind, they are meant to be experienced. learning these modalities has felt more like a remembering than learning something new. i’ve tried many modalities and i have felt drawn to these in particular. they have felt like a natural part of my evolution. unlike my university degrees and netball career that felt more forced.
i have gone deep into these spaces and through them, deep into myself. i believe this is a very important part about being a practitoner, because the ability to hold people through their experience comes from having been through that yourself. in a world that values qualifications and information over lived experience. i strongly believe both matter. knowledge lived, is what creates wisdom, and it is that embodiment that allows me to truly hold space. to bring not just knowing, but capacity, presence and safety into every session.

the modalities
Spinal Energetics
developed by Dr. Sarah Jane, Spinal Energetics is a gentle yet profound modality that works with the spine, nervous system, the body’s innate intelligence and the energetic field. the SE philosophy is that dis-ease begins in the energetic field before manifesting in the physical body, and that our emotions (energy in motion) and past experiences can become stored in the body’s tissues, muscles as tension and organs as dysfunction. until the body is given the space and has the capacity to metabolise them.
using light touch or no touch at all, it invites the body to release stored tension, trauma and emotional holding patterns that live beneath conscious awareness, in the body and in the energetic field. your body and nervous systemlead the way, nothing is forced or manipulated. breath, sound and spontaneous movement may arise naturally as the body unwinds.
each session is completely unique, meeting you exactly where you are. some people feel immediate lightness, clarity and peace. others may notice an unraveling of tension in the hours or days that follow as the body continues to integrate. both are normal, and are part of the process. a 72 hour integration period is common.
Spinal Energetics was the key that unlocked the part of me that i had spent so long looking for. When i began my healing journey i knew there was something in me that needed to be transmuted. A pain i’d been carrying for a long time, that breathwork hadn’t quite allowed me to reach. i have never felt freer after the session that allowed that to be process and move through me. Spinal Energetics has literally transformed my internal world. My calm confidence, clarity on my own potential and direction, my connection with my heart and trust that life supports me. it has also brought amazing, authentic and inspiring people into my life, that i am so grateful for.
Breathwork
Breathwork is one of the most powerful and accessible tools we have for shifting our state quickly, deeply and without needing to understand why. a majority of the population breathe dysfunctionally day to day and that can have an effect on our internal state. restricted breathing can increase stress, muscle tension and heart rate.
using different breathing techniques we are able to shift our nervous system state, move out of the thinking mind and into the felt experience of the body, releasing stored emotion and creating space for clarity, presence and peace. Breathwork meets you where you are. all you need is a willingness to breathe and invite more life into the body.
Breathwork changed my life. i broke my nose when i was 9 and had it fixed when i was 29. twenty years of mouth breathing that was quietly dysregulating everything. retraining myself to breath through my nose was the start, but as i began to experience the profound shifts, like my anxiety subsiding, i had to learn more. i did my practitioner training over 2023-2024, learning about functional breathing and optimising breath during exercise improved my sporting performance under pressure, also improving my recovery and sleep.
conscious connected breathwork is what really began the unraveling of held emotions after years of being the strong one, holding it together for everyone else and absorbing others emotions. i had so many people after different breathwork sessions telling me i looked lighter, younger, more alive. it’s incredible.
Usui Reiki
there is an intelligent, living energy that moves through all things, including you. In Japanese, Rei means universal and Ki means life force energy. together, Reiki is simply the universal life force that animates all living beings. when life becomes heavy or stressful this energy can become blocked, showing up as tension, fatigue, emotional heaviness or a quiet sense that something is off. Reiki gently invites it back into flow. as your practitioner i act as a conduit, allowing life force energy to move through my hands and into your body, wherever it is most needed. this energy is deeply intelligent. it doesn't need to be directed. it knows where to go.
what clients often experience is a profound sense of peace, warmth and simply the feeling of finally being able to relax.
Reiki was the beginning of my energy healing journey. i needed some sort of help, talk therapy hadn’t worked. i didn’t feel like i consciously chose it, it was like my body led me and said “this is what you need”. i was sceptical. even with the beautiful colours floating around behind my eyes and the feeling of one hour going so slow, yet so fast at the same time. i was still sceptical. could it just be imagination. until following my 4th session, a knee injury i had no longer hurt as i walked out of the session. i was living in the UK at the time and wanted to move home, it was a period of internal struggle, Reiki really helped me find balance, calm me and helped me become more present and grateful for the small things in each moment. its gentle, nourishing and supports you where you are at.
